ArchivesRe: satan
in reply to a message by Silver
satan WAS a former angel. in the bible, it is said that he defied God and was banished from heaven. his former name was lucifer, which means 'the light bearer'. when lucifer left heaven, he took 1/3 of the angels with him.

Another thing...
...in the Jewish bible (what is sometimes referred to as the Old Testament) ha-Satan is merely the prosecuting attorney, nothing more. Also, he could not be cast down due to rebellion (as is usually presented in the Christian bible) since he isn't "programmed" to do so (rebel.)
Sorry for this religious lesson on ha-Satan, but I've just finished a rant here on campus on this very subject. :rolleyes:
