: What are you talking about? Jesus didn't refer to
: Himself as Lucifer. He refered to Himself as the
: bright and morning star in that verse. What are
: you trying to do to peoples faith?
Douglas: Forgive me. I thought surely the reader would have applied the communative property. Heylel=lucifer=morning star. Jesus said, "I am the bright Morning Star." (Rev 22:16) Was he referring to another Morning Star? As for people's faith -- faith in God drives one to a pursuit of truth discovered through reason. Those who reject any syllogism out of hand do not seek the truth of God. Those who cannot stand the light of truth are forever destined to remain chained to the bottom of the cave. "Do not follow the crowd in wrong doing." (Exodus 23:2) Take stock of your own position. Accept nothing -- question everything.
