http://scriptures.lds.org/en/luke/10/18#18 satan appears as lightning but so does Jesus
i think it is because of this statement that it became written that satan can appear as an angel of light.
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/2_cor/11/14#14
but it is also clearly written that angels do appear with light

There are many different forms or "types" of angels:
Bible Dictionary: Angels
These are the messengers of the Lord, and are spoken of in the epistle to the Hebrews as “ministering spirits” (Heb. 1: 14). We learn from latter-day revelation that there are two classes of heavenly beings who minister for the Lord: those who are spirits and those who have bodies of flesh and bone. Spirits are those beings who either have not yet obtained a body of flesh and bone (unembodied), or who have once had a mortal body and have died, and are awaiting the resurrection (disembodied). Ordinarily the word angel means those ministering persons who have a body of flesh and bone, being either resurrected from the dead (reembodied), or else translated, as were Enoch, Elijah, etc. (D&C 129).
There are many references to the work of angels in the O.T. In some passages the “angel of the Lord” speaks as the voice of God himself (Gen. 22: 11-12). The word angel is also sometimes used to designate a human messenger, as in JST Gen. 19: 9-15, and may have some application also in Matt. 13: 39-42. There is evidence of nonmortal beings who serve God in heaven (1 Kgs. 22: 19; cf. Alma 36: 22) and also of some who do God’s will and minister to men on the earth (Gen. 28: 12; Gen. 32: 1; 2 Sam. 24: 16; 1 Kgs. 19: 5-7; 2 Kgs. 1: 15; 2 Kgs. 19: 35; Ps. 91: 11.
We find angels mentioned by name in Dan. 8: 16; Dan. 9: 21; Dan. 10: 13, 21; Dan. 12: 1; Luke 1: 19, 26. In latter-day revelation we learn that the angel Michael is Adam, and the angel Gabriel is Noah (HC 3: 386).
In the N.T. there are many references to the ministry of angels, but no clear statement as to their nature or their relation to mankind in general. Angels attended on our Lord throughout his life on earth (Matt. 1: 20; Matt. 2: 13, 19; Matt. 4: 11; Matt. 28: 2-8; Luke 1: 11-20, 26-30; Luke 2: 9-15; Luke 22: 43). Jesus often spoke of angels (Matt. 13: 14-30, 37-41; Matt. 16: 27; Matt. 18: 10; Matt. 22: 30; Matt. 24: 36; Luke 15: 10, etc.). The Sadducees did not believe in supernatural beings, but the Pharisees believed in both angels and spirits which fact Paul used to his advantage when brought before the Sanhedrin (Acts 23: 7-9). Other N.T. references are Acts 7: 53; 1 Cor. 4: 9; 1 Cor. 6: 3; 1 Cor. 11: 10; Gal. 1: 8; Gal. 3: 19; Col. 2: 18 (where we are warned against worship of angels), and throughout the Revelation of John. There are references to fallen angels in 2 Pet. 2: 4 and Jude 1: 6.
The scriptures speak of the devil’s angels. These are those spirits who followed Lucifer and were thrust out in the war in heaven and cast down to the earth. See Rev. 12: 1-9; D&C 19: 36-38; Moses 4: 1-4; Abr. 3: 27-28, and as alluded to by Peter and Jude cited above.
Latter-day revelation contains much about the nature, ministry, and identification of angels. See 2 Ne. 32: 2-3; Alma 12: 28-29; Alma 13: 24-26; Moro. 7: 29-31; D&C 7: 6-7; D&C 13; D&C 37; D&C 76: 21; D&C 110: 11-16; D&C 128: 21; D&C 129; D&C 132: 16-18. Angels do not have wings (HC 3: 392).
The word angel is used in various ways. A person who is a divine messenger is called an angel. Thus Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Moses, Elijah, and Elias all ministered to Joseph Smith as angels. These all shall be exalted and inherit celestial glory. The scriptures also speak of another class of persons who, because of failure to obey the gospel, will not be exalted and will become angels in eternity. These are spoken of as angels in Matt. 22: 29-30 and D&C 132: 16-18. This latter designation should not be confused with the use of the term angels having reference to the heavenly messengers sent forth to minister to the inhabitants of the earth.

Matt 22:28-30: interior the resurrection, then, whose spouse will she be of the seven? For all of them had her. 29-And Jesus responded and pronounced to them, You err, no longer understanding the scriptures or the ability of God.30- For interior the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, yet are like angels in heaven. Verse 29 precis: those verses are meant to instruct that understanding the scriptures is one element, understanding the ability of God is the different. we could comprehend the two. The scriptures right here confer with the previous testomony verses that situation the concern of resurrection and the ability of God refers back to the ability of resurection. Its no longer likely conversing with regard to the angels no longer with the ability to marry or what no longer... BTW: The Scripture speaks with regard to the advent of angels, for this reason, that's obvious that they have not existed from all eternity (Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 148:2,5). Colossians a million:sixteen-17 explains: “For by utilising Him all issues have been created, the two interior the heavens and in the international, seen and invisible, no depend if thrones or dominions or rulers or government—all issues have been created by utilising Him and for Him. And he's in the past all issues, and in Him all issues carry mutually.” The time of their advent is in no way certainly particular, besides the shown fact that that's maximum in all likelihood that it got here approximately in connection with the advent of the heavens in Genesis a million:a million. it might desire to be that God created the angels right this moment after He had created the heavens and in the past He created the earth—for in accordance to pastime 38:4-7, “the sons of God shouted for exhilaration” while He laid the guidelines of the earth. Now, evil angels, demons can and would have intercourse with people, they're going to address human kind or maybe demonic kind, contained on the topic of those alien deliver abductions and could fornicate with people... i'm hoping this facilitates a sprint.

You have read things incorrectly. Jesus said that Satan fell like lightning, that is quite different than he appeared as lightning.

Angels are also strangers, like Abraham's story. The stranger that told his wife she was going to have a baby.

Not at all. It's just like some would argue that God dosen't exist. Ignorance prevails everywhere.

The word angel means messenger. Angels are not dead people, that's for sure.
