  • The devil was gods, favorite angel.."was"
  • whatever gave you that idea. noooo... then we all would be doomed. more like distanced associate.
  • no, he is a created being. God is not created. Jesus, is not created. In John 1:1, it reads "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God." We learn in v 17 that the Word is Jesus. I do not pretend to understand how God can be three in one, but Bible teaching is clear.
  • Not in Christian mythology. But in Greek mythology, Hades, the god of the underworld, is the brother of Zeus, the god of the sky. 1) "Hades (from Greek ᾍδης, HadÄ“s, originally Ἅιδης, HaidÄ“s or Άΐδης, AidÄ“s, probably from Indo-European *nÌ¥-wid- 'unseen') refers both to the ancient Greek underworld, the abode of Hades, and to the god of the dead himself. Hades in Homer referred just to the god; ᾍδου, Haidou its genitive, was an elision of "the house of Hades." Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the universe ruling the underworld, sky, and sea, respectively. Because of his association with the underworld, Hades is often interpreted as a grim figure. Hades was also called Plouto (from Greek Πλούτων Ploutōn), and by this name known as "the unseen one", or "the rich one". In Roman mythology, Hades/Pluto was called Dis Pater and Orcus. The corresponding Etruscan god was Aita. The symbols associated with him are the bident and the three-headed dog, Cerberus. In Christian theology, the term hades refers to the abode of the dead, where the dead await Judgement Day either at peace or in torment (see Hades in Christianity below)."

The word Lucifer was the translation of the Septuagint Greek heosphoros, ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer"; itself the translation of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar, Son of Dawn), used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity. Passage 14:12 from the Book of Isaiah (see below) referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common interpretation in Christian belief that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan. Modern and late Medieval Christian thought derived from this interpretation the idea that Lucifer is a fallen angel who is Satan, the embodiment of evil and an enemy of God. In Christian literature and legend, Lucifer is generally considered to have been a prominent archangel in heaven, although Book of Ezekiel 28:14 says: "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there." In the fully-developed theme of "The War of Heaven", Lucifer had been motivated by pride to lead a revolution against God. When the rebellion failed, Lucifer was cast out of heaven, along with a third of the heavenly host, and came to reside in the world."

  • He is God's creation. Lucifer just got jealous and had a big hissy fit. That's why he got kicked out of cloud nine.
  • That depends on your religion. To one christian denomination Jesus and Lucifer are brothers. In that same denomination Christ is the elder brother of all of us humans. I will leave you to determine which of these faiths I am pointing to. I guess that Makes the Devil our older brother too.
  • That depends on your religion. In some religions, Lucifer is Diana's brother (Goddess's brother), in some religions Lucifer is God... In mainstream Christian mythology, no.
  • It depends on your faith, do you belive he is or do you belive oltherwise? you will get many answers to this question and they are all right in that the people answering them belive in what they're answering. in turn you must learn what you belive in and that will be the correct answer for you.
