Why Did God Create Lucifer?

"Lucifer", was the devil's good name, but he lost it, when evil was found in him, so I never refer to him in that term. It is mentioned only one time in scripture.

When God made him he was a good angel, but he went bad.

Angels are flaming, ministering spirits. (Heb 1:7) Their job is to hearken, "... unto the voice of His [God's] word". (Ps 103:20-21) Within that venue, they are ministers, who do God's pleasure, and they minister "for them who shall be heirs of salvation." (Heb 2:14) These seem to be the only jobs they are authorized to do. They were never given the legal right of free choice, as man was given.

So, some of them took it anyway, illegally?

You are exactly right, Timmy. They made choices illegally. That might explain why, so far, God has not revealed any plan of salvation for fallen angels.

In the deepest abyss of hell, there is a place called "Tartaroo", where God has cast those angels, which sinned. (II Peter 2:4) Those that kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation. (Jude :6). They being held captive there, by everlasting chains under darkness, until judgment.

Kinda sounds like Puff, the magic dragon, might be down there.

And since it was legal for man to choose evil, God gave him a plan of salvation.
