Subject: How do you substantiate your answere? |
Bible Note: Part 2 of 3 It is evident from the preponderance of supporting Scripture that Jesus is God and, as God, Omniscient; but there are still those who do not want to accept the Truth and refuse to obey Scripture. They even have the tenacity to cite a few passages that, on the surface, seem to support their fallacy, while, simultaneously, they reject all Scripture that disproves their arguments! You asked me for substantiated Scripture, I offered it (Genesis 1:1-31)! Yet, you refuse to accept the Scripture’s passage that clearly states that God Created everything and “He saw it was good!” You go off on a tangent and characterize darkness as evil and, though not Scripturally stated, you affirm that that is its true nature… who’s kidding who? “However, I find your reply to be riddled with opinions concerning the traditional origin of Satan which is a contestable subject and nowhere scripturally verifyable. Please read more on the subject before you definitively attribute such authority to Isaiah Chapter 14.” You refuse to accept Scripture because it does not spell out (ad verbum) Lucifer is Satan: Isaiah 14:12-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 "How you have (1) fallen from heaven, O (2) star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will (3) ascend to heaven; I will (4) raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; (5) I will make myself like the Most High.” Show cross-references Is 34:4; Luke 10:18; Rev 8:10; 9:1 2 Pet 1:19; Rev 2:28; 22:16 Ezek 28:2 Dan 5:22, 23; 8:10; 2 Thess 2:4 Is 47:8; 2 Thess 2:4 Isaiah 14:12-14 Amplified Bible (AMP) Isaiah 14 12How have you fallen from heaven, O (1) light-bringer and daystar, son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the nations (O blasphemous, satanic king of Babylon!) 13And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north. 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. Footnotes The Hebrew for this expression--"light-bringer" or "shining one"--is translated "Lucifer" in The Latin Vulgate, and is thus translated in the King James Version. But because of the association of that name with Satan, it is not now used in this and other translations. Some students feel that the application of the name Lucifer to Satan, in spite of the long and confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. The application of the name to Satan has existed since the third century A.D., and is based on the supposition that Luke 10:18 is an explanation of Isa. 14:12, which many authorities believe is not true. "Lucifer," the light-bringer, is the Latin equivalent of the Greek word "Phosphoros," which is used as a title of Christ in II Pet. 1:19 and corresponds to the name "radiant and brilliant Morning Star" in Rev. 22:16, a name Jesus called Himself. This passage here in Isa. 14:13 clearly applies to the king of Babylon. Isaiah 14:12-14 King James Version (KJV) Isaiah 14 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. |
