Santa - satan coincidence ?

Question

Word splipped my tongue but changing the letters from santa to satan is 'they' say from its origins of name, check up yourselves lol.
However is it a coincidence as long names abreviated could be made into a variety of ends.

Thus, is celebrating (worshiping) santa actually celebrating satan on Jesus's birthday ?

yes yes, i learnt this whe i was about 4 years old too and im well educated in catholicism and others thanks.

I will try to explain a little further..... as the 'churches' we know now have not always been good (witch hunts etc, torture), during those times, how much of the Bible was edited (as most people then couldnt read) leading to the changes we have today ie santa ?!

Answer 1

My son is only 11, but he thinks that Santa is evil because he tries to take the focus off of Jesus and onto himself. This was his own thinking, not impossed on him by us, his parents. I think we could learn a lot from a child.

Answer 2

'Santa Claus' is derived from 'Sinter Klaus,' and the change was 100% marketing! The modern name and image of Santa is courtesy of a Coca-Cola marketing campaign from the early 1930s. Also, careful review of the circumstances around Christ's birth actually point to it being in the spring near lambing time, or fall close to harvest / slaughter (think shepherds, lambs in the manger, etc.)
As far as biblical editing? Happens all the time - the bible could be 3 times longer if all the gospels were included. It's also gone through alot of language translations, and many of the gospels were also written long after Jesus died. Always keep in mind, the bible is a book of metaphors written by men, and interpreted by men.
Last thing - the bible and Santa are mutually exclusive, anyhow.

Answer 3

I had the same thought, since christmas was originally a pagan holiday, then changed it to christian holiday, but maybe the pagans still wanted to worship satan, so they made an anagram for him so they would know the real reason for celebrating christmas

Answer 4

SAINT nicholas was perverted into Santa (somehow). So it's really more about how saint and satan are similar to each-other. Other than that, it's just a coincidence (though not a particuarly unlikely one)

Answer 5

Yes, a lovely coicidence. Lovely because xmas was designed to redirect a pagan celebration into the new religion, and because today's christians who don't understand pagan religion think that pagans worshipped satan, which of course they didn't. So it's a cute slap in the face.

Answer 6

All holidays have roots with pagan belief. The only occasion that Jesus instructed us to celebrate was the Memorial of his death. Celebrating any other holiday would be against bible teaching and against God's Will.

Answer 7

the favored North American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of Dutch Sinterklaas, which in turn is a shriveled form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas). besides the undeniable fact that, the Dutch Sinterklaas isn't comparable to Santa Claus in many techniques: see the area on Dutch folklore. The Dutch observe for Santa Claus is Kerstman ("Christmas guy"). Santa Claus has a healthful it is presented in many colours reckoning on the rustic. the main uncomplicated depiction (crimson with white sleeves, collar, and belt) grew to grow to be the greater known photograph interior the USA interior the mid-to-late c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b9th century.[a million] till now, in a land it is now stated as Turkey, there grew to become right into a bishop named Nicholas. Nicholas lived interior the fourth century A.D. He grew to become into very wealthy and beneficiant, and he enjoyed to make babies satisfied. oftentimes, he might provide presents to very undesirable babies -- at times with the help of throwing them into their abode windows! i don't think of this grew to become into meant to kill God.

Answer 8

Yes

Santa is for 'saint', I think in Spanish. Santa is the embodiment of St. Nicholas, patron Saint of Children

Satan means "adversery", although the embodiment of Satan, Lucifer, is supposedly an ex-saint, a 'fallen angel'.

Answer 9

You are 100% correct, when lucifer was thrown out of heaven he told God he will be worshipped just like Jesus, Santa claus is one of his ways santa does mean satan, everyone always waits for santa claus to bring present and they praise him when he does, just like we christians wait upon Jesus. there are songs to praise santa and songs to praise the Lord, this is one of the ways satan robs, steel and destroy.So you are right.

Answer 10

you're thinking too much! As a life long Christian who landed up in a sect, I grew up listening to the kind of thing you're saying. Do yourself a favour. Don't go there!
Thinking too much, navel gazing, concentrating on the "meanings" of things just distorts the overall picture.
