How could God create Satan?

According to Christian tradition, He did not. Satan was originally Lucifer, a good angel. In fact the name Lucifer means "light-bearer". Lucifer was at one time, God's right hand man. However, through his own pride and envy, Lucifer rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. The rebel angels who joined (1/3 of the host) was also thrown out.

Lucifer fell by his own evil will. I would seem Satan and the angels also had the choice of choosing God or not. They chose not, and was cast out of God's presence.

Today, humans are faced with the same choice, via their own freewill. They can choose God or not. If not, they too will be cast away from God.

However, there is good news. Unlike the angels, we have a redeemer, who is Christ Jesus. He paid a high price, that we can choose Him, and stay with God.

Christmas was a pagan holiday, right?

Critics of Christianity sometimes point out that December 25 was originally a pagan holiday, which the Christians adopted as Jesus birtday. It's absolutely true. However, this was deliberate. The first Christians had to show the pagan world that the true God had come to earth and was conquering the old pagan gods and demons. One way to show this was to build churches on the sites of pagan temples. Another way was to "baptize" pagan holidays, making them celebrations of Christ.

The Christian message was "Move over, false gods, the Son of God has come and is taking over."


Now in the 20th century, we see a similar move as the pendulum swings again. This is why it's important to anti-christians to remove remnants of Christianity from our country. The demons and false gods are continuing to battle for supremacy.
