Bible Question:
I remember being at this ladies house whom I was becoming friends with and we were having a topic about religion and different things. Well, the topic of Satan came up and when speaking about him I used his name Lucifer. She flipped out on me and said that she knows now that I'm not from God and a demon is speaking through me because I used or spoke the word Lucifer and told me I would have to leave if I ever used it again. When I was talking in a very cristian manner. I rely felt hurt and VERY offended. Her telling me that I'm some devil in her house especially when I feel so close to God and spend most of my day with him. I couldn't believe she said that to me. Especially, since this lady really had nothing to do with God. Other than the occasional "I know everything" talks on religon. Where did that come from? Is there any truth to what she said? (Not that I believe what she said) but it frightened me and has bugged me since. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Eascusa, The name "Lucifer" comes from the KJV rendering of Isaiah 14:12 which, along with Isaiah 14:9-15 and Ezekiel 28:11-19, is interpreted by many to be at the very least a 'dual reference' to Satan, and how he fell from grace. So, you were correct when you mentioned Lucifer as a reference to Satan, especially if you use the KJV. Blessings to you, Makarios |
