Hey Shapsjo, thank you for getting what I asked.

I guess this is meant to be a provocative question?
Jesus believing in himself would have made him a violator of Judaic Law at the time of his life,but not necessarily a Satanist. Basically, the Gospel is just too much of an allegory, as is the old testament, to analyst from the point of view of what were the characters like as people. It is perhaps better to look at Christ, Moses, Abraham, and the others as character types whose stories help to tell us lessons about life.

Jesus believed and claimed to be God the Son and equal to God.
That being said, he didn't 'believe in himself' in an egotistical way, but always in a deferential way towards God the Father, in total submission to the Father's will.
Not a Satanist, but if Jesus was not telling the truth, then he would have been a confused schizophrenic, like a person claiming to be an alien from outer space.

No it does not. he believed in himself, he believed in his father, he believed in the holy spirit, and he believed in the goodness of the human soul. A Satanist would have to believe in the himself being the all powerful control freak.
ever heard of the adage: east is east and west is west, and never the twain can meet??? well the same goes for the beliefs of Jesus and the Satan.

Aren’t we forgetting a big point? Every religious Icon practiced the religion of his own culture!
Buddha was a very well learned Hindu and not an atheist!
Jesus practiced Judaism.
Jesus himself said that he did not come to abolish Judaism. The only people who believe that Jesus came to abolish Judaism – are people who misinterpret the words of Jesus!
When Jesus worshiped God, or his Father in Heaven, he was praying to exactly the same God as that of the Jews. If you want to follow the example of Jesus, then pray like he taught you, not like how anybody else says you should!
I personally don’t see Satan as the real enemy of Jesus. I see Satan more as the dark side of the subconscious – for us – and for Jesus too.
Light needs darkness to be seen; Eve needed the serpent to teach her the earthly, forbidden wisdom; and Jesus needed Satan to show him the temptations of worldly glory, so that he could resist them and grow in stature.

Jesus was tempted by Satan and was able to resist. Jesus is the Son of God. Satan is a fallen angel. The only one who could be a Satanist by believing in himself is Satan himself.

Everyone should believe in themselves, and satan doesn't exist except in the minds of fools.

satan basically means slanderer devil means opposer, satan was thus called because he not only slandered God in the garden of eden but opposed him, Jesus on the other hand did neither but maintained perfect integrity to his heavenly father
