Mr. Winston, could you please forward my letter also?  I've always wanted
to ask him some questions if I ever got the chance.  Thank you very much.

Satan,  I have been quite curious about you and have always wished that
some of my questions about you could be answered.  Now that I have the
opportunity, here it goes.  You were once known as Lucifer, the light
bearer, a great guardian cherub, perfect in beauty, clothed with every
precious stone.  I could just imagine you reflecting God's glory.  My
question is why did you rebel against God?  Why did your heart become
proud on account of your beauty which God gave you in the first place?
You had an eternal paradise within the presence of God, why did you
throw it away?  I've always pondered that.

At the time of your rebellion, you made the proclamation that you would
be like God and your throne would ascend to heaven.  You took 1/3 of
the angels in your rebellion.  However, you were cast out, falling from
heaven like lightning, you and your angels.  When you saw what had 
happened, did you not realize that you did wrong?  Was there no place
in your heart to admit your sin and repent in hopes that God might be
merciful?  Look at the redeemed.  They, too, have been guilty of rebellion.
Yet they admitted there wrong and humbly repented.  Why couldn't you
do the same thing?  I know, I know, you hate the redeemed.  But I thought
I would still ask.

You have continued do to such horrible things.  Why?  You know that
us humans have a tendacy to become proud and corrupt and evil.  Yet
you have continued to tempt leaders and people in power to use their
power for evil.  You have wispered to, suggested to, and convinced men of
power to lust for more and more.  This has led to many a war resulting
in death and famine.  Your suggestions seem to work so often as seen
by the scandals, the thefts, the murders, and various other destructions.

But the curious thing is that you don't stop with the big guys.  You
seem to go after the average human: the poor guy who started out
with casual drugs is now in the gutter looking for his next fix.
And oh the many marriages that have been destroyed.  And yes, my heart
moans when I think of the innocent women who have been raped.
What about the gangs whom you have wispered you messages of hate to?
These young lads, some of whom are killed and maimed.  I could go
on and on.  What is it that pleases you about such stuff?

I know, it goes back to that God thing, doesn't it?  Maybe you're
just trying to get even with Him by trying to destroy humans who
are created in His image.

You know ever since you convinced that first family to disobey God,
we humans have sure made a mess of things.  We have continued to be
selfish and prideful in so much.  We have followed in your footsteps
in going our own way and turning away from God.  And you would think
that God would just let us go.  But He sent the Savior.  I might think
that perhaps you would have said  "fine, God's trying to win back 
these rebels, I'll just stay out of it".  But no. When the Savior was
born, you tried to kill him.  Although you failed, in the process
you killed every male child in that vicinity of Bethlehem.  How could
you do such a thing?

And when you saw that you had failed, why didn't you just let things
be?  Instead you tried a different tactic.  O how you tried to talk Jesus
out of His mission, tempting Him in every way those 40 days in the
desert.  You must have known what it would mean if His mission suceeded.
When you failed to detour Him, you then stirred up hatred of Him, much
of which still continues to this day.  Hatred not only from normal
people, but even from the religious rulers.  And when that failed,
you did such a cruel thing by convincing one of His closest friends,
Judas Iscariot, to betray Him.  And thus leading to His death.  But
didn't you realize that God was playing you right into His hands?
The very thing you were trying to prevent actually happened.  Your
last attempt in the garden of Gethsemane also failed.  How amazing
was Jesus' resistance to givng in, even to the point of sweating
blood!  Then He was crucified, The Ultimate Eternal Atonement was
made.

What was your reaction when on the third day He rose from the dead?
It seemed like from that point on nothing could stop the people
from returning to God.  First it was 120, next it was 3000 and now
throughout the centuries multitudes and multitudes have been returning,
more than could be counted.  I know, I know you don't like to be
reminded of these things.  Please listen just a little longer as
I inquire.

About this lake of fire destination, I would be curious how you
respond to this.  Have you not realized that evil must eventually
cease?  Don't you realize what lies before you?  What about love?
Is love really that bad of a thing?  Is feeding the hungry and
taking care of the sick really something you should oppose?  And
what about these followers of Jesus?  Do you really hate them as
much as it is written.  It would seem so by the way many have
responded.  Why is telling people of His love and redemption perceived
as such a bad thing?  Why do you so vehemently oppose people receiving
the free gift of eternal life by God's mercy?  Is it because you are
jealous and want to take as many with you as you can?  

I must admit you've done quite a bit in recent years.  Up to the mid 
twentieth century, prayer and Bible reading were always apart of
school.  Yet somehow you have managed to get these things out of school.
And how you are convincing people to replace Christ with an X in 
Christmas and also call it by other names like winter holidays I don't
know.  You have even convinced our country that it is morally wrong
to display the 10 Commandments in a public place while at the same time
convincing us that pornographic art is acceptable.  Quite interesting.
Oh yea, remember how you talked Adam and Eve into thinking they could
be like God in the same way you did in the rebellion?  Well I hear you're
really pushing that one again these days.  Well that's all I have for
now.  Perhaps I can write again.  I must honestly say I hope we don't
cross paths.  Oh, I'm sorry, I know how that word bothers you: "cross".
I know it was pretty humiliating, but please realize for many of us,
it is our salvation.  

John
