Can you prove Lucifer IS Satan from the Catholic/Christian bible with a scripture or verse?
148151
The name Lucifer was assigned to Satan from the book of Isaiah (14:12).....the bible never equates Lucifer with satan because the name lucifer is a mistranslation of the expression "star of the morning" from hebrew. The actual passage in Isaiah is actually referring to the king of babylon, not the devil....But because people get creative and use the notion of "double reference," they say the passage describing the king is also referring to the devil....The jews always referred to the devil as Satan.....they had other names like the serpent, etc...

The Scriptures indicate that the Devil was originally a perfect, righteous spirit creature. But he “did not stand fast in the truth.” (John 8:44) Only after he willingly took a course of opposition and resistance to God was he called Satan.\nIn centuries past most professed Christians have had very vivid ideas about who Satan is and what he looks like. He was an evil angel, they said, whom God had put in charge of the lake of fire to torment the wicked and he wore a red union suit and was equipped with horns, a tail and a pitchfork.\n\nWhat is the truth about the Devil? And what does the Bible reveal regarding Satan the Devil? For as Christians we follow the example of Christ Jesus, who always appealed to the Scriptures to settle any controversial point regarding teaching. \nBriefly scriptures tells us that he is an entity, an invisible spirit person; a wicked creature who, in the final analysis, is responsible for all the suffering and wickedness the human race has ever experienced; that he made himself a devil; that God has had good reasons for allowing him to live until now, and that in God’s due time the Devil will be destroyed.\n\nWhere did Satan come from? Surely God did not create him as Satan, for all His work is perfect. (Deut. 32:3, 4) Satan was at one time a perfect angel and served as a guardian of the first human pair in Eden. Concerning him we read: “Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; . . . Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; . . . Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. . . . Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty.”—Ezek. 28:13-18, AS.\n\nAnd what caused him to corrupt his wisdom? His ambition to be like the Most High, Jehovah God, which was betrayed thousands of years later in these words of his: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” (Isa. 14:13, 14, AS) \nBy taking the foregoing scriptures with the well-known account of what took place in Eden, we have the picture of an angel appointed as guardian over the first human pair, who let his appointment go to his head and became ambitious to be like Jehovah God and began by estranging the first human pair from their Maker. He made himself into a deceiving, opposing, devouring Devil.—Gen. 3:1-19.\n\nThus, it is no myth that “Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.”—1 Pet. 5:8, NW.

Both Jesus and Lucifer are associated with Tiphareth, the 6th Sephira in the Cabbalistic Tree of Life. They are opposite sides of the same coin.

Oh this one is easy haha. It is according to the book of revelation. It is not the devils number or any of that sort, but actually reference to Emperor Nero. Emperor Nero is the beast mentioned in Revelations. Revelation was written by John of Pathmos (there was more than one John) and it pertained to the time that it was written. It is not to be applied to current times. In the Hebrew form of Gematria 666 Spells out NRON KSR (Nero Kaisar or Nero Caesar)\n\nN=50 R=200 O=6 N=50 K=100 S=60 R=200 = 666\n\nBook of Revelation was written before the collapse of the 2nd Temple in 70 A.D. It was a call for a New Jerusalem. Babylon refers to Rome and the Beast refers to the Emperor.\n\nIt was Evil for Christians, why? Who do you think Nero happened to blame after the fire in Rome? Hehehe. And who do you think had to suffer and be persecuted? The Christians! So obviously, Christians would find this number evil, because it hints a very evil figure. Infact Nero used to use Christians as Garden Lamps in his Gardens (Where the Vatican now stands). He literally lit them on fire! Alive! Thousands of them. They could not openly write any of this because of obvious reasons. Christianity wasnt legalized till 313 AD (Edict of Milan) by Constantine. So anything Christian before that was illegal and you were subject to persecution if you were Christian. So whatever was written before this time was written in secret and using secret allergories and language (like the Hebrew Gematria) so that others would not understand. It was tough being a Christian back then :-p. Revelations was probably written around 68-69 A.D., right before the collapse of the Second Temple in 70. \n\n\nNothings Gonna Happen on June 6th. The sun will rise and it will set. And we'll all be happy. Who knows you might even get a raise at work :-D

