“Try actually reading the gospel account before saying something as moronic as their being “agents of Satan.”

Sorry if the Gospel account conflicts with your Hallmark cards and petty insults don’t change it.

Better count your change; you're still coming up short. Did you bother to read the Gospel account I supplied you? It didn't come from Hallmark cards (now that's a petty insult). According to the Gospel account, the wise men both worshipped Jesus and obeyed God. Doesn't sound like an agent of Satan. So they went to the capital of Israel. That's reasonable. So they asked the king (according to Scripture God's chosen civil authority). That's reasonable also. They acted upon the limited information they had to get to where they had to ask more specific directions. Again, nothing unreasonable, nefarious, or evil about that. Furthermore, do you really think Satan would need some out of country folks coming from a far distance asking directions to discover out what all the chief scribes and priests already in Jerusalem already knew?

Of course, you could be saying something as simple as, "Well, Satan used their questioning as a way to try to knock off Jesus." For the reason given above, that's doubtful. This would be on the level of saying, "A bank robber asked a little old blue-haired woman how to get to First National Bank. He then went there and robbed it. The little old blue-haired woman was an accomplice or agent of the bank robber."

You have to say it like the Church Lady, “agents of SSSSSsssssatan.” There, that is better.

What is the punishment for libel against God’s friends? The Three Wise Men are most certainly among the elect. “Saved” as it were.

May Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar find humor in your insult. Maybe you should ask the baby Jesus about the veracity of the story, when the visit occurred, and who they were? WWBJD Of course His Church has handed down the “rest of the story” that is introduced in the Gospel of Matthew.
