CG, I said the description of the "King of Tyre" is taken to be a description of lucifer. Biblical scholars are not all agreed on the identity of the King of Tyre. Many see this as either a dierct reference to Lucifer or a comparison of the King (or Prince) of Tyre to Lucifer.

In any case I was pointing out to our friend the passages usually given as reference for the point he cited. The Douai is one interpretation of the text, but hardly the only possible interpretation. It is not an easy passage to interpret.

However, the Bible does claim that Lucifer was the most beautiful of your God's creations.

<> Sir F's assertion remains unproven. The description relates to the pride of the K.O.T. not the "beauty" of Lucifer.

Now, it may be the case that you and the atheist think Lucifer is the most beautiful of God's creation. I don't. But it is the case that it has yet to be sourced in the Bible. <>
