Bible Answer:
Who is Lucifer/ Satan:
(See the blog posting ….. Lucifer
(It was Satan, who deceived Eve.)
Genesis 3:5,13 KJV
5 For God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
13 And the Lord
God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the
woman said, The serpent beguiled (deceived) me, and I did eat.
(Satan twists
(wrests) scripture.)
Matthew 4:5-7
KJV
5 Then the devil
took Him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the
Temple,
6 and said, “If
you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say,
‘He will order
his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jesus
responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord
your God.’
(Satan, removes
the Good Seed, the Word of God.)
Matthew 13:19
KJV
When any one
heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then
cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
(Satan, sows
Tares.)
Matthew 13:38,39
KJV
38 The field is
the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the
tares are the children of the wicked one; (Tares represent,
unbelievers, children of the devil.)
39 The enemy
that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels.
(Satan is a
deceiver.)
II Corinthians
2:11 NLT
So that Satan
will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
II Corinthians
11:14 NLT
"... Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light."
II Thessalonians
2:9 KJV
Even him, whose
coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders,
(Satan is our
adversary.)
I Peter 5:8 KJV
Be sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(Satan's plan is
to have his followers lead a life of "no" self control,
filled with perversions)
Romans 1:24-27
NLT
24 So God
abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.
As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s
bodies.
25 They traded
the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the
things God created instead of the Creator Himself, who is worthy of
eternal praise! Amen.
26 That is why
God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned
against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with
each other.
27 And the men,
instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with
lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a
result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they
deserved.
Galatians
5:19-21 NLT
19 When you
follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear:
sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
20 idolatry,
sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish
ambition, dissension, division,
21 envy,
drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you
again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will
not inherit the Kingdom of God.
(Satan causes
discord among brethren.)
Genesis 4:8-12
KJV (Cain and Abel.)
8 And Cain
talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in
the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the Lord
said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said,
What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me
from the ground.
11 And now art
thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive
thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou
tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her
strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
I John 3:11,12
KJV
11 For this is
the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another.
12 Not as Cain,
who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew
he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
(Satan, afflicts
with disease.)
Job 1:12 KJV
And the Lord
said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon
himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the
presence of the Lord.

forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils
from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
(Satan, blinds
the minds of unbelievers.)
II Corinthians
4:3,4 KJV

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the Image of
God, should shine unto them.

And as he was
yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus
rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him
again to his father.
Luke 13:16 KJV
And ought not
this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
(Satan causes
jealousy, hatred and wars.)
Genesis 37:3,4
KJV
3 Now Israel
loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of
his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
4 And when his
brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren,
they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
James 4:1-3 KJV
1 From whence
come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your
lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and
have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight
and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and
receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your
lusts.

16 And from that
time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

For the love of
money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows.

NLT
4 Saul groaned
to his armor bearer, “Take your sword and kill me before these
pagan Philistines come to run me through and taunt and torture me.”
But his armor bearer was afraid and would not do it. So Saul took his
own sword and fell on it.
5 When his armor
bearer realized that Saul was dead, he fell on his own sword and died
beside the king.
Matthew 27:3-5
KJV
3 Then Judas,
which had betrayed Him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented
himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have
sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said,
What is that to us? see thou to that.
5 And he cast
down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and
hanged himself.

might salute him.
11 And Samuel
said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the
people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the
days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together
at Michmash;
12 Therefore
said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I
have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore,
and offered a burnt offering.
13 And Samuel
said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the
commandment of the Lord thy God, which He commanded thee: for now
would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 But now thy
kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his
own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his
people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded
thee.
II Samuel 24:10

taken the census, David’s conscience began to bother him. And he
said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly by taking this census.
Please forgive my guilt, Lord, for doing this foolish thing.”

thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
