How evil is Satan? Probably as infinitely evil as infinitely good God is.

No. Satan is not equivalent to God. Satan is only a created being. A powerful one, but a created being nonetheless. Nothing infinite about him, including his lifespan (he had a beginning, God didn't).

There is a section in Isaiah, in Chapter 14, verses 12-17 about Satan come to be.

With all due respect, I think you missed the whole point I was making. I never hinted anything about him being equivalent to God in terms or immortality, or divinity, etc. My point was he’s evil. Maybe as bad as God is good. But I agree with you on what you said. Thanks.

And all evil is a perversion in some way of the good. Evil is dependent upon good. Good does not need evil.
Satan is not God’s equal, not even close.
