Lucifer
Found: http://www.red-ice.net
From: lds-mormon.com
The word "Lucifer" in Isaiah 14:12 presents a minor problem to mainstream Christianity. It becomes a much larger problem to Bible literalists, and becomes a huge obstacle for the claims of Mormonism. John J. Robinson in A Pilgrim's Path, pp. 47-48 explains:
"Lucifer makes his appearance in the fourteenth chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah, at the twelfth verse, and nowhere else: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
The first problem is that Lucifer is a Latin name. So how did it find its way into a Hebrew manuscript, written before there was a Roman language? To find the answer, I consulted a scholar at the library of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. What Hebrew name, I asked, was Satan given in this chapter of Isaiah, which describes the angel who fell to become the ruler of hell?
The answer was a surprise. In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel. It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference. The Hebrew scholar could only speculate that some early Christian scribes, writing in the Latin tongue used by the Church, had decided for themselves that they wanted the story to be about a fallen angel, a creature not even mentioned in the original Hebrew text, and to whom they gave the name "Lucifer."

THE LUCIFER REBELLION
From: http://www.white-knights911.com/comments.htm
Since the LUCIFER REBELLION some 200,000 years ago, the planet Earth (Urantia) has been in a state of confusion caused by its overseer, Caligastia (devil). The instigating factor for Lucifer and his rebellion may have been in the idea of a better way for evolving worlds, although this is not clear.
The appearance of Adam and Eve (approximately 39,000 years ago) as new administrators on Earth followed the previous administrator’s service with the hope of seeing mankind become more unified in its acceptance of the Supreme Creator God. Eve’s down fall was a lack of Patience, believing she could help accelerate mankind’s awareness by improving upon its genetics.
