    God created an angel called Lucifer. The devil chose to become evil

  • 8 years ago

    The devil was an angel created by God. Angels used to have free will (that is, they were able to sin). Satan chose to rebel against God and he was cast out of heaven. He was sealed in his self-generated evil. God never had a part in his transformation.

    Yes, God created the Devil because He loves the Devil and wanted him to have a relationship with God. However, the Devil chose foolishly to sin against God. As a result, Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. Since Hell was not created for humanity, anyone who places their faith in Christ Jesus and repents from their sins will be forgiven and will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This is because the person who placed his or her faith in Christ Jesus is using Christ's death as the wage for sin, which is death, instead of his or her own death. As a result the person will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

    The devil was one of Gods angels until he disobeyed him. He was ousted from heaven and became the devil.

    yes. originally he was an angel named Lucifer. then he got prideful thinking that he could be better than God, so he and 1/3 of the angels in heaven that chose to go with him (known as fallen angels or demons) were cast out of heaven. now hes known as Satan/the devil. one day, Jesus will come back and Satan and the demons will be cast into hell. but for now, the devil and his workers are causing trouble all around the earth trying to bring as many people with them as possible

    No, The Devil does not exist. Look up the Demonization of Pan. I think you will be surprised.

    there is no god. That's just a children's story that some slow adults still believe

    Yes. In Islam: God created the devil, at the beginning the devils were nice people, they are believed to be made out of fire, when god created Adam (the first human), god asked the devils to bow to him but the devils said "why should i bow to a mere human who is made out of mud, i'm fire. fire is better than mud". that's how the devils opposed the gods.

    Implying <--- this is only in islam belief. dunno if it is in any other religion.
