I dare try to answer with LOGIC!!!

Q. If God wanted us to be sinless y did he sent an imperfect being( satan) to earth b4 humans were placed in the Earth??
- In retrospect, why did God send Jesus, a perfect being, also to Earth?
Q. Why innocent kids were killed when Jesus was born what sin did they do??
- Since when is it a requirement to have to sin to die? Jesus never sinned, yet died.
Q. Why Jesus was called THE SON OF MAN while He was the Son of God??
- Man is used in this term as all of mankind, Jesus was, in-fact human and therefore a "Son of Man" as he was still born in the same manner of fashion as us.
Q. If we r to love our enemies what attitude should we have against Satan???
- One must wonder if Satan is really our enemy here, or ourselves. Satan hasn't forced anyone to do anything they didn't want. He only supplied the means/temptation. Any sin we do is of our own freewill.

I have to agree with you when you say is satan our enemy or ourselves, there are so many other religions out there
that are all about finding salvation within ourselves, because inner peace is the way to enlightenment! Well I think that
this is what satan is doing trying to pull us away from God. By looking into ourselves, depending on only ourselves,
and trying to find happiness, well this is impossible without God.

Satan was a God's right hand man at one time, until he=satan, DESIRED to be more POWERFUL than God himself. He was cast out of Heaven. Kind of headed in the same direction as "You shall have no other Gods' before me" you cannot desire to be more powerful than God himself.
Q. Why innocent kids were killed when Jesus was born what sin did they do??
Goes about the prophecy of Israel and Iran, Middle East, Etc being at war for eternity. Each side not believing in the others' religion, and causing more havoc than worth.
Herod, a non-believer or an atheist himself was a King, and had more power than most men did, had all the newborn children executed because it was impossible for him to figure out which son was Jesus..

Most parts of the New Testament is derived from ways people tried to kill Jesus, or put fault in him, or make fun of him, or bring him down, or bringing his disciples down (How many disciples died, or were imprisoned for their involvement with Jesus?)

If the prince of peace came to your world, the king of kings, and claimed to be God's son, wouldn't you try and kill him? Us Christians, we wouldn't necessarily want to do that, but someone of the anti-christian assembly would probably try their hardest, to do that. Make sense?
Q. Why Jesus was called THE SON OF MAN while He was the Son of God??

Q. If we r to love our enemies what attitude should we have against Satan???
Well before attempting to send out a powerful question to batter up some cake we have to find out what Satan is.
Heaven's fallen angel; changed because he wanted to have power like God or have more power than God. Imagine that, that's not actually all that difficult to imagine. He just wanted power, he wanted to rule, he wanted strength. There's countless numbers of people who searched for power and ruler-ship.
We should have sympathy for the devil, he cannot help what he has become. I think that if God wanted him out of existence he would have put him there. He brought Satan to his people for the soul purpose to change a man between good and evil, but why would he do that - does he play games with us?

1. he wanted us to freely worship him not be forced because we were sinless
2. there is sin in the world-- i can explain through an analogy if you want
3. He was the Son of man- mary; and Son of God- God
4. We should hate Satan; I believe Christ is talking about humans who are all sinners.

1. He wanted us to choose to worship Him, not be forced to.
2. When one sins, many suffer
3. He is the Son of Man because He was tempted as we are (yet without sin).
4. Satan is not human, and therefore should not be loved; It's like saying, if we hate witchcraft and profess Christianity, what attitude should we have towards it lol?
