Verse 8 says that the devil sinneth from the beginning, God created Satan as a beautiful angel, so the question I have is, who gave Satan the mind to sin?

Dear Marie, Satan chose to do evil which leads to more evil and spirital death if not repented of as confirmed in Scripture. But if our Abba Father knew what Satan would do why did He Create him? God does not want Puppets He gave us all including Satan freedom to choose to Love and obey Him or to seek our own way without Him, yes we reap what we sow unless we repent and seek not to do evil.

Satan's mind was bent toward being like God. He therefore tried to create a reality that was all about him. That's what sin is, an invention. Romans 1:28-32, specifically verse 30 Anyone that worships anything besides God is sin and idolatry. Hope this helps.

Angels were created by God and given free choice to sin or not, Hebrews 2:7 we are created by God just a little lower than the angels and also have been given free choice to sin or not.

Very True Seventh Day and how wonderful that Jesus has set us free from the Slavery of Sin so we can work out our Salvation not meaning work for it of course and putting our Carnal Flesh to death by The Spirit Romans 8 and then being Perfected in God's Love we don't Sin because we have His seed, 1John 3:9 the Old has gone the New has come. Christian Love and Blessings in Christ Jesus.
