And....yes, you are correct. Sometimes I have had meaningful discussions with you, even though I'm sure you find me still ignorant in matters of truth. I appreciate you continuing to chat with me despite my presumed ignorance.
cd: Ignorance in our language isn't a bad word or a put down-it means that one simple doesn't know certain topics or facts. I am ignorant about many areas of Mormon religion such as what is Pay-lay ale? Yet I understand that to be the brother of Christ-Satan isn't viewed in your religion to be such a bad guy.So to you doing a chant invoking his name isn't the worst one can do.
DAVEH: So why do you make assumptions about something you do not know about, Dean? Your ignorance may cause you to draw incorrect conclusions.
cd: So where am I wrong Dave? Help me overcome my ignorance as we try to do you.
But for the matter of our discussion Lucifer is not another name of Satan
DAVEH: Do you not consider Lucifer and Satan to be one in the same entity???
cd: No and if you follow mine and Kevin's debate you will see why.
-this is a mistake in the meaning of the translation.In the ancient Greek the word was "Day Star" and refereed to the Babylon Prince Belshazzar ( I think that was his name) and was comparing men to stars and Belshazzar was the most powerful man as Venus was the brightest morning star hence to name Lucifer-which by the way the only time this name is used in the bible (Isaiah 14:12) .In a d eeper search The word actually means "Howl"The NASB is mo re correct here then the KJV.
