God created the Devil

Long before Jehovah God created humans, he made a multitude of spirit creatures. (Job 38:4, 7) In the Bible these spirits are called angels. (Hebrews 1:13, 14) God created all of them perfect—not a single one was a devil or had any evil trait. How, then, did the Devil come to be? The word “devil” means “slanderer” and thus refers to someone who tells malicious lies about others. “Satan” means “Resister,” or opposer. Just as a formerly honest man makes himself a thief by stealing, one of the perfect spirit sons of God acted upon an improper desire and made himself Satan the Devil. The Bible explains the process of self-corruption this way: “Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.”—James 1:14, 15.
This is apparently what happened. When Jehovah God created the first human pair, Adam and Eve, the angel who was about to rebel against God took note. He knew that Jehovah commanded Adam and Eve to fill the earth with righteous people, who would worship the Creator. (Genesis 1:28) This angel saw that there was a possibility that he could gain honor and importance. Motivated by greed, he coveted what rightly belongs only to the Creator—worship from humans. Instead of rejecting such an improper desire, this spirit son of God nurtured it until it gave birth to a lie and then to rebellion. Consider what he did.
The rebellious angel used a serpent to speak to the first woman, Eve. “Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?” the serpent asked Eve. When Eve cited God’s command and the penalty for disobeying it, the serpent declared: “You positively will not die. For God knows that in the very day of your eating from [the tree that is in the middle of the garden] your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad.” (Genesis 3:1-5) The assertion was that God had not told Adam and Eve the truth. By eating the fruit of that tree, Eve would supposedly become like God, having the authority to decide what was good and what was bad. That was the first lie ever spoken. Telling it made that angel a slanderer. He also became an opposer of God. The Bible thus identifies this enemy of God as “the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan.”—Revelation 12:9.

GOD didn't create Himself because at the very beginning HE was. HE created the angels of which the devil was one. The devil didn't like the fact that he was lower than GOD and he was jealous and wanted to be GOD. GOD cast him out of heaven and a third of the angels followed him. They are now his demons and are out to deceive the people of GOD. But in the end their fate is sealed because on the last day they will be cast into hell.

God was not created as it has been acknowledged, he created the devil first as an angel but with the purpose of making him rebel against Him. the main reason he was created in the first place is not to remain an Angel but to become the refiner of men. to qualify them to become instruments in God's hand.

The Devil went against God just like Adam & Eve. God created all three. I guess you could call them an unholy trinity.

God created everything, including Lucifer, the best of all the angels. But the fame went to his head and he felt that he was as good as, if not better than God his creator. And, like any cult, his followers egged him on. Oh yeah, all the fallen became politicians. The end.
