The name Lucifer means "Light Bearer"; the Hebrew for Satan is "ha-nachash", or "false-light"- deceiver and adversary.

True. Some say that Lucifer is Satan, because of Christ's statement in the book of Mark about seeing Satan fall from heaven. Satan is not called Lucifer anywhere in the Bible. Only Satan, or the devil. People that do not serve God, and therefore become children of God, are referred to as being sons of Belial.

True, Isaiah 14:12-14. How are thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thing heart. I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Keep reading the rest of the Chapter to 27.

Very true. Actually, he was the top, head honcho Angel!! So, that is why it was easier for him to sin in his pride...he had/has? a lot of power and thought, "Dang! I could do this! I am probably just as powerful, maybe even MORE powerful than God!" Lucifer was the Angel of Light: Luci- or Luce- means light. He was closer to God than any other Angel or anything else save for Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Now, as you probably know, the trinity does not contain any created beings. All 3 of them have always been. Man...eternity backwards...that one has kept me up MANY nights!! Anyway, Jesus is the true light but Lucifer was supposed to be like a lieutenant to Jesus...the 1st mate...lots of power, just not all of it.

Lucifer is in no way stated in the bible. it particularly is the call of an extremely depraved individual who lived an prolonged time in the past yet nonetheless in the mondern technology that they call him devil too. After some time, the information unfold out of their village (fairly people who're uneducated w/ bible) and concept that Lucifer is particularly devil! Now, human beings perplexed devil for being Lucifer too, however the reality his, devil replaced right into a fallen angel yet Lucifer replaced right into a human.

None.
Lucifer is a mistranslation of morning star, star of the morning, light bearer. KJV used in Isaiah in a taunt to a king that God gave to Isaiah. Since it was translated according to doctrine they thought it was alluding to the name of Satan. It was wrong.
They left it at lucifer because Jesus calls himself the morning star in Revelations. They didn't want the two to get mixed up.
Satan is not a fallen angel. Satan in Jewish theology is an agent of God and an accuser of mankind.
In revelation it talks about the dragon falling from the sky.
Re 12:9 -
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
The dragon is something else all together.
Captializing satan is wrong in this case. In this case it means adversary. who is called the devil and adversary.
Again, translated according to doctrine... grr...

Isn't it funny, the way the "light-bearer" who cast his light into the dark corners & exposed truth there is now also viewed as a "deceiver & accuser"? Maybe this speaks of the way some christians just don't want to accept the truth when it's ugly to them. Somehow, they're priveleged to have it both ways...
truth:good
ugly truth:bad
Of course, even truth is subjective when it comes to belief.
Son of the Morning Star, Bearer of Light, Accuser of Man don't sound like "bad" things to me.

Yes:
Ezekiel Chapter 28:14-15
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
The "anointed cherub" is satan / lucifer before his fall. God created him the full pattern.

Lucifer is not another name for Satan.
***Is Lucifer a name that the Bible uses for Satan?
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.
Why is such an eminent description given to the Babylonian dynasty? We must realize that the king of Babylon was to be called the shining one only after his fall and in a taunting way. (Isaiah 14:3) Selfish pride prompted Babylon’s kings to elevate themselves above those around them. So great was the arrogance of the dynasty that it is portrayed as bragging: “To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne, and I shall sit down upon the mountain of meeting, in the remotest parts of the north. . . . I shall make myself resemble the Most High.”—Isaiah 14:13, 14.
“The stars of God” are the kings of the royal line of David. (Numbers 24:17) From David onward, these “stars” ruled from Mount Zion. After Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem, the name Zion came to apply to the whole city. Under the Law covenant, all male Israelites were obliged to travel to Zion three times a year. Thus, it became “the mountain of meeting.” By determining to subjugate the Judean kings and then remove them from that mountain, Nebuchadnezzar is declaring his intention to put himself above those “stars.” Instead of giving Jehovah credit for the victory over them, he arrogantly puts himself in Jehovah’s place. So it is after being cut down to the earth that the Babylonian dynasty is mockingly referred to as the “shining one.”
The pride of the Babylonian rulers indeed reflected the attitude of “the god of this system of things”—Satan the Devil. (2 Corinthians 4:4) He too lusts for power and longs to place himself above Jehovah God. But Lucifer is not a name Scripturally given to Satan.
