me when someone talks abt lucifer's canon and even refers to certain parts of the bible but is clearly talking about the one from paradise lost

hope I'm not just a blog for you but also a place to read passionate yet unimportant opinions about niche elements of the lore of abrahamic religions as well

#wtf are you talking about lucifer wasn't in genesis are you fucking kidding me !!!!!!!!!!!#gonna resurrect john milton just to beat his ass #at least like. with the divine comedy people know it's fiction. most ppl who understand shit abt religion know it's not canon #but ppl - including those that should be in the know abt this topic - mix paradise lost with the bible sooooooo much .#idk how lucifer became satan in the christian lore (yet. i gotta research first) but like i hope you all know #that lucifer aka morning star aka helel ben shahar is just some random king that gets a few verses in the book of isaiah and that's IT #like he tries to CLIMB to heaven and gets shot down by god. he is not already there and then sins or w/e #also satan is very often referred to as a noun like ''adversary''. not a character (minus job's story)#which is kinda like the mammon story #aka jesus said ''worshipping mammon will be your downfall'' or smth along these lines #and people didn't realize that mammon is an actual word. it means money #so they thought he meant worshiping a literal demon. and translated it as so.#ig he's a demon of greed at least in the 7 princes of hell theory (which is only from the 12th century iirc?) so eh close enough #. i have so many opinions and useless knowledge in my brain. can you tell #also a personal beef with the vulgate translation.#man my more recent followers are probably seeing me like this for the first time ever ajsdfghggfdfj hope you enjoy it 👍
