Do you realise that there as as much truth in Lucifer being another name for Satan as...?

In some translations the Latin Vulgate term “Lucifer” is retained. It is, however, merely the translation of the Hebrew word heh·lel´, “shining one.” Heh·lel´ is not a name or a title but, rather, a term describing the boastful position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings of the line of Nebuchadnezzar. (Isa 14:4-21) Since Babylon was a tool of Satan, its “king” reflected Satan’s own ambitious desire.

I go to a church where they cast out demons. It's called a "deliverance ministry". Just last week, there was a woman there, who had about 12 different demons expelled from her.  I think maybe people have been desensitized to the reality of demonic spirits by all the horror movies they've seen over the years.  They've come to believe that they're just a part of sensationalized fiction, rather then reality.  But in fact, there are probably thousands of people in America right now, that are possessed by evil spirits, and they don't even know it.  They've opened the doorway to darkness by getting involved in occult practices, such as witchcraft and satanism.  T.V. Shows like "Charmed", have made witchcraft look like harmless fun, when in fact, it is a very dangerous practice.  It's all a part of Satan's plan to destroy the minds of our youth, and send them to hell.  That's because the Devil is already doomed to spend an eternity there, and he wants to take as many young people along with him as he possibly can.

lucifer\n\nSatan (שָׂטָן Standard Hebrew Satan, Greek σατᾶν sátan, from the proper name Σατανάς Sátanas, Tiberian Hebrew Śāṭān; Aramaic שִׂטְנָא Śaṭanâ; Arabic شيطان Shaitan: both words mean "Adversary; accuser"; derived from the Semitic root šṭn, which carries the semantics of opposing, obstructing, and of being adverse) is a Judeo-Christian term which is, together with the Islamic term Shaitan, traditionally applied to an angel, demon, or minor god in many religions. The idea of this ultimate agent of evil as the Prince of Darkness was most likely introduced by the Iranian (Persian) prophet Zoroaster, whose ideas would later influence Judeo-Christian beliefs[1] Although Zoroaster’s beliefs concentrated on the duality and struggle between ultimate good and ultimate evil, it was the Judaic adaptation of these beliefs which portrayed Satan as the inferior enemy of God (Zoroaster saw the enemy as also omnipotent). Satan plays various roles in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocrypha and the New Testament. In the Hebrew Bible, Satan is an angel that God uses to test man for various reasons usually dealing with his level of piety (e.g. the test in the Book of Job). In the Apocrypha and New Testament, Satan is portrayed as an evil, rebellious demon that is the enemy of God and mankind. However, in both Jewish and Christian theology Satan is not understood as a true equal to God (as he is perhaps so seen in Zoroastrianism, depending on whether one considers Ahura Mazda or Zurvan to be the proper parallel to the trinity)[citation needed] Since both religions are intentionally monotheistic, Satan is seen, rather, as a creature created by God--originally good, but now fallen of his own choosing. This prevents a true dualism in both religions. Good is the original status of all things made by God. Corruption comes later at the hand of created moral agents (consider Augustine's notion of privation here). Thus Satan is always under God's providential control and at times even his unwilling agent.\n\nIn Christio-Islamic tradition, Satan is generally viewed as a preternatural that is the central embodiment of evil.[citation needed] Satan is also commonly known as the Devil (Latin Diábolus, Diaboli, from Greek Διάβολος Diábolos, meaning slanderer), the "Prince of Darkness," Beelzebub (direct translation is "Lord of the Flies"), Belial, Mephistopheles, and Lucifer ("lightbringer").\n\nIn the Talmud and some works of Kabbalah, Satan is sometimes called Samael; however most Jewish literature is of the opinion that Samael is a separate angel.[citation needed] In the fields of angelology and demonology these different names sometimes refer to a number of different angels and demons, and there is significant disagreement as to whether any of these entities are actually evil.[citation needed]\n\nIn Islam, Iblīs (Arabic إبليس), is the primary devil. He appears more often in the Qur'an as being the Shaitan: Iblis is mentioned 11 times, and Shaitan "al-Shaitaan" ‏‏(الشيطان) 87 times. He is chief of the spirits of evil, and his personality is similar to that of the devil in Christianity. He suffered from pride and refused to bow down to Adam at Allah's command. He subsequently rebelled against Allah, and was therefore thrown out of Heaven, and was henceforth known as Shaitan.[citation needed]

