Answer 2

God created the angel Lucifer, the most beautiful of the angels. Lucifer decided he wanted to be worshiped like God and convinced other angels to do so, God kicked them out of heaven. Lucifer, Satan, Devil, Beelzebub are all names for the same thing. Isaiah 14:12 starts this read on. I would suggest you get a good concordance because you can look up a word or phrase and it will give you the scripture referance. There are many out there, I have an exhaustive concordance by James Stong. There are others. Choose one that fits your needs and budget. There are verses in Revelation about the judgement, I don't know exactly, but you should read and find these yourself, it will mean more.

Answer 3

According to Jewish teaching, and supported by Job, Satan was originally believed to be an angel that enlightened people through trials and tribulation. If you read Job with this perspective in mind, it makes much more sense. Over time, "Satan", or the concept of, evolved into a tempter and a fallen angel and demons, or other fallen angels, were invented to explain mental illness (take a read through the bible, demons don't appear until very late in the game - also remember that the order in the Bible is not the set by when they were written.)

Answer 4

The name Lucifer has often been understood to be another name for the devil or the satan. This identification has a long history in the church, going back to at least the fourth century. Its origin is actually from a passage in the Old Testament from the book of Isaiah that, to some, speaks of a being cast out of heaven because of pride. Since there is a reference in the New Testament to the devil being cast out of heaven (Rev 12:9-12; cf. Lk 10:18), it was assumed that the Isaiah passage referred to the same thing.

Answer 5

Not specifically. So much in the Bible is up to interpretation.
In mainstream Christianity, the Devil is also known as Satan and sometimes as Lucifer, although most scholars recognize the reference in Isaiah 14:12 to Lucifer, or the Morning Star, to be a reference to the Babylonian king (see, for example, the entries in Nave's Topical Bible, the Holman Bible Dictionary and the Adam Clarke Commentary).

Some consider the Devil to be an angel who rebelled against God, and has been condemned to the Lake of Fire. He is described as hating all humanity, or more accurately creation, spreading lies and deceit around the world. Other Christians (for example, Christadelphians) consider the devil in the Bible to refer figuratively to human sin and temptation and to any human system in opposition to God. In the Bible, the devil is identified with the serpent in the Garden of Eden and the dragon in the Book of Revelation (e.g. Rev. 12:9), and the tempter of the Gospels (e.g. Mat. 4:1).

Answer 6

Well, I don't know much, but as far as I can remember, Judas, before one of god's shepards betraied him for some gold and sold him to the soldiers. That's why he got crucified. I dont' know if this answers your question, but this is a typical case. Also Arcangel, before one of God's angels became a bad angel and turned onto the other side.
Those are the two examples I know about. About Satan, no specific story, but I guess that for evil to exist, there first needed to be good, to contrast.
Bye!

Answer 7

The website in Sarah's answer is a good site to peruse. There is also Luke 10:18 ([Jesus] replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.). This verse also gives us the idea that Satan was an angel, but you wont find a verse that explicitly says Satan was/is an angel.

Answer 8

You can read Job..there is a lot of dialogue between Satan and God. and Isaiah 14, 38, Samuel 16, Matthew 7..All are about Satan.
Isaiah 14:12 (King James Version)

12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Answer 9

Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekial 28:12-18 are taken by most to refer to satan and his fall. Then you have 1 Timothy 3:6 that talks about getting all puffed up with pride like "the devil"

Answer 10

No. But they were still on speaking terms in the time of Job, when God let Satan have his way with God's truest believer to settle a bet.

I still think that the outcome had more to do with Job being a stubborn old cuss, not given to Awe than with Faith. Sort of a "See if YOU can do anything with this guy," thing.

Answer 11

Yes there is. He was the brightest angel in the heavens and he was known as Lucifer back then. His light was the brightest of them all in the heavens. Then he started getting greedy (as all men do when given power) and wanted to rebuke GOD because he was jealous and wanted to be ruler. So because of his unscrupulous jealously, he stated to turn other angels against Jesus and was then thrown out of heaven, where he then formed HELL!!!!!
For further reference, see Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-18
That's it for story time boys and girls.
