Satan and the Devil are the same being. The name Lucifer is supposedly the name of Satan when he was an archangel. But I guess Lucifer was a mistranslation from Isaiah 14:12, which is supposed to refer to the king of Babylon and Satan. The following sound more like Satan than a king:
• he falls from heaven (verse 12) • he is cast down to the earth (verse 12) • he had destroyed nations (verse 12) • he sought to ascend to God’s throne (verse 13) • he desired to be like the Most High (verse 14) • he is relegated to the lowest part of the Pit (verse 15)
Still there is only one adversary/Satan/Devil/Lucifer/Day Star/Shining One.

2/3rds of that sounds like gilamesh lol.
Where do you think the Hebrews got the book of Genesis?
I guess when Satan helped inspire Gilgamesh he knew to copy from the best.

Jesus keeps my tight with God partner that's what holds me from satan
Much news to me.
From what I had gathered, Lucifer was a fallen Angel and the name translates to 'Light bringer', FWIW. I always figured he became the devil afterwards. Had his own sweet crib called hell :) He was kinda pissed because God dropped his ass for criticizing. Understandable, to a certain degree.
How much of all this is lore and how much reality is anyone's guess.
I'll take a look at the links you provided. Thanks, man. BTW, Interdasting:
Who is Satan?
The word satan is the English transliteration of a Hebrew word meaning accuser or adversary. It is derived from a verb meaning to oppose.
The word is often used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to human adversaries who oppose God’s people. For example, three times in 1 Kings chapter 11, the word adversary is used of someone who would oppose the king. In these instances, the Hebrew word for adversary is used without the definite article.
Satan doesn't live in Hell, yet. He sets up his headquarters where the action is. When John the apostle wrote Revelation Satan lived in Pergamon. I figure he's in Washington DC or maybe Los Angeles now.
He was kinda pissed because God dropped his ass for criticizing
So you're saying he was permabanned from heaven for using speech that went against the narrative? There's no free speech in heaven? This might not sit too well with some Poalrs.
permabanned from heaven :D
Methinks when you try to please errybody, you please nobody. Don't be a faggoty fag fag. Is what my Sensei told me.
So you think the name Lucifer (Light-bearer; Light-bringer) can be applied to a creature of darkness and ignorance? How is that? Why would anyone name a demon of the Pit the Light-bringer? Does that make any sense to you?
He wasn't always the adversary; at one time he served God.
Sort of like Judas. Jesus didn't call him Judas the Traitor when he called him as one of the twelve. But that's how he ended up. Could've been an apostle with all the benefits.
