FD, your cut and paste job about the origin of Satan is in the ballpark.

Except you did it without actually reading the context in Isaiah and Ezekiel. The vss. concerning "lucifer" were actually written about historical kings threatening Israel at that time and are in no way "fables".

The depth of the sacred Scriptures is such that passages are often later seen to have more than one
layer of meaning, meanings that may not have been apparent to their original writer, such as Psalm 22 and its Messianic prophecies.

I scanned your post, and, as usual, it was packed with errors.

Just one.

Jesus didn't expel Satan from heaven, Michael did, as clearly seen in Revelation 12. It can be read in a few minutes.


I say this not to engage someone like FD in another debate, who is grossly misinformed, but to give a brief defense for the Bible and the Good News.


JAPOV, forget Hal Lindsay, do some study and don't engage trolls like FD until you can put up a better fight. Just some friendly advice.


So... How am I doing?
