"Lucifer" was the latin translation to "morning star".
βI, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star*.β*
- Revelation 22:16
'morning star' was the title of Jesus Christ, as was also of a certain king of Babylon.
Yet Christians gave the name 'Lucifer' to Satan. Unwittingly taking the glory of Jesus and giving it to the devil.
Forgive the seemingly random post but for some reason once I had connected the pope to OSPβs discussion of the Ugandan presidentβs official title and subsequent jokes I couldnβt separate the two ideas.

I've heard about a saint that was called a fool for Christ. What does that imply?
Hear me out... It would be offensive to a lot of people but there needs to be a Seth Rogan/James Franco movie where Jesus (Seth) performs magic tricks with the help of Judas (James) to get everyone to believe they are prophets... Ultimately Judas starts sabotaging him because he begins getting jealous leading to disaster for Jesus.
Mary turns to Joseph and says, "Write that down. It's better than Kevin."
Many like to argue that the story of Christ has borrowed elements from other stories in history. Some will point to myths that predate Christ, draw some very vague comparisons, and conclude that it is proof that the Christ story is not original and therefore, was invented entirely by humans.
There is at least one major problem I see with this argument: the Christ story draws on earlier stories from the Bible itself, which are incredibly (almost shockingly) more parallel with the story of christ. Let me give some examples:
Moses: As a baby, he escaped the decree of a king and avoided certain death He lived in Egypt as a child but later returned to his homeland. He was known by his followers to be both humble and strong He was tempted while in the wilderness He was attested by God through signs and wonders He worked a miracle at the sea He miraculously fed thousands of people with bread He spoke Godβs word and taught Godβs law from a mountain He was the mediator between God and his people
Joshua:His name, when translated from Hebrew, means "God saves" He descended from a man named Joseph He had a humble, obscure beginning but rose to a place of honor He was anointed by God He was filled with God's Spirit He led and shepherded his people He did for God's people what Moses could not do He delivered God's people from the enemies of God He promised rest and provided it
Joseph:He was the special object of his father's love He was underestimated and discounted by his own family He had the ability to resist a temptation He fed bread to people to relieve their hunger He accurately foretold the future He was sold by someone he trusted for pieces of silver He was stripped of his robe and delivered to gentiles He stood before rulers in the assembly He was falsely accused His own people did not recognize him
Elisha:His name, when translated from Hebrew, means "God is salvation" His ministry started at the Jordan River He received the Spirit of his Father He was surrounded by more disciples than his predecessors He was attested by God with miracles, signs, and wonders He raised a woman's adult son from the grave He fed many people with just a few loaves and had more to spare He healed a leper He gave sight to the blind He fed the hungry He was betrayed for money
Jonah:He preached repentance to gentiles He knew that salvation belongs to the Lord He slept on a boat during a storm He acted and the power of God calmed the storm He chose to sacrifice himself for o

This is unplayable and not like exaggeratingly unplayable, this is "should have had an urgent fix by now" unplayable.
I can barely even get into a game, I'll boot up warzone and get stuck in a Title screen loop until I force restart the game.
I'll invite my friend to the lobby and we'll both crash to the dashboard.
We'll both get eliminated and the game will just crash for both of us while loading into the next game.
I'll go into creat a class and the screen will just boot back to the title screen after selecting a gun.
When we finally get into a game ALL of our guns are invisible. Literally invisible guns shooting invisible bullets on our screen.
My textures are literally not loading, the grass is just an N64 brown texture. Buildings are just a flat gray color.
This is pathetic.
