I'm an odd ball...while I unfortunately grew up in a traditional Christian environment full of unbiblical teachings, my parents, who I love dearly, always taught me what the bible clearly says about the adversary...that he was created by God as he is today, not as an angel and that he was created to do God's bidding...he was a tool and nothing more. Of course somehow everyone in the churches I attended believed that he was an angel from some out of context passage to make it fit their view. I think they just can't handle the thought that God who is righteous, would make something that was not, yet He did. Nothing at all would exist if it weren't created by the Father! That teaching (among many other things) always baffled me. Blessings... Interesting post!
