Is Lucifer and Satan different angelic entities? I'd prefer a Angelologist to answer this, but anyone is ok.

Question

It was never really stated that they were the same. And what would be the point of a name change?

Answer 1

Lucifer was created by God,a great, wise, powerful Angel, He was put on earth with a third of the angels to rule the earth.but Lucifer became sinful, and was taken with his beauty and power. He in time turned his angel against God,and he thought he would go and take over god's Kingdom. There was a war in Heaven, Lucifer and his angels lost, and their names were changed, Lucifer was changed to Satan (adversary) and the angels names ,to demons. they were all put in restraints on earth. For now, satan is the God of this world.

Answer 2

Lucifer was the name used to refer to an angelic being (as the best or brightest among angels). Satan is the name used to refer to the character Lucifer after he was cast out from heaven.
Both are literary characters in apocalyptic literature during the Old Testament times.

Answer 3

Allen t is quite right. The word Lucifer does not appear in the original Hebrew in Isaiah 12. This illustrates one of the problems with the KJV [which I was brought up on but now I use the NASV]. The word Lucifer appeared in a Latin translation by St. Jerome in the fourth century. Jerome translated the Hebraic metaphor, "Day star, son of the Dawn," as Lucifer. He put together the words luceo [to shine/be light] and ferreo [to carry/bear] to give Lucifer = light bearer. This is the same person as Satan - identified by his attributes

Answer 4

The name Lucifer is a bizarre and false name that grows out of a purposely bad translation of the Hebrew Tanach. The name Satan is another false interpretation of a angle called S'Tan, who acts similar to an ADA in 'Law and Order' and is called the Accuser in Torah. He has no more free will than any other angel, which is to say "none". The idea of 'fallen angel' or the idea of an angel in 'rebellion' is taken from the Persian religion and has NO basis in Judaism.

Answer 5

Let me answer the Name change issue first. In the Bible times names meant something, and when a persons situation changed there are times that the name was changed as a symbol of that.As for the Satan/Lucifer question they are one and the same, Lucifer meant H1966 הילל hêylêl hay-lale'
From H1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning star: - lucifer.

And Satan means H7854שׂטן śâṭân saw-tawn'
From H7853; an opponent; especially (with the article prefixed) Satan, the arch enemy of good: - adversary, Satan, withstand.
Thus as you can see the Bright morning star became the Enemy of God when He was exhalted with pride.

Answer 6

The name Lucifer occurs once in the Scriptures and only in some versions of the Bible. For example, the King James Version renders Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!”
The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” The Septuagint uses the Greek word that means “bringer of dawn.” Hence, some translations render the original Hebrew “morning star” or “Daystar.” But Jerome’s Latin Vulgate uses “Lucifer” (light bearer), and this accounts for the appearance of that term in various versions of the Bible.
Who is this Lucifer? The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the Babylonian dynasty. That the description “shining one” is given to a man and not to a spirit creature is further seen by the statement: “Down to Sheol you will be brought.” Sheol is the common grave of mankind—not a place occupied by Satan the Devil. Moreover, those seeing Lucifer brought into this condition ask: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth?” Clearly, “Lucifer” refers to a human, not to a spirit creature.—Isaiah 14:4, 15, 16.

Answer 7

nicely, if I understand the story wisely, Lucifer replaced into in fee of heaven's choir or something and he concept he replaced into somewhat plenty the best element ever, much extra acceptable than God. Lucifer challenged God's authority and a bloody civil conflict ensued. Afterword, Lucifer and the angels that accompanied him the place banished to hell the place Lucifer stewed in his sinfulness and became super-sinful and adjusted his call to devil and somewhat plenty dedicated the the remainder of eternity to harm god and god's little ones. So except i'm completely incorrect, which could be so, the variations between lucifer and devil are such as the variations between God and Jesus; they are the two an identical individual, yet with an intensive character replace.

Answer 8

No they're not, to explain (Start long history tour) - Lucifer is the first fallen angle who became satan, the name changed in most history because the latin translation, 'Bringer Of Light' no longer applied to him, also the other fallen angles all have names that do not end in 'el' (of god).
Also in angleology it was the fallen angles that gave us fire and they are also the reason the earth was flooded, to clean out mans and fallen angles children. Next Lucifer/satan is also said to be in constant pain. Hope my answer wasn't to long ;)

I know i answered based on angle-whatever stuff (tired)

Answer 9

Satan means the Protester or Prosecutor.
Lucifer is the angel of Light. Somewhere over time they came to be the same thing. But some people don't feel they are the same thing.

Answer 10

No. Lucifer is the real name of Satan.
