Halloween, celebrating Satan's birthday?

[tumbleweed41]

Satan did not have a birthday. Originally created as Lucifer, he dates back to the beginning of time. Angels don't have birthdays because they were never born.

As a troll, you succeed in causing annoyance.

Lucifer is the Latin Vulgate translation of the description of a Babylonian King in Isaiah.
The word is not used anywhere in the Bible as a name for Satan.

Halloween is terrific, in theory. I just hate dressing up. But the candy, parties, ghosts, devil worship and pure evil are all good fun.

Pete's comments on atheists make him appear more and more every day like exactly what he's rejecting here.

Alas, I was away for Halloween this year, but even in the airport, some dressed up for the day. I went for subtlety....my Mambo
(a wicked Australian company) shirt with evil green grinning pinnaples on it. I hope that all had a perfectly revolting Halloween!

Btw, some costume suggestions.....I bet:
Tomato1236 would make a killer tomato.
Meow Mix & Katzpur would both be felinacious Cat Women.
Smoke would be a wrathful wraith.
Wirey....wherever he is....could dress up & act like a normal person.
Midnite Pete could go as the revolting one....to slither a mile in my shoes.
Tumbleweed would be....what else?...a tumbleweed!

your ignorance of Christianity is rather interesting given its extremity.

Classic case of of transference.

Lucifer is a title and means "morning star".
Jesus also once carried the title of Lucifer for a time.
Satan merely means "adversary".

Interesting how neither one of the titles is ever used as a name in the Bible...

I wasn't like this when I first joined RF. It's been rubbing off on me. It's a slow poisoning.

 

[LittleSidhe]

Halloween is as much "satan's birthday"
as christmas is "jesus birthday".

*yawns*

*giggle* She has a point.

 

[Katzpur]

Huh? Could you explain?

LOL! Well, how can you be sure that it's a title and not a name? I mean, there's a certain amount of overlap.

Revelation 22:16

What overlap?
I mean other than like with Jesus and people thinking that his last name is Christ?

Revelation 22:16

You mean this one?

ego Iesus misi angelum meum testificari vobis haec in ecclesiis ego sum radix et genus David stella splendida et matutina

'Cause the word "Lucifer" is nowhere to be seen.

Hey, you said that Jesus bore the title of Lucifer for a time, and when an explanation was asked for, you cited a verse.

And seeing as the word "lucifer" does not occur in that verse, it is not an example of Jesus bearing that name.

If you want a verse where it's at least implies Jesus being called Lucifer, here you go:

et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem cui bene facitis adtendentes quasi lucernae lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies inlucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris

Translation: (NAST)
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

2 Peter 1:19

 

[EtuMalku]

Isaiah 14:12 -- (King James and related versions)
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning?

(Hebrew Bible)
"O Morning-Star, son of the dawn!"

The King James Version is based on the Vulgate, the Latin translation of Jerome. Jerome translated the Hebrew helel (bright or brilliant one) as "Lucifer," which was a reasonable Latin equivalent.

Then we have Jesus: Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
