“”In fact, it always worked as God willed.””

Do you believe that God “willed” there to be a devil,demons and all evil?

Take your time to think about this.

I am off on business til sunday, so don’t expect a response from me.

I will pray for you to be honest with yourself!

Well, if it's a trap then you've got me. It takes me no time at all to answer that of course He did. The existence of evil, the devil, and demons etc. was obviously part of God's plan according to scripture. (God did not say "Oh NO!" in shock when these things happened.) And since God ordains everything in His plan, He obviously willed these as well. None of this makes God the author of evil though. This was covered in the recent discussion of the WCF.
