And aside from the fact that the passage in Isaiah which has no name ‘Lucifer’ refers to a Babylonian king, not the devil,
At Bible study one time some one mentioned lucifer as being the devil, i told them that i was confused about that because God seemed to still be talking to the king, i was pretty unpopular after that, every one jumped on to me like ugly on an ape.
The point is, why did God call the king lucifer? and just what was he calling him? was he calling him evil which would be the same as the devil, or just a nick name?
This king wanted to be the most high and so did satan but that does not absolutly make lucifer the same as satan.
I just don,t know.
And that reminds me
I was listening to Vernon Mcgee years ago and heard him read a scripture from the old testament, he read it again, and then again, then he cleared his throat and said, I beg your pardon folks,( i don,t know what that means )
Mr, Mcgee was well known, not only in this country but in most of the world as a man of God yet he is the only preacher i have ever heard to admit there was something he did not know.
Then i think of people who have just barely gotten into the scriptures who will not admit there is anything they don,t know.
At one point in my life, as a traveling rep for a pharmaceutical company, I had several radio stations programmed into my company car radio that I could listen to Through The Bible Radio on. I can still hear Doctor McGee’s voice as I read certain passages of scripture! Don’t you know folks out in LA must have thought his accent ‘charming’.
