Question

Atheists what is the morning star and who is it?

Answer 1

The Morning Star ~From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_Star

The Morning Star is a communist, British daily newspaper in tabloid format. It is dedicated to foreign and domestic news, with a bias to social issues and trade unions, and away from the perceived pro-business stance of other publications.[1] It also has an arts page, a TV page, and sports pages. It eschews the gossip columns and sensational news of heavier tabloid papers and has also far fewer pages than other national dailies (16 pages on weekdays, 20 on Saturdays).



It was founded in 1930 as the Daily Worker, the organ of the Communist Party of Great Britain. It was relaunched as the The Morning Star in 1966. Since September 1945 the paper has been owned and published by a readers' co-operative, the People's Press Printing Society, which operates on a one-vote-per-shareholder basis.

Answer 2

The morning star is a medieval weapon consisting of a spiked club resembling a mace, usually with a long spike extending straight from the top and many smaller spikes around the particle of the head. The spikes distinguish it from a mace, which can have, at most, flanges or small knobs. It was used by both infantry and cavalry; the horseman's weapon had a shorter shaft. The mace, a traditional knightly weapon, developed somewhat independently, became all-metal with heads of various forms, while the morning star retained its characteristic spikes, with a usually wooden shaft, often found in longer two-handed forms measuring up to six feet or more, was popular among troops.

Answer 9

The "morning star" is a poetic allusion to the Planet Venus, used to indicate greatness that fades as a new day dawns. It never referred to a single person in any culture that I'm aware of. Many Mediterranean cultures, including the Greeks and Romans, used it as a recurring epithet with the connotations mentioned above.

Answer 10

According to christian MYTH it's Lucifer.



Fortunately many of us have grown out of the infantile belief.

Answer 11

I am not an atheist. But as I saw only a couple of correct answers they had no elaboration. "Morning Star" is a position of great authority and responsibility in the government of God. It is a position that Satan used to have until he was removed from it and replaced by Jesus.



Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Answer 12

The morning star is Venus and it is also Jesus.



Rev 22:16 (NIV) "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

Answer 13

The 'morning star' referred to in Isaiah was a Babylonian king who had gotten too big for his britches. The actual epithet was 'shining one, son of dawn'. That got translated into Greek as an epithet of Venus 'morning bearer', which became in Jerome's Latin, lucis ferre, 'light bringer'.



As a word, 'luciferi' also shows up in Virgil and other Latin poetry.



In the Christian canon, 'morning star' refers to Jesus. I don't know the history of that association.

Answer 14

First, we went with the aid of this along with your final question, neither Jesus nor devil nor Samael is the morning megastar as you propose the term. Jesus is the morning megastar in that scripture contained in the experience that he's bringing God's Kingdom (the mild of the hot day), Jesus is best the way and so he's extremely like the literal morning megastar (no longer the god of Greek mythology named Lucifer). And neither devil nor Samael is Lucifer in any experience (no rely if the only from Greek mythology or the literal morning megastar). Secondly, you need to purpose analyzing the context of Isaiah financial disaster 14, simply by fact that is no longer touching on Jesus in any respect. i could factor out that the scriptures you place down from Isaiah 14 are a condemnation, no longer a blessing. Now why could God have Isaiah condemn Jesus for doing precisely what God informed him to do? that's touching on the rustic of Judah, who besides the incontrovertible fact that on the time grew to become into sinning against God incredibly, nonetheless believed that it grew to become into worth of being referred to as God's human beings and a shining mild to all different countries. They believed themselves invincible simply by fact they had God on their part, no longer recognizing that their sin had alienated God and had created a situation wherein they could be dealing with enemy countries on my own. And mutually as they actual beat those different countries whilst God grew to become into on their part, on my own they stood no probability against those countries. they could be defeated and enslaved, in actuality recent technique a metaphorical loss of existence as a rustic. They believed themselves to be a source of light, yet they have been in darkness and could at last die as a rustic in that darkness. no longer continuously, yet for that factor.

Answer 15
