I have a problem with creating the person which God knew would betray Christ ... Who do you think created Lucifer?

Lucifer was an angel and tempted others, I fully understand free will, but Judas was condemned from before his conception. I have a problem with creating someone who, from his conception, was condemned to hell.

You apparently don’t understand free will. Lucifer, Judas, Adam and Eve and the Blessed Mother all had free will.

If you have a problem with God, you should find another religion with its own god.

God is omniscient, right? He knows everything that will happen.

Yet He created Lucifer. He created Lucifer even though He knew what he'd become, what he'd do to mankind, and where he'd end up.

Judas condemned himself. He was NOT created to betray Christ--he was created for something much better if he would make that decision. And he still could have saved himself afterwards if he would have had the same spiritual regret that Peter did after his betrayal.

God created all things through Christ--that includes all the evil things.