I wrote a Bible study about Satan.  You can find it at:\nhttp://www.onewayonly.net/satanprofile.html\n\nHere are scriptures from that study which should answer your question:\n\nJohn 16:11:\nand in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.\n\nRomans 16:20:\nThe God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.     The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.\n\n2 Thessalonians 2:8:\nAnd then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.\n\nMatthew 25:41:\n"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"\n\nEzekiel 28:19:\nAll the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.' "\n\nRevelation 20:10:\nAnd the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.\n\nSo, in a nutshell, the devil really won't "die" as we usually think of dying.  He will be tormented in the lake of burning sulfur (hell) for ever and ever.\n\nIf you'd would like to receive the salvation God has made available to all of us so that we don't have to share in the devil's suffering for all of eternity, you can learn what you need to do to be saved at:\nhttp://www.onewayonly.net/salvation.html

You raise several interesting points in your question. I am not entirely sure what specific answer you are looking for, but I will give it a shot.\n\nYou say that satan used Scripture to tempt Jesus. He did, indeed. Jesus also used Scripture to defend himself against these temptations. Ultimately, we see that Jesus overcame all temptation by using the Scripture as his sword. \n\nIt is at this point that I would like to point out that satan, and devil, are not proper names, and could be applied to any number of enemies. These adjectives are used to describe an accuser, adversary, and Jesus also called Peter satan. There are dozens of reference in the Bible, but it seems that translators used these words in place of several persons and personalities. One interesting name replaced by "satan" is Satyr, mentioned in Greek mythology as a creature composed of a man and a goat, supposed to inhabit wild and desolate regions.\n\nBack to your question.\n\nPaul never mentions hell in any of his writings. He does wish condemnation for those who fool Christians into believing lies. This condemnation he wishes for judaisers (those who want Christians to follow Jewish law), false prophets, and lying spirits. Condemnation is judgment, but it is not to be confused with a lake of fire.\n\nThe Church has existed since the time Jesus chose twelve disciples. But, it does not predate the writings of the Jewish Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament. It did, however exist without a printed version of the Christian "Bible" until the 1500's.\n\nSince the the Scriptures were first put onto paper, there have been countless translations. This was necessary to introduce the Bible to people and cultures all over the world. The original writings of the prophets and disciples have been gone for centuries. All we have left of the Scripture are translations. \n\nUnfortunately, Rome held "copyright" on Scripture, and would not allow the sacred writings to be seen by common people. For that reason, we have, as Christians, a Bible made up of books that we believe to be legitimate writings. But, there are dozens of writings that could also be just as legitimate as the ones we allow in our Bible.\n\nThe important thing to remember is that the Scriptures tell a story. This is the story of mankind, his history, his lineage. It is also a story about God, and his dealings with mankind. But, most importantly, it tells us we are loved by our Creator, and it offers us salvation.\n\nYes, many have tried to add books to the Bible. Many have tried to tell a different story. In my opinion, no book written after the apostles died can adequately describe the teachings of Jesus. But, they can all give us a version of the story that they have heard.\n\nWhat we do to become part of the God's eternal, yet evolving, story is more important than fighting over who wrote what.

