In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

what nonsense.
>>"The Hebrew Name of the Real Messiah is YAHSHUA which means Yahweh's Salvation in the Hebrew Language."<<
what makes you think that? its simply absurd, and makes utterly no sense.
maybe you worship Satan because your decieved, but I'm not, MY god is powerful enough to give me awareness over that.

Very good point here. True Christians must always pray to the Father in the name of Jesus.

And so?
All you need is to ask Jesus to be ur savior, all the other is bonus lvls to be richer in heaven. Jesus can be called whatever u want to call him cause that is his earthly name, so any name u want to call him as long as u realize u are talking to the Son of God, u straight.

In the Bible, Satan is referred to as "prince of the air" and "ruler of this world." Satan is not ever referred to as a deity that should be worshipped...his desire for worship is the root cause of his rebellion.
Your second point is needs documentation, not propaganda...

I pray to one God only and that is God the Almighty and His son Jesus Christ. satan is not a god at all, he is evil and should be banished forever. God and His Son are the only ones to pray to.
