On the subject of Jesus = Lucifer I offer the following (and also note that there has been no follow up or complaint about the site that Mohammed linked to re Jesus = Lucifer!
I also point out however, that Lucifer is NOT Satan so what is the fuss about?
The key is the morning star verses :
I have been sent this :
"Job 38:7 When the MORNING STARS sang together, and all
the sons
of God shouted for joy?
This verse indicates that there were MANY morning
stars, who were
all created by God. Lucifer, is a FALLEN morning star.
(now known
as Satan) This verse was telling Job about things that
occured
BEFORE creation. (as we know it, pre-Adam)
Jesus is not A morning star, He is THE morning star.
ALL things
were created by Him, and for Him. Read these verses:
BOOK OF COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 1
13 Who hath delivered us from
the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature:
16 For by him were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by
him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
Jesus is clearly the Creator, as these verses so
plainly state.
Jesus become flesh, but He pre-existed as GOD. (see
John chapter 1)
He had to be born to become a man, so that we could one
day become
like Him. (a COMPLETE man in-Christ, not a weak body of
flesh & blood)
Jesus is not just a king, He is the King of Kings!
There are many kings,
but there is only ONE Kings of kings. Lucifer was
created by Jesus, as
a morning star. But he was never THE MORNING STAR. As
John says, Jesus
was with God, and He was God. This is said of NO OTHER
morning star,
angel, or man."
