The article doesn't say that Satan really created a star. It says :
"If the star had been an actual star it would have been as visible as a beacon to the public in general.But even King Herod had to ask them about the details of its appearance. The star guided the astrologers first to Jerusalem, to Herod. ....
Satan could make ...astrologers see a starlike object.."
It's just a typo. They meant to say that the star was from SANTA, not Satan. Obviously the star was Rudolf's nose which guided those nice men to bring Christmas presents to baby Jesus!
Awake: Modern-day baby food for babies.
The Holy Bible: Ancient baby food for babies.
What's the difference? About a few thousand years.
SANTA=SATAN
oh my god my Christmas is ruined
The writers have really shot themselves in the foot with this one, and with so many people watching them they can not back track and claim "we never said that". This one ranks up there with Jovah in the Pleiades. It only demonstrates what happens when you let people with uneducated ignorance of science and scripture write and claim to be experts in both.
First thing, even an average star, such as the sun, is huge when compared to the Earth. A being who can harness the power to create a star could create a million earths. The writer of this tripe just elevated Satan up higher than a myriad of angels or any other created beings and put him up there in Jesus territory. Can an organization which exalts Satan so highly rightfully claim to be God's organization?
Another thing, mentioned by Robert7, is that stars are some distance away. The nearer ones are far enough that light takes several years to get to Earth, and beyond those it takes decades. Most visible stars are decades or centuries of light years away. What this means is that if Satan created a star and made it go nova so that it would stand out as unusual, he had to have known decades, centuries, or even millenia ahead of time when Jesus would be born and what the implications of his birth. He would also have predictive knowledge of what humans would be doing abour Jesus' birth and how creating a star to be seen by them would further his own plans. The Watchtower elevates Satan even further in power with this claim.
So I ask again, can an organization which exalts Satan so highly rightfully claim to be God's organization?
How about dinosaurs, with sharp horns, fangs, canine teeth? How about the T. Rex? What a marvel of creative power!
The eternal unanswered JW dilemma. Dinosaurs should have been present in JW Paradise before man was created. And they were extremely violent. My wife's answer to this: "How do you know they ate meat? The scientists are so often wrong..." "Because of the humongous carnivorous teeth! You can see them at the museum." "They could have eaten grass too..." "Right, eating grass with those teeth, that's probably the explanation why they got extinct..."
Awake "logic", usually presented 3 or 4 times per issue, but probably doubled in that ridiculous December issue:
[After describing some marvel in the plant or animal kingdom] "What do you think? Was this marvelous feature designed by an intelligent creature, or did it just come about by blind unreasoning chance?"
Um, hello! Those aren't the only 2 choices....as any 8th grade level or above book on evolution would tell you.
Morons.
"Satan is amazing in his planning. Since stars are hundreds or thousands of light-years away, Satan would have have to moved the star thousands of years ago so the light would arrive to Earth in the exact timing with Jesus' birth. Amazing I tell ya."
Only flaw in your comment, Robert7, is that you haven't read the article - 'cause it focused on the point that it wasn't a star, since only the magicians could see it, so your physical-world-based comment doesn't quite fit ..............
Your comment, too, based on not having read, as it ain't no star it is talking about.
