:That's not translating - that' just playing a game of word associations. I hope that you are more diligent when tranlating the Hebrew text.
:Yes, Satan creates chaos. But your reasoning is circular:
''Satan obviously creates chaos'' and ''Devil means Satan'' therefore ''Devil means creator of chaos''. So, now ''Devil means creator of chaos'', therefore ''the Bible talked about chaos when it spoke of Satan as the devil'', proving that ''Satan creates chaos''.
The meaning of διάβόλος is slanderer. You won't find any Greek source where it is understood in another meaning. So even if Luke started to use a new meaning for this word (as a kind of Biblical Humpty-Dumpty), his listeners only would have understood "slanderer".
Markman, please think about the above and undo your edit. Thanks.
