God created Satan, a liar from his beginning, for His, God's purpose. The inordinate obsession religious beings have with the character does not change the fact that the character is part and parcel of God's plan to rule over the nations.

Can you break your second paragraph down for me to understand clearly ?

Is there any proof that he did?

Many Religions Believe in The Concept of "God Creating The Devil" Who is Interrupting And Disturbing His Earthly Projects.

So My Question Is: "Why Create A Person That Would Quench Your Purpose For Creating Human Beings?"

Why do humans have an affinity for evil?
Why is selfishness easier than sacrifice for greater good?

What really is Satan if all the evil we do boils down to "what we want to do for our own good"?

The bible answered it and it all boils down to the fact that humans think that they are intelligent whereas they are stupid as proven by the troubles they get into as.a result of doing things to their own good.

You Are Human Too.

And You Just Proclaimed Yourself As Being "Stupid" Too.

However; You Don't Have To Call Yourself "Stupid" Because Words Are Powerful And This is A Terrible Thing To Say About Yourself And The Entire Human Race - All Because You Want To Arrogantly Support The Existence of An Imaginary God That Was Indoctrinated Into Your Subconsciousness.

You'll HEAL Eventually.

God didn't create a Satan rather one of the perfect spirit sons of God chose to rule over others and in his bid to achieve his aim turned into a slanderer (Satan)
So God didn't create a Satan just as no mother gave birth to a thief but the child grew up and became a thief due to greed!

GOD created Satan even though that was not its original personality from the day it was created.

Why Did A Supposedly Almighty God Create A Spirit That He Knows Will Become SATAN Who Will Rebel Against His Authority ?

Since The Bible Records That: "God Knows The END From The BEGINNING."

So, God Knew Before Hand That One of The So-Called Spirit That He Created Will Someday Become THE SATAN That Would Slander His Project.

Why Did He Carry On With The Creation of This Slanderer That He Should Have Avoided Knowing Fully Well That He Wants To Achieve A Successful Project ?

■ Why Did God Create And Allow Satan To Afflict People?

Read Deuteronomy 28 vs 16 - 57 and Leviticus 26 beginning from verse 12, or so. You will see that God's plan includes the afflicting of punishment and suffering on those who enter into Covenant with Him but refuse to obey — those who are subject to His curse. God created and uses Satan for exactly that, His purpose. undecided

Lucifyre:
If you read the biblical apocrypha you'ld find out they are two sides of the same coin especially the old testament. Narcissistic, vengeful, full of anger, hypocritical, are words that decribes that actions of both in the torah, so basically both sides of the same coin(isaiah 45 v 7). Although one is seemingly more powerful but for some reason can't end the less powerful one. Like a fox going to kill and steal a farmer's chicks from their pen but instead of the famer outrightly killing the fox, he brings it to live in the pen with the chicks and then gets angry at the chicks for getting eaten, knowing they are weaker by design. Make it make sense. A tiny drop of logic and it all crumbles like a drop of water to tissue paper.

You are the one not making sense to me. There are over 4000 deities out there worshipped by men, each with a profile nearly unique from the rest. The religion of Christianity alone harbors about 47,000 cults/denominations, each with its unique idol which they cling to. The god of Adeboye looks completely different from the god of Kumuyi; the god of Jerry Eze looks nothing like the god of TB. Joshua; the God of Oyedepo looks nothing like the god of chris oyakilome, etc. So what are you going about one God for all nonsense? undecided

My response drew a line between the Allah of the Muslims and the God of Israel who swore that Israel is His chosen, his only inheritance in the land of men. undecided

For harmony
But with his fiery energy decided to betray The creator and go against balance by trapping humans
Fire or hell was meant to forge us on our true paths as humans
But how come humans go through fire and never come out instead they stay there and become destroyers of the earth them selves
Did the king of hell or fire really betray the creator or humans don't really know how to control the fire in their hearts?
They found comfort in the fire instead of going through it... because of the power it yields
Who doesn't like to conquer??
So I think Satan was created as a test for humans
He tricks you to thinking his power can help you when you find yourself in his domain
But there is a greater power if you can pass his test and reject whatever he offers...he is just a trickster to keep you bound
But if you reject what he has to offer there is even a much greater power instore for you
Because then you will be set on your path of true destiny
I know you don't understand but I wish you could
But God wants us to fulfill destiny
Like the iron you have to go through fire to be forged into whatever the blacksmith wants to use you for
God created him for that purpose
Humans don't like him because he is a disciplinarian
Humans don't like disciplinarians

Nice Writeup.

