Did God Create the Devil? Download The Bible’s answer The Bible shows that God did not create the Devil. Instead, He created the person who became the Devil. Regarding God, the Bible says: “ Perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.” (Deuteronomy 32:3-5) From that statement, we can conclude that Satan the Devil was at one time perfect and righteous, namely, one of God’s angelic sons. At John 8:44, Jesus said that the Devil “ did not stand fast in the truth,” implying that Satan had at one time been truthful and guiltless. However, like the rest of Jehovah’s intelligent creatures, the angel who became Satan had the freedom to choose between right and wrong. By choosing a course in opposition to God and inciting the first human couple to join him, he made himself Satan, which means “Resister.”—Genesis 3:1-5; Revelation 12:9.

Je li Bog stvorio Sotonu? Preuzmi Što kaže Biblija: Biblija otkriva da Bog nije stvorio Sotonu. On je stvorio anđela koji je sam odlučio postati Sotona. Mojsijevoj 32:3-5 za Boga se kaže: “ Djelo mu je savršeno, jer su svi putevi njegovi pravda. Bog je on vjeran, bez nepravde, pravedan je i istinoljubiv.” Na temelju tih riječi možemo zaključiti da je Sotona nekada bio savršen i pravedan, jedan od Božjih anđela. Isus je rekao da Sotona Đavo “ nije ostao postojan u istini”. I ta izjava pokazuje da je Sotona nekad bio istinoljubiv i bez mane (Ivan 8:44). Poput drugih Jehovinih razumom obdarenih stvorenja, i taj je anđeo imao slobodnu volju te je mogao sam odlučiti hoće li činiti dobro ili zlo. Kad se suprotstavio Bogu i naveo prve ljude da stanu na njegovu stranu, postao je Sotona. Taj naziv dolazi od hebrejske riječi koja znači “protivnik” (1. Mojsijeva 3:1-5; Otkrivenje 12:9).
