you can't, because these are apocryphal terms, which means questionable authorship or authenticity; or Erroneous; fictitious. this is a trick question, with no answer

Many people will try to tell you their own OPINION of what these mean, but the only TRUE answers are here.  Words do NOT mean what we want them to mean, but the REAL meanings are the ones ALL agree upon!\n\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=reverend\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Pastor\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=evangelist\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=father

Don't recall any biblical meaning.

In Classical Latin it is the term for "religious affairs"\n\nliteral meaning "things relating to a deity"

Actually the word Lucifer was derived from latin and the bible was translated from greek scriptures and to use the word lucifer is something added that did not belong there.  Lucifer refers to lux or light hence the bearer of light.  Some interpret the fallen star of the morning as Satan falling to Earth some even refer to this event as Jesus decending to Earth. I know for a fact they are not the same entity since neither exists.  Boooooooo.  Keep believing in Jewish fairy tales all you want.  It won't make you powerful to delve into this bull.  Quit wasting your time.  You know right from wrong and if you don't the law will remind you when you do something wrong.  Live by the law of the land, not some fantasy dreamed up hundreds of years ago.  None of those old fantasies helped anyone.  Christians, Luciferians, Satanists, Caballists, etc. can't even agree on any of this stuff.  Even Atheists form their following just like a religion.  Ethics not religion needs to be taught; not fairytale creatures in fantasy places.  You can believe in Superman and you would get the same results; I guarantee it.  Try it.  Worship a rock this week and lay in bed.  Worship God or whatever and lay in bed.  See... same results.  Now try it doing something bad.  See.. same results.  No magic, spirits,levitation, etc.  Quit fooling with foolish things unless you want to be a fool.

Maybe a slight god-complex. But, your main boggle is an over developed sense of satire. We atheists do not have a problem with this condition. However, the sheeple are most likely helplessly confused. Keep up the good work. LOL :)\nOh, and thanks for all the points recently. Muchas gracias! ;)

The vast majority of Biblical Narratives are meant to be understood Kaballistically and Alchemically.\n\nThe 40 000 wandering Jews, the three traitors of the Christ, all of the Apocalypse of St. John, the planetary humanity Adam-Kadmon's expulsion from the Eden (a psychological state), etc. etc. most of this is psychological allegory.  \n\nThose who read sacred texts literally become enslaved to the mind, thinking themselves liberated at last.  It is intellectual understanding precisely which breeds castes, sects, movements, fanaticism, etc. etc.\n\nThe best resource I have ever come across in unveiling the esoteric, kaballistic, alchemistic aspects of the Bible and other sacred texts is gnosticteachings.org.\n\nI hope this helps.

agrees wholeheartedly with gravesidian. and the same thing happened to me. christian by birth Pagan by choice. Christians, it is needless to say, utterly detest each other. They slander each other constantly with the vilest forms of abuse and cannot come to any sort of agreement in their teaching. Each sect brands its own, fills the head of its own with deceitful nonsense, and makes perfect little pigs of those it wins over to its side."

Interestingly enough, you had an apocalypse this morning when you woke up.  Weird huh?  Bet you didnt' even feel it.  The term Apocalypse actually means a transition of times.  But if you read in Revelations, the 7 horsemen are coming down to rain fire and brimstone down on all of us, but the ones that have grace will be just fine.  Then there comes the Anti-Christ, but those who have grace will be just fine.  Then comes judgement and the final war between Good and Evil, but those who have grace are just fine.  So, reading between the lines, I say that if you have grace, you'll be peachy keen.  If you want to know exactly what the apocalypse is about, go to Revelations.  But keep in mind that it was written as the Roman conquerors marched into Jordan.  (That's what Revelations is actually about, not the future.  It's what historians call Imminent-Apocryaphal future.)

ummm ... silly\n\nBUT, in an attempt to explain something very strange ... maybe the person reading the bible was reincarnated from that time and it brings them sorrow to read about their history

I thought Joseph Smith fell and bumped his head and came up with all that nonsense. If I fell and hit my head and said I've got news for everyone from God, I'd be sent to an asylum, but this guy's a prophet. I'm being serious. "Mormo" is the god of the dead in the Satanic bible.

An excellent list. And there isn't a christian that can deny the utter stupidity of the bible when presented with these outright contradictions.\nI mean, how can a "perfect" being's manifesto be so chock full of mistakes?

I couldn't list them all for you if I wanted to. There are more that were rejected than there were that were approved. Everyone that has suggested looking up Apochrypal texts is on the right track. The life of Adam and Eve was a good one from the old testament. The Book of Enoch, The gospels of Mary, and Judas, Peters Revalations. Those are just a few of the interesting ones.

Being brought up as an anligcan I was always allowed to take a very open interpretation of this text , and I read the whole thing cover to cover before i'd turned 13 I even at that age noticed these stiffling contradictions , There are probably three issues at play here , 1. THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD , (unlike the Koran or The Book of The Law the bible wasn't dictated to a human from a higher entity) . It is a a bunch of texts grouped together in order to furfther a specific agenda ( That of the Holy Roman Empire).It is as much a work of propaganda as it is a religious text.  Many christian holidays are also of this nature , attributed to the same dates as various pagan festivals in order to over-ride the significance of these days with Christian propaganda , \n\n2. The Bible was written by hundreds of authors over a period of thousands of years , if we look at any other book which has the Bibles status , they have been written by one person over a period of several years, the original texts of the bible also had their base in many different languages , Aramaic , Greek , Ancient Hebrew , and many others.\n\n3.The bible was compiled by humans a Bishop and a council of his followers decided back in the 1300's if my memory serves me correctly , on what books were to be included and excluded , those interested in the true basis of christian belief may want to read the apocrypha or the corpus hermeticum , which are a complilation of Christian writings based on Gnosis and have as much validity as the bible if you've only read the books of the bible you only have been given half the information.

You have quoted scripture and it answers your question right there.    I did try to type the word in and quess what....YA just put all astericks in place of the word so I guess they think it is a cuss word but it is indeed the term used to describe the animal Jesus rode on.  Talk about censorship....