2 Cor. 11:14-15 \n    No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of rightheousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. \n\nOne of te names of Satan is The Deceiver, in Revelation he is the Great Dragon, that Old Snake.  He is also called The accuser of the Brethren.\n\nMake no mistake you are still accountable to God, even if you have believed the Great Lie.\n\nJohn 8:44 \n    "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

In modern and late Medieval Christian thought, Lucifer is a fallen angel commonly associated with Satan, the embodiment of evil and enemy of God. Lucifer is generally considered, based on the influence of Christian literature and legend, to have been a prominent archangel in heaven (although some contexts say he was a cherub or a seraph), prior to having been motivated by pride to rebel against God. When the rebellion failed, Lucifer was cast out of heaven, along with a third of the heavenly host, and came to reside on the world.\n\nLucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically same meaning as Prometheus which bring the light to the man. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan.

Satan the Devil\nDefinition:  The spirit creature who is the chief adversary of God and of all who worship the true God.  The name Satan was given to him because of his becoming a resister of Jehovah (God's name) or Yahweh/YHWH as the ancient Israelites called him).  Satan is also known as the Devil, because he is the foremost slanderer of God.  Satan is described as the original serpent, evidently because of his using a serpent in Eden to deceiver Eve, and for this reason "serpent" came to signify "deceiver."  In the book of Revelation, the symbolism of a devouring dragon is also applied to Satan.\nIf I am correct in assuming, I believe his angelic name was Lucifer.\nHow can we know whether such a spirit person really exists?\nThe Bible is the chief source of evidence.  There he is repeatedly refered to by name (Satan 52 times, Devil 33 times).  Eyewitness testimony as to Satan's existence is recorded there.  Who was the eyewitness?  Jesus Christ, who lived in heaven before coming to earth, repeatedly spoke of that one by name. (Luke 22: 31, 10:18; Matt. 25: 41)\nWhat the Bible says about Satan the Devil makes sense.  The evil that mankind experiences is far out of proportion to the malice of the humans involved.  The Bible's explanation of Satan's origin and his activities makes clear why, despite the desire of the majority to live in peace, mankind has been plagued with hatred, violence, and war for thousands of years and why this has reached such a level that it now threatens to destroy all mankind.\nIf there really were no Devil, accepting what the Bible says about him would not bring lasting benefits to a person.  In many instances, however, persons who formerly dabbled in the occult or who belonged to groups practicing spiritism report that they were what that time greatly distressed because of hearing "voices" from unseen sources, being "possessed" by super human beings, etc.  Genuine relief was gained when they learned what the Bible says about Satan and his demons, applied the Bible's counsel to shun spiritualistic practices, and sought Jehovah's help in prayer.\nBelieving that Satan exists does not mean accepting tha idea that he has horns, a pointed tail, and a pitchfork and that he roasts people in a fiery hell.  The Bible gives no such description of Satan.  That is the product of the minds of medieval artists who were influenced by representations of the mythological Greek god Pan and by the "Inferno" written the the Italian poet Dante Alighieri.  Instead of teaching a fiery hell, the Bible clearly says that "the dead....are conscious of nothing at all." - Eccl. 9:5\nFrom where did Satan come?\nAll of God's works are perfect; he is not the author of unrighteeiousness; so he did not create anyone wicked. (Deut. 32:4; Psalms 5:4)  The one who became Satan was originally a perfect spirit son of God.  When saying that the Devil "did not stand fast in the truth, " Jesus indicated that at one time that one was "in the truth." (John8:44)  But, as is true of all God's intelligent creatures, this spirit son was endowed with free will.  He abused his freedom of choice, allowed feelings of self-importance to develop in his heart, began to crave worship that belonged only to God and so enticed Adam and Eve to listen to him rather than obey God.  Thus by his course of action he made himself Satan, which means "adversary".  - James: 1:14, 15

Satan is a deceiver, so he puts it in the hearts of man to copy the real thing and make up a false religion. The devil is the father of all lies according to the bible.

Look at Isaiah 14:12-20 \nSon of the Morning = Lucifer\n\nand Eze 28:12-19 (anointed cherub)\n\nand Rev 12:7-17 The unseen war.

Well according to the Bible, the devil was an Angel who was caste out of Heaven by God - so this being the case the Devil can not be equal to God as God created him.
