and he lies about everything. He tempts us everyday, to try to get us away from God.
OK, so if that is the case then, again, based on the things Christian religion teaches us, isnt it entirely possible that Satan disguised himself as jesus and lied to everyone back then and everything the religious people do today is the exact opposite of what God had intended in the beginning. Satan, very well may have called himself Jesus, performed "miracles" (he has some kind of heavenly/hell power, right?), and did all the things that are attributed to Jesus in Bible. Can anyone prove that this is not the correct interpretation of the stories in the Bible?

Whos to say that these "demons" were from hell? In my situation, it seems, that the demons would be God trying to keep Satan from spreading his lies.

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.

How many times do we have to see a question like this?
Here is a verse for you:
1 Corinthians 2:14
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Because if Jesus was really satan (notice the lowercase) then how could he do things in the name of God and how can he say that he is the son of god when satan really thinks that he is god.

Because Jesus did things in Gods name. Satan cannot do that. Dont forget, Jesus was accused of casting out demons in Satans name. he made the point that to do that, it would be a self-defeating purpose.

The religious leaders of the day accused Jesus to his face of the very thing you are accusing him.
Not believing Jesus is the only ticket to hell.
Calling Jesus a liar is your choice. He claimed to be God.

the old testiment fortell Jesus' coming and he proved his is God by what he did and sead I think far more likely mohammed was deceaved by satan who had been an angel and could apear as such.
the oher point is Christians should know Jesus in a persoanal way and then we can have know doubt I know him as my saviour he is God and loves us all.

there wouldn't be much point for Satan to fulfill the prophesies set out by God to save mankind from Satan.
Good question

you are real close, except the Jesus documented in the bible is the real one. the fake WILL appear next looking like Jesus and calling himself the son of God. Luckily there will be one distinguishing feature that will help people discover that he is the fake.

I don't remember being tempted to believe in Jesus. And why would you quote the Bible, then say that you don't believe what it says?
