SATAN & THE DEVIL -- ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE....

I have heard......

"Satan" comes from a Hebrew word meaning "struggle".

Now that figures!

Try this on for size.......
If to "sin" is to "miss" (that's what the word means),
Maybe the ONLY sin
Is Struggle.
Easy is right.
Hmmmm?.....

The word "Devil" derives from the Sanskrit word, "deva" which means "god".
And Lucifer means "light".

I get that God and devil,
Good and evil
Are two sides of the same coin,
Inseparable polarities of What-Is.

When we change our attitude or context
Good and evil swap,
Each becomes the other.
For example -- one of the ten commandments is "Thou shalt not kill",
But when you turn the page, it seems there's a rider --
"...... except in war."

God and devil,
Lucifer and Gabriel
Jesus and Judas........
Each, on its own, is an illusion,
A metaphor;
But BOTH together
Are the What-Is of being human.
