So the cross is demonic?
never said that I don't believe in the Devil. I just said that the being talked about in the Book of Isaiah is not the devil, but a disgraced king.
The standard definition of Lucifer is the Day or Morning Star, and we can see that God says to allow the light of the "Lucifer" into your heart and Jesus refers to himself as Lucifer as well.
Lucifer =/= Satan/Devil.
1. Actually Satan was not called Lucifer in Heaven. What is your evidence of this? The Bible gives us very little information on Satan's rebellion and exile from Heaven. Plus Lucifer is used only one time, and that is in Isaiah. You have no proof of the use of this "changed label". Theologians throughout the centuries have argued about Satan and the idea of fallen angels. It's a tough discussion as we're going off a book that has been edited, revised, and (mis)translated many times over.
2. He was never referred to Lucifer in Heaven. If anything some have said, from Judaic writings, that his name would have been "Samael", although this is heavily debated.
3. If Satan has been the leader of civil governments, then the lineage of Christ were followers of Satan? Specifically talking about
So even though I'm worshiping and praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I'm somehow being tricked by Satan? How can you say you can define another man's relationship with the Almighty and know His relationship? Are you saying you know the mind of God? That's pretty bold and blasphemous.
Science and religion used to be one once, but the extremists on both sides have set in such a wedge. As I've heard it, science and religion are just two different languages telling the same story.
These are the end of days? Huh, I'm pretty sure the Savior said he'd return like a thief in the night. Too many Christians are obsessed with these being the end of days, it's like watching kids at Christmas time trying to be good for Santa. Just live righteously.

How can science be against God? IMO, a truly enlightened mind both is a mind for God.
I guess some may call me a bad Christian, but in some instances I cannot deny that some may have abilities that could be called supernatural. The Books of the Bible (to include those not included in the mainstream Bible) speak of miraculous acts and yet today we deny that they could occur anymore.
I can truly say that I have never been hypnotized.
There is plenty mysticism even in the Bible. You just have to look.

'Tyre' is not the origins of the word 'tyranny' or 'tyrant', the etmology is based in the Greek word 'τυραννία' which means 'master, lord, sovereign'.

Later this same greek word lead to the origin of the germanic God "Tyr" the "god of war" for the Nodic peoples. English decends from German (thus our days of the week are named for Nordic Gods), the English word Tyranny comes from the "rule" or "lordship" of the "god of war" Tyr, which came from Trye.

so you believe that Hiram, king of Tyre, was Satan, and he took a governmental position on Earth then became semi-subservient to two other Kings?
Wow, Satan isn't nearly as powerful as some might believe. A mortal king has to be born and will eventually die. I guess that is why God always wins huh.

Proto-Germanic and Proto-Greek developed seperately and both stem from Proto-Indo European. The root word from which 'Tyr' developed is the Proto-Indo European word '*dhyeu' which means 'god', this has nothing to do with 'tyranny' and nothing to do with Satan.

Wow, you must completely ignore Biblical verses:
Matthew 27:32 - And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Matthew 27:42 - He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Nowhere does the Bible ever say Lucifer is "angelic". The only time he is ever named is in the Book Isaiah and the verses preceding the use of Lucifer refer to him as a disgraced Babylonian King. You take a lot of irrational and illogical liberty with interpreting the Bible.
There is no mention anywhere in the Bible that says Lucifer was ever an angel in heaven. There is also no mention of a previous name he held while in Heaven in the Christian Bible. Now there are some who pull from Jewish lore who say Satan could have been the angel Samael.
You revealed nothing but that which has already been argued against and constantly repeated.
As to my question of Christ coming from corrupt lineage through your own quotes, you dodged and didn't answer.
I have committed no blasphemies and my Judgement will come from Him who awaits us all in the afterlife, and not by you.
I have a fairly decent grasp of the eschatology of Christianity. He may reveal information to prophets, but not every idiot who claims to be a messenger of God is true. There are far too many wolfs in sheeps clothing who think they can terrorize the mind of the masses to suit their needs. I will not be scared by some man into submission. My obedience is to my Lord and God.
I have eyes to see, but too many fanatical Christians have lenses of paranoia and fear obscuring their vision

this may be off topic but--Hiram of Tyre, is he not AKA Hiram Abiff, the Master Mason that designed and led the building of King Solomons Temple? The same Hiram that the three ruffians ritualisticly killed in the story? This is probably where satan comes into mind.....

I disagree with the research you are using to formulate that opinion. My research has led to a different conclusion.
