The devil was not "made." The Scriptural account is that the devil was originally created by God as one of His many good angels. A rebellion against God amongst the angels occurred - the leader of whom is the devil. The good angel was indeed made by God, but the devil (as he now is) was not made by God.
He meant that even the devil could not defeat the heaven of God.
The devil was once one of God's angels. The angels were meant to serve God. When God created humans he created them to become friends with him. The devil became jealous that God would have a closer relationship with humans than with the angels and decided to rebel against God, thus giving us all the actions that we get from evil.
The devil has no limitations if you do not give him any. The only free will god gave man was the will between good and evil. We will our mind and our emotions to be what we want to be. If we choose to serve god we know that all that god created was good. The devil choose to do evil over good.
Witchcraft is always the work of the devil.
The serpent in the mythological creation story of the Bible is not the devil. That is only Christian supposition, especially since the creation story is not meant to be taken as true.
This means that if you do good, God is watching, and no harm will come to you.
Nowhere. How would the devil protect God when God created the devil? (Ezekiel 28)
In Genesis 50:20, Joseph tells his brothers that what they meant for evil, God meant for good.

"Evil" is generically the opposite of "good", and is a label applied to something morally or ethically wrong. A more specific definition is the capacity to deliberately inflict harm or injury to another. Synonyms in this instance are malicious or wicked.A "devil" is an evil or malicious spirit or demon. Capitalized, the "Devil" is synonymous with Satan, the personification of evil and the antagonist to God in Christian and other religions.
If the first part of the statement is correct then so is the latter part. If you accept that both god and the devil exist.
