[Ezekiel Bathfire]

In Aramaic (very similar to Early American), Abba means "Father" and God is referred to in these terms.

I would refer the faithful to

M'r:14:35: And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
M'r:14:36: And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

If the name therefore refers to God and none of the combo have perished in a cataclysm of Biblical proportions, rich with violence and horror, then we should properly conclude that their name is inspired.

On the other hand, their name may be a perfect example of "taking the Lord's Name in vain" - a cheap publicity stunt, shallow and deceptive, to attract the innocent Christian and relieve them of their money.

Some clue may be found on the B side track "Why Did It Have to Be Me?" which is on their album "Arrival". The German edition of this is remarkable for the end of the track on which, just perceivable, is what appears to be Demon voices saying, backwards, in Swedish, "Your Soul is Damned! Satan will anally rape you in the pits of Hell."

But this leaves us no better off - Is this simply a Godly message accurately informing the atheist, Catholic, Jew or Arab, etc., etc, of the fate that awaits them, or is it Satan Himself uttering a promise?

For me, the jury is still out on Abba but I avoid them as I feel that, one way or another, they are not, of themselves, salvific.
