Yes, he was created good but also had the ability to choose right from wrong. He was the most beautiful of God's creatures, but vanity and pride brought him down.
Isaiah 14:12-1412How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Ezekiel 28:11-15Satan is presented as the King of Tyrus:11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
AnswerI agree with you, though I want to add something. Lucifer, the annointed cherub, was believed to be as powerful as an arch angel. He wanted to dethrone God and was thrown to earth to torment man (though not ordered too). I believe that Satan, the fallen name of Lucifer, used his angelic history to his advantage in the Garden of Eden to deceived Eve, and later, Adam. See related questions about Evil on left..AnswerWell, it depends. Logically speaking, the Devil is the good guy and God's... Well, honestly, kind of a dick. An omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent deity creates an imperfect soul. He literally had to invent jealousy, and all the events it would create he was fully aware of it, and yet he still punishes the devil and humanity. So... Yeah. If you actually pay attention to The Bible, Christians have had it wrong for centuries.
Whether Satan is evil depends on which religion you follow. Christianity teaches that he is evil. However, Judaism teaches that Satan is the loyal assistant to God, with the special task of testing the faith of the righteous. Interestingly, the gospel passage in which Satan tests Jesus (Mark 1:13, Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:2-8) would suit the Jewish Satan perfectly.
Answer:
According to Jesus Christ, Satan is "the father... the progenitor of evil." He even went so far as to tell one group of Jews who "believed on Him" that they were "his children" shortly before they tried to kill Him.
"...If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Even because ye cannot hear My Word. Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. And because I tell you the Truth, ye believe Me not." (John 8:42-45)
According to Jesus... Satan sired evil.
AnswerAccording to traditional Christian lore, Satan was originally an angel named Lucifer who decided to rebel against God after he got tired of the way God was running things. God then cast him out of Heaven to Hell, where he rules over the evil souls of human beings. Simply put, Satan doesn't agree with God or His rules, but that does not mean he is totally evil.I beleive that Satan is a good guy not to offend anyone but that's what I beleive. Many people think he is evil,good, or nothing.

Where did Satan get his powers from if God never gave it to Satan?
In Isaiah 45:7 it says that God created evil. But it doesn't say that God does evil in anywhere I looked . God could create evil things but it doesn't say that God makes you do evil. It's like God created the choices to do good or to do evil . It does say that God makes you do evil things. But you can say I'm looking for it. You could say that God created the powers of evil that Satan choose to use but God never forced Satan to use those evil powers.
