Maybe. The Islamic alchemical traditions identified alchemist Hermes Trismegastus as being the Prophet Enoch recorded in the OT.
Actually usually Muslims, Christians, Taoists, Hindus, and Hermeticists. I haven't heard of any Wiccan alchemists, which isn't surprising considering that religion...
In concept it makes perfect sense that it could be the case, I just don't think it is. Certain passages of the Bible make no sense under the understanding that Jesus is literally God.
My main concern is:
Luke 22:42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours...
I know Old English is a language.
As a recap of the last half hour, of which you've apparently paid no attention, I asserted "lucifer" was an Old English term.
You asserted it was not an Old English term:
It's absurd that I have to remind you of your own stupid words.
Then when I came with...
You and I know it is not a "mistranslation", like you said.
Stop making me defend KJV, it is a terrible translation that should not be used. It contains real mistranslations that were wrong at the time they were made, but this isn't one of them.
It is dishonest to try to assert the line refers...
Google Dictionary: "Old English, from Latin, ‘light-bringing, morning star’, from lux, luc- ‘light’ + -fer ‘bearing’. Lucifer (sense 1)is by association with the ‘son of the morning’ (Isa. 14:12), believed by Christian interpreters to be a reference to Satan."

We're talking KJV.
Who nowadays uses "thee" and "thy"??
The whole thing uses older language by design. Language that was old even at the time the translation was made.
And no, using "the morning star" or "Venus" would not make it a more "accurate" translation, only a more "modern" one.
And...
Nope, it was an Old English word. Yes, a loanword from Latin, but it was and has been a part of the English lexicon for centuries. Even Google's dictionary will tell you "Venus" is one of its definitions.
And we're talking about KVJ. Is it surprising that the the book littered with thees and...
Yes, and that is exactly what I said.
But that doesn't make it a mistranslation as you said it was. "Lucifer" is synonymous with "Venus" in the English language even if that usage has fallen out of common usage. I dislike the KJV (and other Vulgate-based translations) on principle, but this is...
I was going to ask what your translation for הֵילֵ֣ל was, but I see you provide it here.
Are you unaware that your own translation includes "lucifer"?? It's the archaic English term for "the morning star", a term that appears in your translation as well.
Look, we can of course debate the...
(This specific article) Looks like it is derived from Attar's Conference of the Birds with a bunch of other stuff from other religious traditions mixed in for flavor or reference.
Who knows??
Yes.
The belief that "bad" things happen is a delusion. Can't answer your question, because bad things don't happen.
Probably something interesting.
First through emotion. Then through reason. Then through uniting right and wrong.
It's just a means to easily reference the text when quoted from the English, one can then go look up a specific verse on a specific page. Baha'i texts, except for The Hidden Words, don't have verse numbers like the Bible or Quran do, so page numbers are usually referenced when citing a specific...
Well if it is anything like my state, the child can either legally consent with parental approval or they cannot legally consent, in which case their power of attorney (usually just their guardian) is empowered to consent on their behalf. My sister is non-verbal but can still own and hold...
