I didn't say pride isn't evil.
I said it earlier. Pride originated from Lucifer, now Satan. He wasn't created with it, he wasn't created with sin. He was made blameless, but he became proud because of his beauty, he wanted to rule. He wanted God's position.
Sin, or evil started as a result of Satan's pride. This pride originated from his thoughts, it came from within Him. God cannot be in the prescence of sin, so he had to cast him out into his own realm, where he could be king.

Longstride:


isn't our pride and other evil tendencies from the devil?
The question is, where did the devil's original pride and evil come from, who tempted him to sin?... Except you wanna say we were created with pride, and other negative traits.

Good...so how is "heaven" free from this choice of evil or isn't it free?

Sibrah:
Those in heaven(beings) are still in line so qualify to be in heaven. Thought they have a choice. The case of humans who av bneen through earth is diff. They are locked to KIngdom 'network'.
Our being on earth is a tramsaction place where we have tje choice to buy 'into' the narrow and or wide path.

Weselion:
It was not an evil spirit, it was pride. When God Creates a living thing, he allows them make choices. Angels knew how powerful God was and know the consequence of not worshiping him, the Devil wanted to face the consequence. Even human beings have a choice, its either you worship God or the Devil but there are bad consequences when you worship the devil.

Pr0ton:


If Satan was created blameless and pure, but yet sinned... Then God "should take heed lest He falls"

grandstar:
Jehovah wants angels and man us to serve him out of love and as robots. (Deut 30:18-19). Evil thoughts come from within us and if we keep dwelling on it is what brings sin(Matt 12:34) (James 1 :13-15). Visit jw.org for more bible based answers.

- He wasn't just a devoted angel, he was very very powerful. As a matter of fact, he was an Archangel, the most powerful of the three that God created.
He was a magnificent being , with more intellect, wisdom, ability and beauty than the other angelic beings, was awesome to behold. No wonder God named him Lucifer which means 'Day Star' or 'Son of The Morning'.
To cut the long story short, it got to a point that he became discontent with his position, even as the angel of worship/music director in heaven, and prominence and wanted to overthrow God. His downfall began because Pride entered his heart, and because of his power, he got some angels on his side, one third of all the angels, this then led to a war between lucifer and his men, and the other archangel/angels.
He was defeated, and together with the fallen angels, was banished from Heaven and God changed his name to Satan/Devil meaning 'adversary', and these fallen angels are known today as Demons... And so on.

The spirit that polluted Satan, came from Satan himself, it entered him- from him that moment he allowed Pride take over him. Hence the origin of sin originated from the creation, not the creator. Never.
Although Satan, or Lucifer was not created evil, he originated His own sin which which was pride and rebellion against God.
The same sin Adam commited. Rebellion- deliberately disobeying God's intsruction- The first or original sin- on Earth...

emmyrichie:
According to the tale, until a certain point, the devil (Lucifer) was a devoted angel.

My question is, where did the spirit that polluted the creature (Satan) emanate from?
