BTW, I don't understand how you get to any other result other that Lucifer = Satan by looking at scripture. I mean, if you say you can't use the bible alone what else do you personally use to reach that conclusion? And what references have scholars used if not the bible alone to pretty much unanimously agree on these being the same person?

I really appreciate that, JoS...I am willing to look into scripture and learn about this relationship. I confess (with hands covering my face) I have never thought about this matter nor done the reading to be informed...I always just assumed Lucifer was Satan. I had what some people call a dynamic salvation....it was awesome to me, meeting Jesus...my point is, I love His word and believe it to the uttermost, every letter, but I am guilty of not being a student of the old testament. I want to become a true student of Gods word. Ok, now I expect Drake is gonna let me have it. Be nice, Drake.
Brothers, where can I begin reading on this matter?

I found this article, linked above, that looks very interesting and certainly shows how there might be some confusion. I will have to literally diagram this in order to understand it better....
In the meantime, I just wanted to encourage all with this.....Venus, the planet called the 'morning star', I recently learned, spins the opposite direction of all the other planets in our system....which gave me cause to worship God! I never learned this in my Lutheran or public schools....but from my childrens' Christian textbooks. Scientists don't have any explanation....
