You certainly seem to have a distaste for Christians...especially for the fundementalist sort. It strikes me that your argument to make Christ as Lucifer goes well beyond the academic and scriptural, and crosses almost to contempt.
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. I had to sit back into a cotton bean bag chair and take a moment before continuing. 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."

Look no one know exactly what Jesus said, and being as men in those days were mostly illiterate, only the Jewish Priests know how to read and write. Nothing was written about him until 70 years after he "died." (Read that spirited off by the Jewish underground) The Roman Piso Family authored the New Testament, This was written about the year 75 CE.
So even if Christ did spread the gospel, (means "good news") how pray tell can we possible know what it was?

I think this is just one more evidence that too many men have tampered with and corrupted "scripture" for it to be used for anything other than a guidebook. If it is any representation of the real God, then it is a poor one at best.
Somehow, I doubt that God, Jesus, or the devil himself would step forward to take credit for any religious manuscripts on earth. Let alone the bible.

How can anyone still trust the Bible as a source of good information? I say again, not one person alive know what Jesus said, or what Jesus did. If so, please, show them to this thread, and set me straight.

So... if Jesus didn't exist than why are you claiming that Jesus and Lucifer are one in the same?
I'm confused....
