Answer 1

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’s 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.

Jesus is not God. He is the Son of God. John 10:36. He taught his followers that his Father, Jehovah, is the only true God. John 17:3. He instructed his followers to pray to his Father at Matt. 6:9. Jesus also said at Luke 4:8 that all worship was to be directed to "Jehovah your God, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."

If we are not doing things God's way, we are making Satan happy. If we pray to Jesus, our prayers will fall on deaf ears because Jesus said our prayers should go to his Father through him. If it is done any other way, we might as well be praying to Satan.

Answer 3

I believe Jesus is God because he fulfilled many specific prophecies of the Messiah. Did you know Daniel prophesied the exact day of Jesus arrival? The evidence is too compelling to ignore it. Jesus often spoke mysteries because he understood that conversion was a transformation of the heart before there was a renewing of the mind. I don't know about the Catholics that are supposedly praying to Mary and saints, but anyone who calls on Jesus is speaking to God.

Answer 4

Christians pray to God......Prayers are to be directed only to the Father in heaven through the name of Jesus.Only Jesus forgives sins.And no Jesus is not God. Jesus is God's son. God gave all authority in heaven and earth to Jesus only. That authority is enabled in the all authoritative words of Jesus. And His Words will be the basis and standard of judgment on the last day.It is at repentance and baptism one loses his sins by the blood of Jesus, not through prayer.

Answer 5

No, Christians are not praying to Satan. We believe Jesus IS God.

Answer 6

Friend you can probably find many web sites that are either talking against Christians, or for Christians, But this is a very simple question, True Christians Prays to One God, which is the Creator of all things, We pray to this One True God, Through the blood of Jesus Christ or we can say through what Jesus Christ attontment of his shedding of blood did for us. Many that says or use the word Christian in the life or belief, are not really True Christians, Jesus Christ brought only one plan of salvation, not 2 or 3 or thousands Of beliefs, But only One. And when he died, he left it to the Apostles to carry it on, & the Apostles in Acts Chapter 2 were all in ONE accord, & not 2 or more accords, But only One. So True Christians prays to God though Jesus Christ

Answer 7

that site had a historical lie,I saw it at first glance. the apostles went to the death claiming Jesus as God. the earliest document found by these men claim the same.

He prays to his father, the ancient of days. He is the Lord, or Jehova (YHVH) of the OT. I believe the documents that are dated to be from year 70-120 AD about Christ. Not documents from 600-700 AD

Answer 8

Islam is just another one of Satan's disguises that tries to destroy the truth of Jesus Christ! If you do not come to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior who died for your sins, you will continue to be deceived by many false prophets who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. Satan has deceived the whole world! You can easily be deceived also without the light of the truth, Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

Satan, god and your allah [link] are all imaginary. Nobody ever anywhere ever has seen or spoken for real with any gods or allah's for the very simple reason those things are imaginary. Many have commited terrible crimes believing those things are true, time to get rid of superstition.

Answer 10

I don't think Christians would agree to that statement. Even if they did it would be pointless, as Satan, as the Anti-Christ, was only invented by the Roman Church in the Middle Ages, and doesn't exist outside the mind of the believers, if any.
