FWIW.

Can God exist without Satan?

I think the answer is yes.

Which begs the question.

Can Satan exist without God?

I believe that answer is NO.

This is something that I had been wrestling with for a number of years. That, and Free-will.

Resolving the Free-Will question, since there are innumerable ways I can and likely have messed up God’s plan for me, I’m left to sort out my own desires. Left to myself to either spin along with no foundations for belief in anything at all or acknowledge the existence of Satan.

“The Devil’s greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

I can’t square the math here.

The fact that “Objective morality” is a solid truth claim. The or our ability to even know this and use logic as we understand it to make sense of the world allowed me to come to Christ as my Lord and Savior in a process of elimination.

FWIW.

Free will in action:>[? "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil: and he will fly from you.
Draw nigh to God: and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded: (Jas. 4:7-8 DRB).
