Did God create Satan good?

Did God create S1 good?

I think so.

Ez 28:

11 The word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

The king of Tyre referred to S1 as well.

“You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared.

God created S1 as a wise and beautiful angel.

14 You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you.

God created S1 blameless but he rebelled later.

Another symbolic/allegorical reference of S1 was in Is 14:

12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!

symbolized S1

How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.

S1 wanted to dethrone God. S1's mentality changed. He became proud, too proud.

In the OT, S1 was often referred to as 'the satan' (הַשָּׂטָן).

In the NT, he was known as Satan and the devil.

Jesus spoke to the antagonistic Pharisees in John 8:

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

From the beginning of Adam and Eve, S1 was a liar. However, when God first created S1, he was good. His evil nature emerged after his creation, not as part of the original creation.
