(P.S. In case anyone religious looks at my pic and gets the wrong idea, all I mean by "heroic" is the literary genre type meaning, rather than "worthy of emulation, admirable" or something like that.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7139529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7139529.page GMT Re:Just Realized that Ahriman is Satan http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7140118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7140118.page GMT Re:Just Realized that Ahriman is Satan

Well look at that.

The Hebrew term Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן‎, 'Ǎḇaddōn), and its Greek equivalent Apollyon (Greek: Ἀπολλύων, Apollyon), appear in the Bible as a place of destruction and an angel, respectively. In the Hebrew Bible, abaddon is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place שאול (sheol), meaning the land of the dead. In the New Testament Book of Revelation, an angel called Abaddon is written as the king of an army of locusts; his name is first transcribed in Greek (Revelation 9:11 – "whose name in Hebrew Abaddon" (Ἀβαδδὼν)), and then translated ("which in Greek means the Destroyer" (Ἀπολλύων, Apollyon)). The Latin Vulgate, as well as the Douay Rheims Bible, has an additional note (not present in the Greek text), "in Latin Exterminans", exterminans being the Latin word for "destroyer".

Baal is just a title, meaning "Master" or "Lord" (even lord of your own house). It's also used for many different gods since it was often forbidden or unlucky to mention the name of a god. Any god of the citystates the Israelites knew about could be a Baal, and I guess they didn't care to write down the proper name too often. Everyone knew which Baal they worshipped in Tyre, right? So the Baal of Tyre is quite enough information when they write about it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7148896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7148896.page GMT Just Realized that Ahriman is Satan

I was watching a program on ancient Persia last night, and while they were explaining Zoroastrianism, used the name Ahriman to describe Angra Mainyu, the pre-Christian proto-Satan. I had only ever heard this deity referred to as Angra Mainyu.

I like it!

Yeah, I did some deep research into the Thousand Sons a couple months ago and found that out. His Brother's name means "good" by the way, so they are like the two sides of a coin, kind of. Except one side of the coin is dead.

I actually prefer that Ahriman is named after Satan instead of God for reasons that I probably shouldn't mention for the sake of avoiding a religious war. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7150951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7150951.page GMT Just Realized that Ahriman is Satan http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7153129.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/611596/7153129.page GMT
