Did the Egyptian religion have any part in creating the concepts of Satan or Lucifer?

Answer 1

No. Satan represents a dualism that was foreign to the Egyptian religion. Satan was never mentioned in books of the Hebrew Bible written before the Babylonian Exile, when the Jews came into contact with the Persians. The Persian religion had a dualistic concept, with Ahura Mazda as the supreme god and Angra Mainyu, or Ahriman, as the wholly evil adversary.

The Christian concept of Lucifer as another name for Satan came about in quite a strange way. Its origins can be found in Isaiah chapter 14, which talks of the pomp and splendour of the king of Babylon, who had ruled the nations in anger, and his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the morning star (Lucifer, from Latin) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. He has become weak and like one of us; he will go to hell. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one. This is an interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures with which Judaism has never agreed.
