If god is in control of everything, how comes he isn't held responsible?

The bible states, "We know that we originate with God but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." Who is Satan, who made himself the devil by lieing to Eve in the garden of Eden. Genesis 3:1,4. Just like a person becomes a thief by stealing they were not born a thief, just like Satan was not created wicked,we all have free will to choose our course in life for good or bad.

Does God’s ability to foreknow and foreordain events prove that he does this regarding all the actions of all his creatures?

Rev. 22:17: “Let anyone hearing say: ‘Come!’ And let anyone thirsting come; let anyone that wishes take life’s water free.” (The choice is not foreordained; it is left to the individual.)

Rom. 2:4, 5: “Do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, because you do not know that the kindly quality of God is trying to lead you to repentance? But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and of the revealing of God’s righteous judgment.” (There is no forcing of individuals to pursue a prescribed course. But there is accountability for what one does.)

Zeph. 2:3: “Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth . . . Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.” (Would a just and loving God encourage people to do what is right, in hope of a reward, if he knew that they were foreordained not to succeed?)

Illustration: The owner of a radio can listen to the world news. But the fact that he can listen to a certain station does not mean that he does. He must first turn on the radio and then select the station. Likewise, Jehovah has the ability to foreknow events, but the Bible shows that he makes selective and discretionary use of that ability, with due regard for the free will with which he has endowed his human creation.—Compare Genesis 22:12; 18:20, 21.

From where did Satan come?

All of Jehovah’s works are perfect; he is not the author of unrighteousness; so he did not create anyone wicked. (Deut. 32:4; Ps. 5:4) The one who became Satan was originally a perfect spirit son of God. When saying that the Devil “did not stand fast in the truth,” Jesus indicated that at one time that one was “in the truth.” (John 8:44) But, as is true of all of God’s intelligent creatures, this spirit son was endowed with free will. He abused his freedom of choice, allowed feelings of self-importance to develop in his heart, began to crave worship that belonged only to God, and so enticed Adam and Eve to listen to him rather than obey God. Thus by his course of action he made himself Satan, which means “adversary.”—Jas. 1:14, 15.

God did not create Satan. Satan is the source or god of all evil and lies.

It is because theists live by way of a `biblical` god ... not a real one.

The biblical god has always been paltry, all-too-human, and a very minor player with regard to the real world.

Don't expect anything substantial from an inadequate narrative that tries to describe the `True and Living God`.

The bible, its imagery, and its god

remain nothing more than an interpretive misnomer ... and therein, nothing about it can be `held responsible`.

Not unlike jesus, the god of the bible and its contrived travails = Nothing ... nothing, at all.

God is not responsible to atheists for anything, after all, just because atheists hate God, He isn't obligated to change His ways to please sinners

No.

You do not understand that God is ultimate goodness and justice.

If God told a lie it would become the truth.

God can not do evil for it is impossible.

God gave mankind the ability to choose Him or choose evil.

Choose wisely.

If God is in control and life is all his plan, then of course he is responsible.

I personally don't believe Gods are in control or micro-manage lives.

They think he is exempt from being judged or responsible for anything simply because he's God.

God is in control, it does not mean, because God is in control, he a fool.

There is a time for everything, and trust me, God has everything lined up, according to his time and purpose.

Don't be fooled that God is complacent or lackadaisical.

Let me spell it out for your so you can remember and don't have to ask again
