11. Who was Lucifer?

The Mormons say that Jesus is the “spirit brother” of Lucifer and of all mankind. He was created by a procreative act between Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Jesus is not our created spirit brother. He is our eternal God who created everything including Lucifer and mankind. Citing – Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 7:3; Hebrews 1:8; Colossians 1:15-18 They say that Jesus and Lucifer each offered competing plans of salvation. When Jesus’ plan was chosen over Lucifer’s plan, 1/3 of God’s spirit children followed Lucifer in rebelling.

So just 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. Jehovah never mentioned to those reading the Bible what Satan's actual name was. Satan means resister. It is not the Devils name.

If the Mormons refer to Lucifer as being Satan, Satan never offered a “salvation plan” because only Jehovah God is able to be provide the savior and the plan to or for our ultimate salvation. Satan has only one plan and that is to turn away anyone from worshiping Jehovah and he doesn't care by what means is used to accomplish that purpose. Satan and his demonic angles fell (or were expelled) from heaven because he (Satan) wanted to be exalted “like” God himself. – Isaiah 45:21-22; 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:2-10


As with all my research, it is ongoing and always under construction. So whatever you may be reading, there's a good chance it will change by the time you read it a second time. As I learn more about the Mormon teaching, I will post it and revise what I have written.