However:

Add This To Your Knowledge:

You Are Either THE GOOD GOD,
OR
You Are The EVIL DEVIL.

There's No Imaginary God Or Devil Somewhere Else.

There's No Paradise With Golden Cities, And No Lake of Fire For EVIL PEOPLE....

All You Have Within You is Your Conscious Mind Which Is Your Conscience To Chose Between Either Being A GOOD GOD Or An EVIL DEVIL.

You Have Yourself To Choose Whatever GOOD OR EVIL You Want To Become.

If You Don't Know That This is What It is To Life; You'll Miss It.

Key Point: The Concept of God or Devil (GOD) Lies in The INTENT of Your Heart.

Let's Take Your Analysis To Be Factual.
Now, What is Stopping God From Destroying The Slanderer Instead of Casting The Humans Deceived By The Slanderer into The Lake of Fire ?

God is not power drunk like stupid humans so when His spirit son turned to a rebel He chose wisely His next line of action which is allowing this spirit son to see the consequences of rebellion instead of killing him which may raise doubts in the minds of His other spirit sons.
The allegation Satan raised against God is that He doesn't want anyone to be truly free which means He is hiding something from them so if they're allowed to do whatever they like they will really enjoy their existence better than just doing the will of one person.
With that God freed him that's why God didn't destroy Satan immediately.

Questionnaires:

What is The Whole Essence of Creating A Malfunctioning "So Called Perfect Spirit of God" Who Decides To Rule Over Others ?

Perfection in this case doesn't mean the created can't choose to do what is harmful it simply means the creature can perfectly handle any assignment given without a blunder if he is willing because all the qualities needed to carry out the task is inbuilt in each creature so when God said everything He made was perfect {Genesis 1:31} it means they can perform excellently as long as they're doing the tasks assigned to them.

Questionnaires:

What Has Been Stopping God From Destroying Satan All These While Instead of Allowing Satan To Destroy His Original Plan For Humans And The Earth ?

Did you realize that after Satan has taken his leave from doing God's will he recruited Adam and Eve who are also perfect creatures as his allies?
He lied to Eve that they will not die if they eat the forbidden fruit, they will become their own God and know how good and bad without having to rely on God's guidance! Genesis 3:4-5
Of course Eve fell for it but Adam didn't {1Timothy 2:14} Adam saw it as a way out to dominate other intelligent creatures that will come through him after all they are his own production that's why God told Eve that Adam who has chosen to be a god on his own now will not only dominate others but also treat her the same way he does to others! Genesis 3:16
So Satan introduced POLITICS to the human family in that they will set standards for right and wrong among themselves without God's approval then those ruling over them will act like gods by proving to be above the laws after all they made the law therefore they can alter it anytime they want most especially when it's about to catch up with them.
Today the world has seen so much trouble due to human rulership {Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9} and Satan has failed in his attempts to make humans rule themselves successfully so when Jesus said God has proved to be true in all His ways he was referring to what God said in the beginning:

"But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die" Genesis 2:17

Even without sickness or oldage most people feel like ending their own lives today due to the untold pains and suffering brought upon the human race by human government!

Questionnaires:

Why Did A Supposedly Almighty God Create A Spirit That He Knows Will Become SATAN Who Will Rebel Against His Authority?

According to the Bible God never harbour evil thoughts {James 1:13} so when He created the intelligent creatures He never doubted them by reading their hearts to know what they will choose to do, He is HOLY means PURE in heart and thought therefore everyone was given the privilege to prove how grateful they are for the gift of life!

Questionnaires:

Since The Bible Records That: "God Knows The END From The BEGINNING."
So, God Knew Before Hand That One of The So-Called Spirit That He Created Will Someday Become THE SATAN That Would Slander His Project.

NO! He never knew because He gave everyone the privilege to prove themselves grateful for all He has done for us:

““Do not harm the boy, and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing because you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.” Genesis 22:12
Does the above shows God knows what each person will choose to become as most people presume?

Questionnaires:

Why Did He Carry On With The Creation of This Slanderer That He Should Have Avoided Knowing Fully Well That He Wants To Achieve A Successful Project?

During creation the HOLY one never harbour any evil thoughts because He has the power to complete whatever He purposes to do no matter what happens so He gave everyone the opportunity to participate in His works even the tiny ants you're seeing around you have a part to play in God's will regarding our planet home: earth.

God said He knows the ending from the beginning doesn't mean what each person will choose to do rather He has the ability to see the work done to the end:

"For just as the rain and the snow pour down from heaven And do not return there until they saturate the earth, making it produce and sprout, Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, And it will have sure success in what I send it to do" Isaiah 55:10-11

May you have PEACE!
