This is a popular question: “Why would God create Satan?”
Let’s be clear… God didn’t create Satan.
Yes, you heard me right. He didn’t create the devil.
God created Lucifer (aka Son of the Morning or Shining One) to be perfect. A perfect being (read Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 to understand more) who was found “with iniquity.”
INIQUITY
———-
Refers to a deep-seated moral corruption, wicked acts, or a persistent violation of law and duty that is offensive to God and society.
———-
Satan is different from his former self, Lucifer. It happened through his use of free will. You know, the same free will that man uses to obliterate himself, his friends, his family, and this world.
Because of these acts, according to these scriptures Lucifer had to be removed from the sight of God. We have to assume Lucifer would not turn away from this iniquity and be sorry for it, and we’ve been taught too much non-scriptural speculation as to what was the specific iniquities.
Needless to say, Lucifer rejected the Triunal God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in this instance and through free will became Satan.
So the question is not ‘Why would a God, a loving God, create an evil devil, a hateful being like Satan.
Do you understand?
Evil is not something that God created.
It is a byproduct of the absence of God’s Will.
