"If saints and devils and Jesus are not gods, who are they???"

You have no understanding of Christianity at all, do you? Study up on it a bit and then ask questions. Where did you hear that saints and devils were God? I am not particularly religious, and don't regularly go to church, but I am sure the Jesus is the son of God. Looked upon by Christians with equal weight though, I beleive.

I will take them in order in a brief manner, much much more could be said:

1. Saints: Let us say I am talking on the phone with my brother. When I get ready to hang up, I very well might say something like..."tell Linda(his wife)that Connie(my wife) says howdy, and say hi to the kids for us." Paul does very much the same thing at the conclusion of his letter to the church at Philippi.

(Phil 4:21-22) Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send greetings. All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.

and such is the rest of Pauls writings makes it clear that a saint is any believer in Jesus, a member of Christ's church.

2. Satan and/or devils-demons: The Old Testament does not spend too much time with this, but it does talk of the fallen angel, Lucifer, and he was a created being.(Isaiah 14)...and of course in Job, he is seen...higher than a human, but not a god, the devils are also spoken of as fallen angels(2Peter 2:4, Jude 6)

3. Jesus---Son of God with God from the beginning, part of the Godhead.(Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:18-19). Crucified-raised from the dead conquering death for us.
