Iblis is the name of Lucifer in Islam, all I said was the MYTH is only official in Islam.
And it is.
By Padawan:
Different languages like Arabic do not use latin names for characters in their religion unless speaking to a Christian who is not familiar with Iblis. Enoch is Idris in Arabic and he is still the same person.
By Padawan:
So you tried but failed in trying to catch me slipping. Iblis/Lucifer is even a story told in the Quran. He refuses to bow to Adam and rebels.
By Padawan:
Summer, you are a funny dude. Not Dave Chappelle funny but lady gaga funny in that you are both ridiculous but unaware
By Padawan:
It's comedic that you are desperate to feel like you told me something I don't know. I don't have to learn from you Summer, I am already learning everyday and Iblis is basic Islam.
By Padawan:
But that you don't know that Iblis is just another name for Lucifer you def. just Googled your infi which is why you mentioned Azazel, an angel from the book of Enoch. If you knew that you would have figured out that Islam borrowed many characters from its predecessors and the fact that Iblis is Lucifer would have been obvious.
By Padawan:
Then you wouldn't look foolish and desperately obsessed with what is to you a personality on the internet that you shouldn't concern yourself with.
By Padawan:
Not a lot of chicks calling these days huh?
By Padawan:
You see, Muslims were and are smart enough to know that Satan and Lucifer were/are not the same and didn't use Satan for their version of the fallen angel myth.
By Padawan:
They took the character from Enoch and gave him the fallen name of Iblis.
By Padawan:
But Enoch is not scripture in Islam and neither is the Bible so names can be borrowed and changed.
By Padawan:
Now you have been educated Summer. So the next time you hear me say Islam is the only religion that has Lucifer as doctrine, realize that Islam has its own names for Christian characters.
By Padawan:
Jesus is named Issa, but is still Jesus.
Satan is Shaitan but still Satan.
God is Allah but still God.
Enoch is Idris etc.
So if Iblis isn't Lucifer then Issa isn't Jesus and Idris isn't Enoch.
But damn if they don't have the same stories almost exactly. Must just be a coincidence.
By Padawan:
Summer, tell me, how are you that desperate to correct me on something that you would assume that Lucifer, a latin word, would be the same in Arabic and jump at the chance to correct me when I was not even wrong I just didn't see the need to say Iblis because I assumed everyone is smart enough to know about languages having different names for the same people.
By Padawan:
You are the only one that isn't.
By Padawan:
Lucifer is a non existent (within biblical Christianity) myth that comes from an incorrect interpretation of Isaiah 14:12
He never existed, never will, and any discussion about him is a waste of time.
Judaism never had a Lucifer who rebelled and is called Satan. Some early oral traditions reinterpreted scripture to make Judaism more like the Persian religion of their liberators. But that is not Judaism.
Christianity has pushed this myth for so long that now that we know the facts that he isn't a biblical character and Ezekiel and Isaiah were talking to human kings not angels, they don't want to discuss it out of embarrassment. But they do know.
So your fascination with Lucifer is about as relevant to Christianity as Harry Potter.
You should really learn these things if you want to be knowledgeable. Lucifer talk is for people who DON'T know about the true meaning of the Isaiah passage because they aren't interested in really knowing the truth and are happy when deceived with old, proven erroneous fantasy (even within religion) characters that are based off of false reading of scripture.
Join the world of people who are aware of biblical lies.

Ok something is bothering me here. Nobody is aware of the false interpretations that led to the Lucifer myth?
Isn't this the conspiracy crowd who is supposed to know these things?
I mean, Day star, son of Dawn (Helel ben Shachar) means "Shining one! Son of Shachar"
Shachar just means the planet Venus in the morning. It's referencing a myth from Canaan about the planet Venus. Shachar was a "god " based off the planet Venus in the morning. Not a believed in god, a mythical one.
Shining one is a sarcastic remark Isaiah is making to the King. Like when someone says "genius" when you do something dumb.
Like believe in a mythical (even in Christianity) being that was born out of misinterpretation of Isaiah when all the people who care about the truth know it is an embarrassment to Christianity to have believed in a Pharasaic mystical interpretation of Isaiah without knowing it while hating on the Pharisees for 2000 years all the while believing in a Pharisee reinterpretation of Isaiah to help support their new Israelite version of Ahriman called Belial or Satan or just the evil one.
When the bible makes it clear Yahweh is the source of evil and Ha Satan is his emissary. Pretty off the mark for any SERIOUS bible student.
Let Lucifer go the way of Chronos and Zeus and stop trying to make him exist. Learn the facts about the topic you are discussing so you aren't being an uninformed, uneducated believer in a myth that all scholars know is based off of a misinterpretation and the non translation of the word lucifer which turned it into a name and made a myth of a rebel angel that is now only believed officially by Islam.
I'm flabbergasted that you guys are having SERIOUS discussion about Lucifer like he is a real angel in the bible.
Why are you guys so uninformed about this? Don't you guys like the truth and EXPOSING lies?
So why are you perpetuating a myth that has been LONG disspelled and erroneous?
And you are actually living your lives with a belief that is not even in the bible, talking about it, asking questions like "why is Lucifer the bad guy."
Last time. In Judaism and Christianity, LUCIFER DOESN'T EXIST, ISN'T IN THE BIBLE AND THIS IS A REAL FACT, not my opinion.
Google: Lucifer misinterpretation and do some damn research.