Actually the word Lucifer was derived from latin and the bible was translated from greek scriptures and to use the word lucifer is something added that did not belong there.  Lucifer refers to lux or light hence the bearer of light.  Some interpret the fallen star of the morning as Satan falling to Earth some even refer to this event as Jesus decending to Earth. I know for a fact they are not the same entity since neither exists.  Boooooooo.  Keep believing in Jewish fairy tales all you want.  It won't make you powerful to delve into this bull.  Quit wasting your time.  You know right from wrong and if you don't the law will remind you when you do something wrong.  Live by the law of the land, not some fantasy dreamed up hundreds of years ago.  None of those old fantasies helped anyone.  Christians, Luciferians, Satanists, Caballists, etc. can't even agree on any of this stuff.  Even Atheists form their following just like a religion.  Ethics not religion needs to be taught; not fairytale creatures in fantasy places.  You can believe in Superman and you would get the same results; I guarantee it.  Try it.  Worship a rock this week and lay in bed.  Worship God or whatever and lay in bed.  See... same results.  Now try it doing something bad.  See.. same results.  No magic, spirits,levitation, etc.  Quit fooling with foolish things unless you want to be a fool.

The only character from the Bible, that GWB is similar to, is Lucifer. *nods*

Isaiah 14:12 says 'How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer....'\nLuke 10:18 says 'And he said unto them , I beheld satan a lightning fall from heaven.'\nSo, I would have to say that yes, the Bible does say that Lucifer is satan.

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.

It depends on if you are going to view it as fiction(which is what is intended).  But, it does make one stop and wonder if any of it is true.  Which would mean that the Catholic Church, and a lot of other important folks have kept a lot of truths from all of us for many years.  And why would they do that?  Check out the book"Demons and Angels", by Dan Brown.

Not even a little bit. Even if we assume that the original Hebrew scripture was the inspired word of God, it's been hopelessly corrupted since then by all sorts of freaks, each thinking he was "divinely inspired". For example, St Jerome added the word "Lucifer" as the direct translation of a Babylonian king whose name happened to mean "morning star". Now, many people honestly believe that Lucifer is a synonym for Satan. It's not. It's the Latin word for "morning star", nothing more.\n\nYou can either have a God who is infallible, or you can have a Bible that is the direct word of God. You can't have both.

Have you heard the saying "Better the devil you know"?

First off...I say no.\n\nSecond of all, perhaps there's more to consider.  \n\nAsk yourself WHY satan appeared as a serpent in the garden?  (hit...satan always tries to decieve).\n\nIn Exodus, when the children of Israel are being afflicted by the "flying serpents" moses puts a serpent on a cross (um...symbolic) and says "look to the serpent to live".\n\nThis is not doctrine of my faith, however I sincerly believe that at one point the serpent was a symbol of christ rather than of satan.  Satan appeared in a manner trying to mimick christ and therefore decieve eve.  Moses knew this symbology but it's since been forgotten.\n\nI believe the snake was originally a symbol of Christ.

I would honestly be very suspicious of any detailed (physical) descriptions of Satan. Not that I would doubt whether or not the person saw Satan, or that they gave a good description of what they saw, but that Satan appears in various forms is evident, and he is smart enough to appear in whatever form best suits the purpose of the moment.\nFirst of all, Satan is both a liar and a spirit being (not limited to a single physical form), and will use whatever (physical) form is best suited to the lie.\nSecond, the various 'sightings' of Satan may or may not be Satan himself. They could just as well be another fallen angel (demon, imp, gargoyle, whatever name you want to use).\nLies and misdirection are the stock-in-trade of all these beings, so for them to lie about who they are (including names) is very common.\nThe Bible is not all that clear about names and physical descriptions of fallen angels, so those come from other sources. Personal experiences, books based on other's experiences, etc, and it's all very subjective.\nBiblical descriptions of the Evil One are character-based, not physical. The character of the devil, satan, whatever imp, demon, gargoyle, etc is easy to recognize from Scripture, so apparently, physical descriptions (and even names) are far less important than knowing the characteristics of the enemy.\nThe Bible does say that Satan (and his servants) can appear as angels of light, and workers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)\nThe Bible says that ALL other names are under the name of Jesus Christ, so knowing Jesus (and being able to recognize His true messengers) is the important thing. I think its a lot like when a bank employee is being taught to recognize a counterfeit bill - they don't show them all the clever fakes, they make them become so familiar with the real thing that the fakes become obvious.

There are many (including myself) who believe that Lucifer (light-bearer) was the chief angel of worship. Though it is more likely that his 'praise and worship' dwelt in the realm of the visible (meaning light, as from the description of him bejeweled and such - as such the priests garments, etc.)\n\nWe humans, not having the ability to administer 'light praise' use our voices instead. However, there is dance and banners and such, which are visable.\n\nPerhaps when we finally learn to 'worship God in Spirit and in Truth' we will become masters of manipulating light; as well as sound!

yes I do the same\n\nmy "opinion" is that Satan sends his Demons, aka Aliens, to get descieved that there is other life form out there, thus discrediting the Bible, which Satan loves to try and do
