In the gainsaying of Core. Of Korah, Numbers 16:1-30. The word gainsaying here means properly contradiction, or speaking against; then controversy, question, strife; then contumely, reproach, or rebellion. The idea here seems to be, that they were guilty of insubordination; of possessing a restless and dissatisfied spirit; of a desire to rule, etc.”

And the source for Barnes revelation that gainsaying is more "properly" something other than gainsaying is...?

Moreover, your observation that Lucifer is not a man is utterly arbitrary and serves no purpose other than to give you a random detail to hang your conjecture. Which is rather funny as you didn't seem to mind using Lucifer's aspirations to model Korah's sin in the Jude reference until I pointed out a stronger reference for that particular sin.

“Which is rather funny as you didn’t seem to mind using Lucifer’s aspirations to model Korah’s sin in the Jude reference until I pointed out a stronger reference for that particular sin.”

Korah’s sin was pride, and claiming an office he wasn’t qualified for - per Moses & Jude. Now you are claiming I used Lucifer’s aspirations to model Korah’s sin?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

“And the source for Barnes revelation that gainsaying is more “properly” something other than gainsaying is...?”

Barnes says it “means properly contradiction, or speaking against”

Do you know the definition of gainsaying is? Let me help:

1. to deny, dispute, or contradict.
2. to speak or act against; oppose.

Golly...Barnes was DEFINING the word, and you oppose him doing it?!?!?!?!? What is your problem? Is Random House a bunch of heretics?
