Question:This question has always and forever puzzled me. If the Lord God almighty is Good why did he 1) create the devil knowing what he would do, and then 2) reward his insolence with Earth and trying to corrupt us who are his children?

God was and is the Almighty. God didn't create the great Archangel, and he was the preferred of God. But then the Archangel wanted equal power than God. God was Higher and didn't let him have the equal power. He got jealous and angry at God, so he sent him in Hell for ever. God is good, fair and never reward that angel. He gave him have the permission to roam on earth. The reason for this was to have people resist him. But so many fail all the time, we all do, due to our weakness, our blindness...And no matter how much we try, we always sin due to following the easy way "Evil" rather than resist and only do good. As long as we sincerely repent for them, God bless us and always takes us back, because we are his children.
He said :Think how much you father on earth loves you, well I love you so much more than him!"
I hope it clarifies this.

Never made much sense to me either! Personally I think that God and the Devil are in it together. I mean think about it, you do bad things and then the Devil punishes you for them... wouldn't he reward you for them?

I think the Devil's punishment is to play jailer to the evils of the world

because it was something some one made up and it makes a great story

The devil didn't evolve into this being of ultimate evil until later, when pious people began to think, hey, there must be a force of evil that is contridictory to god, prior to this, and I believe still maintain in the Jewish religion, he was 'an accuser' in the court that is of God's, judging Job is an example.

Fantasy stories tend to evolve over time as children become more sophisticated. Eventually the game is up when you realize there no way out of the circular arguments.

the answer is simple. its all just a poorly written, contradictory fable that has been spread through tyranny and bloodshed. but even the worst writer knows that a story cant be told without a conflict. thus the creation of the boogeyman, Lucifer.

Well I'm an atheist but I know the story of Lucifer.
Apparently the Devil was God's greatest, most beautiful and most powerful creation. He under god originally but eventually began to see himself as equal to God and began to challenge him, the devil eventually became an enemy of God and that's basically it. The two questions were used as either arguments against God.
