DOES "LUCIFER" REALLY MEAN "SATAN?” Here's something you may not know: “lucifer,” which we equate with Satan, does appear in some Bible translations and I have no problem with that. In fact, we can see lucifer in Isaiah 14, where it talks about the fall of Satan, and Ezekiel 28 where it mentions wickedness being found in him. But "lucifer" is actually NOT a proper name. It's a Latin word (derived from the Hebrew word) meaning, "morning star." The actual Latin word is "luciferum." The translators of the Bible's King James Version didn't know what the Hebrew word meant so they literally transliterated the Latin word "lucifer," or “luciferum," or "morning star."; I don't bring that up to get into some tit for tat but only to point out Mormonism's claim that Lucifer is Jesus’ brother and that both were born of a physical sexual relations between God (which can't be because God is a spirit) and one of His wives, which makes no sense on many levels, but even the name they use, “lucifer," is not a proper name. So it can't be a real character in their story of a supposed family squabble between Jesus and “Lucifer.” And I'm only picking this apart a bit because Mormonism claims their gospel is better than the Christian gospel and says theirs was inspired of God. But with all due respect, how can it be from God if they don’t even use the word right, that they base their whole story on?
