The same is true of Jesus.

*nods*

To a degree, yes. But it's not Christ or His words changing, it's how people choose to perceive Him.

[Gim]

Well, that's what Christians think. They believe Satan supported the existence of Santa Claus to divert attention away from the celebration of Jesus Christ, hence Santa sounding similar to Satan.

...I don't think that is the reason, and no, not even the majority of Christians think that the character of Santa is actually Satan.

So, you don't think Satan is controlling the minds of humans to make Santa the main figure in Christmas? Satan does anything to be against Jesus Christ, who is God. Santa is not Satan himself, but his prominence can clearly be attributed to Satan.

[Salus Maior]

This thread in a nutshell:

And that is judging, which God does not support.

Define "judging".

If you read the Bible, you'll see that God does not support it.

Unless I've misplaced my tinfoil hat somewhere no, I don't believe that nor does anyone I know.

[Jochistan]

Let it Go. It's okay.

I have. I guess that's the mature approach. To not deal with these kids. I won't stoop down to their level and use mockery as an argument.

It just hurts me (and makes me teary-eyed) seeing people who mock Jesus.

Ooohh, you have no Idea...
But yeah, it happens, it's fine. We need to realize that all of us are not entitled to anything/any more special than others. And in the end, just letting it slide or even laughing it off is the mature thing to do.

It's all good.

Support what? Define what Judging is.

So, you're basically saying Satan is not against Jesus Christ? Okay. I don't know what your denomination is, but I...can't even find a word for this.

What the fuck?

What kind of Christians do you live with?

I'm not saying I think that is true. I'm saying that is what I hear. I'm still hesitant about this, because people I know think this is true, yet my mind says the opposite.

not even my Pentecostal relatives believe stuff like that.

You know, I wish Saint Nicholas could join this thread right now...

Which version ? The one accompanied by black slaves, the one accompanied by reindeer and elves or the one accompanied by sexdemons ?

Blame my pastor in a small church I used to go to.

What the hell?!

No, nobody here in this thread actually believes that. I mean, we got the resident Messianic Jew who believes Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy are bullshit because they adopted pagan traditions, but no.

Because I don't believe that Santa is Satan, that means I don't think Satan is against Christ?

More like the actual version of Saint Nicholas:

There's many ways to interpret Satan...

In Job, for instance, he isn't seen as an adversary of God but an adversary against humanity; kind of like a prosecutor who is telling God that we're evil and we don't deserve any mercy.

I live in the Netherlands. The Black Petes have been kind of a hot and controversial topic for the past few years

And we were talking about the actual Saint Nicholas. The heretic-punching one

And also the patron saint of whores, drunkards and the country of Greece ?

I'm pretty sure God used Satan to test Job, thereby making him a righteous person. Just because God and Satan talked together doesn't mean they're friends.

Well, someone's gotta be

P.S Happy 10000th post.
