My understanding, obviously as I found, backed up by the literature, as you pointed out, was that Lucifer fell and was then called Satan. I'll have to check that out.

A totally separate entity from Lucifer. Why Lucifer was given so many other names over the years is the fault of the creators of Christian mythology, the novel writers, and or story tellers of their time. Converts to the new religion of Christianity wanted answers to their questions and a history like all the other religions had, so they supplied it. Most all of it was borrowed from the many others of the time, primarily from the Mithra religion, the rest simply fabricated to fill in any gaps. Rome was full of religions, from every corner of their world. Every time the Roman army conquered a new land they brought the local religion back to Rome, built new temples for it, and every Emperor that was declared a God had to form a new religion, so he could be worshiped. Borrowing from the others was by far the easiest way.The Emperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068159634305327407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370182032693696367.post-6238817160307599212011-12-05T13:33:27.335-08:002011-12-05T13:33:27.335-08:00HMMMM....HMMMM....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
