I gotta jump in here.
Just because you went to Sunday school doesn't mean you are a Bible Scholar. Christ is indeed foretold all through The Bible. In Genesis the part about the seed of the woman bruising the head of the serpent is indeed ... the Gospel. Cliff's notes version, yeah ... but it is there.
Satan is the highest created being in all creation. He was the very angel of light. God and the angels live outside of time. They do not exist in a limited linear way like we do. Satan knew that a human man would be born that would save the world. He may have known, not being a puny mortal like us, that a death and resurrection might be involved.
He counterfeited Mary and Christ several times BEFORE those two individuals came into time. You seem to believe it impossible to counterfeit a thing before it exists. Not for immortals unhindered by linear space and time.
Because Protestants study the Bible and do not depend on a priesthood that has never wanted the laity to know the Bible we find these things out. You should try it.
Can we absolutely PROVE that Isis, Ishtar, Isi, Cybele, Aphrodite and Venus were Satan's creation? No but studying the OT regarding all the times the Jews were lead astray by these 'Queens of Heaven' and the terrible consequences that followed .... It looks pretty solid to me.
Jesus wasn't kidding when he told Peter that Satan was as a roaring lion. Prowling in secret to devour those who love God. He's real and he's been at it for thousands of years. False religion looks to be one of his fave tricks.

Jump away.......I said that I was done and I am. I didn't even read your reply.
I'm not being rude; I'm just finished with this. Okay?
And I never claimed to be THE expert of experts as so many here do outright, or imply.
