Since the bible shows that lying, evil spirits are from God...?
...then why do christians claim these things are from Satan?
1Ki 22:23
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a [lying spirit] in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken [evil] concerning thee.
1Sa 16:14
But the [Spirit] of the LORD departed from Saul, and an [evil spirit] from the LORD troubled him.
1Sa 16:15
And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an [evil spirit] from God troubleth thee.

The scriptures you quoted SAY they were lying and evil spirits because they were. God didn't create you to lie but you do. He didn't create evil spirits (fallen angels) to lie either but they did and do (Satan and his minions). They chose evil and lying over being holy just as you and i do. We were created by the same God with the same nature as the evil spirits and Satan. Satan is the most intelligent of them. The difference between us and them is the dimension they are in. They are in the spiritual realm and we are in the temporal realm. In nature, we are no different than they.

... because the affirmation of one fact is not always the same as the negation of another.
Even the pharisees knew that Satan has power over his minions. Matthew 12:24.
Compare Revelation 16:13.

When God takes His spirit from a man there is nothing left but the spirit of Satan and lies are his language.

Because they are not from God, and they are not from Satan either. You are confused. All the spirit sons of God, like humans, were created good, but also as free moral agents.

The first scripture you read. I call that nit picking on your part because your evil searching eyes didn't read the whole story. The second scripture speaks of Satan obviously since Satan used to reside in heaven. The third, as i said already, he Satan used to reside in heaven, Not as Evil at first but that Evil one lived in heaven at one point, not created evil but with free will and soon used his free will to become evil, hence evil spirit from God, Lucifer was created, so he is from God through Jesus, Mainly through God since he spoke the words to create. The Evil spirit (Satan) From God.

Chrustians are delusional. I don't even see how christians claim to follow Christ yet Christ was a Jew who studied, practiced, and taught the Torah.
Take what they say with a grain of salt.

The lord is satan.
God is loving and forgiving.
The lord is jealous and vengeful.
These are opposites.
What is the opposite of God?
