While some of this is true, your account isnāt entirely accurate. Whatever beliefs you have are fine, but the biblical/Christian account also should be told accurately if it is being quoted. There could be mistakes here because Iām not perfect, but Iāll try to give a more accurate description from a ābiblical perspectiveā.
Satan wasnāt defective. He was the leader of the angels and choose to rebel. He had free choice as the general of the angels. Other angels donāt have free will (that is true). By the way, he reveled because he wanted to rule heaven with god. He commanded something like 1/3 of the angels, so he wanted half and equal rights to god. When god refused, he led his angels in revolt.
Fun fact, demons and angels are the same creatures! They look the same and have the same powers. The only difference is the mast set they serve. There are also twice as many angels as demons since they donāt reproduce. However, humans are an entirely different creature.
This gets more and more complicated the deeper you go, so Iāll stick with basics. God created humans for companionship. he gave them free choice from the start. They are not descendants from anything else but god. We also were made in gods image. People ask what god looks like a lot. He looks like a human. We were made to be like him. By the way, humans are spirts in Christian beliefs. Think of it like a spirit that is living in a body. The spirit is what never dies and such. The body is the Vessel your spirit exists on earth in.
So whatās with the apple and the tree? Mankind isnāt perfect, that is a difference we have with god. Eden was perfect, and god gave it to Adam and Eve. When eve ate the apple (with Adam, they both did it), she let some into the perfect world. God canāt coexist with sin, so he couldnāt live on earth with them anymore. Basically, Eve gave the world to Satan when she ate the apple. Things like decay and death started at this point. She could do this because god gave ownership of the world to Adam and Eve. Everything in the Bible is gods plan to reverse this and reestablish his relationship with humanity.
Again, this is my take on Christian beliefs as a Christian. You can disagree if you want.
Some fun facts people miss about Christian beliefs:
God creates everything in order from least impressive to most impressive. The last thing, and thus greatest thing, he created is Woman (not man).
Man and Woman were made for a different purpose, but they are supposed to work together. In fact, man has half of the positive traits of god while woman has the other half. A couple that is a man and woman are most like god when they work together well. This was intentional design. You could describe it like this, a man and a woman working together in harmony have powers at gods level. By themselves they are operating at half capacity at best (the Bible claims that they get something like 10,000 times more powerful together).
God gave man authority over the world and everything in it. In other words, all humans are greater then anything else in existence here. We have the right, from god, to rule over everything else. That comes with responsibilities to care for it too... looking up olden rules for leadership/kings makes that clear.
Satan didnāt give humans free will. They always had it. Without free will, you canāt defy god. This was intended so that humans could choose to love god. Alternatively, some have to choose not to to prove that we really have a choice. God designed it this way on purpose. This is why Christians should never be āpushyā about their views. God says he will be the one to call people to him. Christians are just supposed to make people aware of the gospel, or the story of Jesus, so that everyone knows they have a choice.
