Hi John,
John says, "I would never ask a question like what was God's logic behind the creation of a being like Satan. I am just dust. How can dust question the logic of God? I am arrogant, but not that arrogant. Sounds like one of those questions a 15 year old would ask. Like, can God create someone greater than Himself? If He cannot, then He cannot do everything. It is a misuse of the rules of language."
You are right I would never question God's logic behind the creation of a being like Satan - that would be insane and grossly disrespectful of our Creator. But that was not the question! The question had to do with trying to graspe the ORIGIN of Satan's evil. I asked this question twice to be plain. Not to question anything thing to do with God's LOGIC. I was questioning any human logic, John and I was not trying to be offencive.

O.K. Johnny, I accept that you were not trying to be offensive.
If your question is the origin of Satan's evil, that is easy to answer.
God. God is the source of every thing that is. He is the Almighty God and Creator. God created Satan. God created evil. All comes from God.
Also, God is the Savior and Healer of everyone. Which includes Satan. Satan will become a source of good. No one can resist God. Every knee will bow to Jesus.

Job 26:13
By His Spirit He hath garnished the heavens, His hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Ray,,, God garnished the heavens by His spirit because they are a thing of great glory,
beauty and splendor, but the crooked serpent,,God formed by His hand ,,,,at arms length
thus indicating it was something necessary but not of His heart and spirit.
John I don’t agree that the word jealous in Gen.6:7 is the same jealous in Exodus 20:5
My understanding of Exodus 20:5 is a commandment.
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I , the Lord you God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those
who hate me.
Jealous,,,protective,defencive,vigilant,watchful,heedfull,mindful, careful,attentive, solicitous.
Gen,6:7... The ESV says “ for I am sorry that I have made them.
The YLT says “ for I am repentive
The two scriptures Gen.6:7 and Exo.20.5 of jealous God being the same jealous just doesn’t fit for me.
If anyone sees differently please correct me.

Johnny,
It was just a short while ago I was confused about God and evil, until Dave and others helped me understand the difference between evil and sin. Now I see God can and does do evil, if not there would be no chastising in our lives. I don't even want to think about a life without God's correction.
We can't put God into neat little compartments, limiting him to fit our idea of what he would or could not do. We know from scripture that he created evil as a necessary componet to his plan, and without it his whole plan would fall apart. He possesses the knowledge of evil and it's at his disposal to use as he sees fit.
I believe, like in creation, he was directly involved with the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah and many other events as well. I don't believe it is Satan that rapes children either. I see him more as the enticer , as he was in the Garden of Eden.
Dave is right, we understand less than we think we do. God proves that to me everyday.

Pamela - a different translation.
Genesis 6:6 (KJV)
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Repent -
Pronounce: naw-kham'
Strong: H5162
Orig: a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself):--comfort (self), ease (one's self), repent(-er,-ing, self).
