we must always remember that everything made by the almighty was pure prefection , and that includes the devil.before lucifer was cast out of heaven , god said to him ,"thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that tho wast created" (ezekiel 28:12). paul later wrote ," by him were all things created , that are in heaven, and that are in earth , visible and invisble , whether they be thrones or dominations , or principalities , or power : all things were created by him " (colossians 1:16)

No the devil like god was created by men. They both exist in people minds not in the real world. That soom becomes obvious when you examine these things with an open mind

I personally dont rely on bibles but i look god in my environment and for me God created everything but he didnt create any devil so devils is not existing!
Dont rely too much on bibles because its misleading what is real thing.

I think the devil was an experiment by God,that has gone wrong.Or some imperfection in his angel's circuitry.God is perfect,but not everything created by him is perfect.If that was the case,we would have been goo and kind.But we are not,we still have room for evil in our mind.

If you accept that God is the creator of all things, then you have to accept that He also created the Devil (whatever that might be). He didn't, however, create the concept and understanding that we have of Him. Many people have a very imperfect and often completely erroneous idea of what 'divinity' means ... and that includes people's understanding of exactly what the Bible is.

Yes its true the devil was created by God. As you qouted in Ez.28:12. In verse 13 tells how he looked and in 14 tells his original position. But just like everyone else he was also given a free will. He made himself the devil by allowing a wrong desire to develop. James 1:13-15. He was cast out of the heavens and following him were other angels that became demons. John 12:31; 1Pe.5:8; Job 2:2; Rev.12:12.

I think God created the potential for evil. Look at us. If you believe God created mankind then he definitely created the potential for us to choose evil. I believe the devil was created with the potential to be evil and he chose that path. If God did not create being with the power to choose we would all just be automatons of a sort. Interesting discussion. Don't know if I have time to real dig into this deeply. Will check back.
