does satan really has a 'purpose' in such a straight-forward way that doesn't make it sound blasphemous/a bit polytheist ? i'm not an expert on christianity, not a christian more than having cultural fragments of christianity, but from what i know it feels like since satan and mankind basically both disobeyed and disappointed god, they're both in a similar position in a way (not on every aspect since satan is a fallen angel and we're like 'just' human). we human are supposed to redeem ourselves from our sins and live like saints. saying satan 'educates' people like god places satan on par with god, that really doesn't sound really christian kek.

He doesn't educate with the same depth as God does, but his primary function is this, make a person commit small fails, t if the person seeks god the person come back to the correct path by a tortuous way, and with practical knowledge on why the right is right and the wrong is wrong.
The Satan secondary function is to punish, make the negative reinforcement of that process, and if the person continues straightforwardly commiting wrongdoings, make sure that the capital punishment be applied.
Gods educates you by defining things, and if you gladly accepts that definitions good is good and bad is bad, you don't need interference of the satanic wrenchman's processes.
'Nobody can speak and have it happen unless the Lord commands it. Both bad and good things come by the command of the Most High God. No one should complain when he is punished for his sins. Let us examine and see what we have done and then return to the Lord.
— Lamentations 3:37-40'

Other religions have this very concept, of watchdogs/hellhounds that will punish the breakers of dharma/form/order.
e.g. Yama and Mahakala.
