Shocker: Satan is a Woman and Was Married To God!

Armstrongism never is dull!  So many are willing to believe anything after being spoon fed for decades by HWA, GTA, Meredith and others.  So it is an easy thing for them to jump ship into crazier things.  Many left the COG and went into Messianic belief systems. However, I doubt many joined up with this kind of silliness.  Words fail me......

Satan--Was She Married to God?


The article Was Satan/Helel/Venus "Married" to Yahweh? by Rabbi Edward "Levi" Nydle writes about a very controversial topic which he had in his mind for some time.

Not only do we discover Satan is a SHE-a woman, but in fact was a bride adorned to God. But not content with being the bride of the King, she wanted to RULE over the King. Very far fetched some would say. Others would immediately believe this is apostasy of the utmost--if not, blasphemy!

On Isaiah 14:12, Rabbi Nydle writes:

"Satan –Lucifer or in the Hebrew Hillyl which comes from the Hebrew root of Halal. Halal is #1984 in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary and means: to be clear, to shine, to boast, to celebrate, glory, give light, to give in marriage, praise, rage, renowned, shine. Did you notice the bold words on marriage? In the Lexicon in Veteris Testament Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner, page 235: Halal means: a beautiful woman, a wife who is praised by her husband, a woman whose works praise her. The New Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, page 506, shows it to mean to be given in marriage, worthy to be praised."


Rabbi Nydle points out that Satan originally created to be the bride of Yahweh--her intent was to be given in marriage.

  1. Lest we think that the Jews have any greater hold on reality than any other religion.

  2. This is purely 100% absolute proof in my mind that Armstrongism is a misogynist religion. Anyone who bullheadedly argues otherwise just needs to get out of la-la land and fast!

  3. Men eat food.

    Pigs eat food.

    Therefore all men are pigs.

    At least cannibals claim that men taste like pigs.

    So why not? A word in Scripture is related to another word way down in the meaning, so go ahead and seize on it and give new meaning to proof texting -- not unlike some of the more fringe Armstrongists.

  4. I know many men who would agree that their wives are Satan! :)

  5. We can't imagine God (Who by the way, did have Asherah as his orginal consort in the OT, before it was written out of the text) having a female counterpart. However, we seem to have no trouble or discomfort thinking that God lives with his single son, who really is himself and the son is also the father and let's not even wonder what part of the family the Holy Spirit plays. The three Amigos i guess.

    Some say the reason God does not get off his throne and intervene in human affairs is because he can't. Jesus is sitting on his right hand. :)

  7. And once again it is the women's fault! Church history has had a long standing tradition, of disenfranchising women making them 'less than.'

  8. Just more idiocy to go along with the original idiocy. I sometimes wonder why I bother to keep up with this theological crap. I guess it's just the hope that I'll be able to interject something that will start somebody thinking logically.

  9. If we believe Satan to be a fallen archangel (Lucifer), then Satan is a "neuter" - without gender.

    Yet so often, ministers (in COG's and otherwise) refer to Satan as a "he" -- as male as God the Father.

  10. Since Lucifer is really the morning star or Venus, all this Satan stuff is so much BS. As to Angels being neuter, I guess that comes from Jesus' supposed statement about them.

    Angels are just as much figments of human imaginations as are gods. Maybe there is a spirit world, maybe not, but no religion can be depended upon for facts or proof.
