Devil vs. Jesus instead of Satan vs. God
The Gospel said Satan attempted to make Christ Jesus betray God in wilderness:
Matthew 4:1-11King James Version (KJV)It is strange that if Christ Jesus was God, how would the devil try to tempt Him? Even the devil called Christ Jesus the Son of God. And, Christ Jesus answered: "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Or were Christ Jesus and the devil so stupid that they could not tell the difference between God and the Son of God?
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Indeed, 300 years later after the establishment of the Gospels, the Vatican and a Roman emperor decided that Christ Jesus was God but also the Son of God. It meant that God was pretending that He is His Son while the devil accepted the self-dramatization of God. So, the devil was a collaborator with God. Otherwise, the devil would say: "You are God, Jesus! Don't pretend that you are a son of yourself!"
However, we may support Vatican's creed that Christ Jesus is God. Satan must have the ability to tell the difference between God and the Son of God. But, more than Satan's ability, God could conceal His nature before Satan. We may think that God successfully pretended that He was His Son and Jesus before Satan. God also successfully hid His nature before followers of Himself as Jesus as depicted in the Gospels. But did God allow the Vatican and a Roman emperor, in the fourth century, to find and proclaim that Christ Jesus was the Son of God and God Himself at the same time?
If God did not allow them, even in the case that Christ Jesus was God Himself, the act of the Vatican and a Roman emperor of deciding to call Christ Jesus God was a big blasphemy.
If God had wanted to appear as His son before human beings, the Vatican should have respected the intention of God. If Christ Jesus had been really the Son of God, the Vatican commited a great sin.
So, the truth must be:
Satan saw the success of Christianity. The Roman Empire adopted Christianity for its state religion. So, Satan decided to make the Vatican commit a great sin. Satan put a crazy idea into the brains of Vatican leaders that Christ Jesus was God Himself, so that calling Christ Jesus God would show great respect for God and Christ Jesus. The Vatican leaders thought that it was better to serve God than a simple son of God. So, they began proudly to call Christ Jesus God. Sana's plot succeeded. The Vatican started to oppress or expel those who could not accept the creed that Christ Jesus was God. However, God interfered with the human history by giving Islam to people living east of the regions occupied by the Roman Empire. So, the Koran strongly opposes the idea that Christ Jesus was God.
However today, nobody seriously discusses whether or not Christ Jesus is God. Christians and Muslims, in addition to Judaists, of today show no interest on whether or not Christ Jesus is God.
Does anybody believe any scientific theory presented 1600 years ago? It is time to review the Christian theory presented 1600 years ago with support from a Roman emperor.
Do you believe that Christ Jesus is God as Vatican leaders and a Roman emperor determined 1600 years ago? Or do you think it is pious that we call Christ Jesus God even if He were God while God concealed His identity in Christ Jesus 2000 years ago for some unknown holy reason?

Mar 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mar 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
