Answer
None of the above, although some cults believe Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate. Lucifer is a fallen angel. Lucifer would like you to think he's equal to God, though.
Answer
Isaiah 14:12
Lucifer, son of the morning." This is the only verse in the bible that mentions Lucifer. Although most Christians consider Lucifer to be Satan (the devil), there is little biblical justification for doing so. In this verse "Lucifer" refers to the king of Babylon (Nebuchadrezzar?) and Lucifer (the light bearer) is also called the "son of the morning" or morning star. The only other person that is referred to in that way is Jesus (Rev.22:16). Does this mean that Lucifer is Jesus?
Answer
A couple things that might shed light. The only translation that names Satan is Lucifer is the King James Version, and that was simply an error i.e. mistranslation. Also Satan in the text is called "Morning Star," and Jesus "Bright and Morning Star," a small hair to split but something to consider none the less. Also in the context of Isaiah it is abundantly clear that we are talking about the King of Babylon in colorful language, not taking a crash course on,"Who is Satan?" "Who is Satan?" is not within the scope of Isaiah.
