But it sounds like you say that God created him to do the evil that He cannot do...

It sounds like God could not do evil but wanted to, so He created middlemen who could manage this for him.


Satan was pure and holy but fell through his free will and now is God's enemy and tries to thward His plans. And He does oppose the plans of the saints, though this is only by God's allowance.

I prefer to speak of God's allowance of Satan's and Adam's sins.


There are dangers in the Supralapersian scheme, but perhaps this is for another thread...
