But God did not create Satan.
God created Lucifer, and Lucifer utilized his Free Will to rebel against God. Due to his pride he desired to exalt himself above our very Creator.
"Sometimes you have to contemplate scripture and come to your own conclusions"
My friend, we have to be careful with this line of thinking, recall Proverbs 3:5-6 -
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
We ought to be leaning on the perfect wisdom that the Holy Spirit grants us, not on our own imperfect wisdom.
After all, remember Jeremiah 17:9-10 -
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”
When we rely on our own understanding instead of God's understanding, we become no better than the Synagogue of Satan who rely on the Babylonian Talmud, which has become their Holy Scripture, Man's Word above God's Word.
I understand what you are trying to say though, I do.
