Quote (Stu @ May 23 2008,02:24)jblWhy don't you ask your god if he gives you permission?StuartStu,I remember a class in church long ago where we talked about “knowing the will of God”. There was a big emphasis on the opinion of other Christians. That's a big clue IMHO.

I'm not sure where you are going with this. At first you seemed to be relating Lucifer to Satan, and now I'm not sure what you are saying. In any case, there is absolutely no reason — beyond needing to see it in there — to view Isa 14:12 as “satan” or the “devil”. The first person to even relate Isa 14:12 as being “satan” was Origen, well after…[Read more]

Yes, I've encountered the above before. And it supports what I am saying: Lucifer, as an actual entity, is mythological and borrowed from other mythologies, both Greek and Canaanite.Did you know that El, Elyon, and Shahar were members if the Canaanite pantheon? The Israelites, prior to the Moses story, were polytheistic. Shahar was the god of…[Read more]

Henotheism – Belief in one god without denying the existence of others.No pantheon needed .
