Thank you once again Doug for your excellent work, you lead me in to ever more areas of research and reading !
A fascinating Chapter of your latest work, I have merely speed read some of it, will give it full attention later, but was amazed at how the conflation of "Satan" and "Devil" occurred, and got to thinking how a mere translation error has lead to so much confusion !

Thank you Phizzy,
My desire is to make people think, not to make anyone agree with me. I provide only bits and pieces of ideas, which are covered so well in the books and resources that I cite. I want people to read and study these -- and to cone to their own conclusions.
Using Goodrick and Kohlenberger's "Strongest NIV Exhaustive Concordance" I used an Excel spreadsheet to show graphically the frequency of the Greek words related to Beelzeboul, demons; diabolos, and satanas in Paul, Gospels, Pseudo-Paul, and Revelation.
