First of all JimTL1000R, God is refered to in the male gender. "Himself" and "He" is not a thing. Read 1Corinthians 4:9-10. The Apostol Paul writes (by devine guidance), "For I think that God has set forth us the Apostles last, as it were appointed to death for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to Angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we are despised.
My study bible translates this to mean that God-called men and women are like gladiators in the aena, appointed to die; exhibited as a spectacle in a theatre to the world of men and to Angles. Continuing to be spectacle;
(telling the Corinthians and all others) that if you truly walk close to Christ, they will meet with the same contempt and hatred men showed to Christ; all believers are weak, at least as far as the flesh is concerned; these Corinthians were busy telling everyone just how strong they were in the Lord; The more popular the Church is, the further away from God it is. True believers are despised!
Also if you read Colossians 1:14-16 you will see that Jesus created both Angels and Demons, both Holy and fallen Angels. (I myself missed the mark on understanding this one until I got deeper in my walk and began to STUDY THE WORD!!!) This is a bible study lesson for the both of you with love in Christ Jesus Amen!
god isn't always refered to in the male gender, the fact that you state that shows the lack of knowledge you have of the bible and it's interpretation in to english. I know this is a response to a comment made 8 months ago, but i can't stand stupidity ascerted as fact and knowledge.

God is perfect. God did NOT create the devil. The devil became the devil when Lucifer rebelled against God and took 1/3rd of the spirits with him.

That's actually based on traditions. The '1/3' of angels rebelling isn't mentioned in the bible. It is mentioned in Paradise Lost by John Milton.
It's a terrific book, but it's not scripture.

God created the devil. God does allot of things to keep itself entertained.
