It seems as if God willfully accepted Satan's challenge, because he obviously foreknew the events that would later occur.
The struggle between good and evil makeS God look like either a fool, or a willful challenger to game...
He created his own nemesis, Who grew to have more influence over his own subjects/humans than himself. And he seems unable or unwilling to undo this evil - but has to fight a war against it.
I see no other way to look at this than that God willfully accepted Satan's challenge
This is just philosophica reasonings - questions of 'what ifs' - supposing this all happened as believed..
Thoughts?

mormonism believes that there has to be opposition in all things, otherwise our time on earth would be too easy. there needs to be that test. even if god didnt mean for lucifer to be evil, he needed someone to be.. they were his sons, lucifer and jesus, and he needed them to help him decide how to rule the world. lucifer wanted to force everyone to be right so that 100% of the people would be guaranteed to come back, but jesus thought that was wrong and thought we should have free agency (which we somehow willingly give up when we are in a religion).
It's just like the garden of eden, someone needed to eat that apple eventually. if they didnt adam and eve could never have children and they would be immortal.. so eventually they needed to sin, it was part of the plan, and they took the fall for it, sometimes i think its unfair.. but there are many things we dont understand and you just have to get over it
3rd of the angels sided with lucifer on the choice, lucifer lost as the other two thirds went on jesus side. and lucifer was really pissed off. now they are hells angels
