Did God create Satan? Could God erase Satan if He wanted all evil gone from this world?

All things are under the control of the Creator. That's GOOD NEWS. That means Satan can tempt us, but he can never hurt us because Christ has told us He has overcome the world and the prince of this world. Satan has no power over the believer because we have the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who will guide and protect us.

The "deceived and the deceiver are His."

Yep, once again. All sin is at God’s door.

All God or All Man is the Calvinist dichotomy. You made your bed, you have to lie in it.

Here’s Calvinist logic on the issue:

Man sins.

If God did not want sin and did not want man to sin, sin would not exist and man would not sin.

Therefore God wants sin and wants man to sin.
