except Satan was originally an agent of god, was he not? I’ve read the story changed many times with different translations and iterations of Christianity.
I grew up thinking the story was, Lucifer genuinely rebelled and was beaten and “became” Satan, sorta like anakin an ddarth Vader. Pretty sure in some iterations, this progression becomes muddled and Satan is arguably a different entity or the same entity, but in service to god. The tempting angel. You see this is the story of Job, which if I recall is the guy who Satan and god place a bet on to see if he will renounce god after his son Is sacrificed.
Really it would make sense for god to comprise both good and evil. It’s all in the text; man is created in the likeness of god, ergo both god and man are capable of true evil and true “good.” Satan, meanwhile, is traditionally purely evil, with his rebellious nature framed as fighting against oppression of the
LORD
; in reality, Satan is a narcissistic and greedy, malevolent entity, whose intent is to force mankind toward self destruction. There is no noble, beneficial motivation at play; Abrahamic god is the better of the two.
Stop.
