The Bible makes it clear that one kingdom has nothing to do with the other but are opposed to one another (2 Cor. 6:14-15). Therefore, Satan is an adversary to God.
In Genesis 3 Satan outright attacks God's character. He does the same in Job 1. In Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 we find him BLASPHEMING God. These two are not friends nor is Satan some unwilling servant of God. They are enemies, though Satan is a DEFEATED enemy:
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil (Hebrews 2:14)
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15)
Not sure how anyone can read these and limit Satan's adversarial role to mankind alone.
