Is Jesus the morning star

Answer 1

No. Jesus and Satan are two very different individuals. However, there is difficulty between the King James translation of scripture and the NIV and other newer translations of The Bible. There's way too much detail in the problems of translation to go into here, but both Jesus and Satan are referred to as a morning star in the NIV. In the KJ Bible they are not. Even without regard to the various translations of scripture, is clear that Jesus and Satan are nothing alike. As God, Christ is an eternal being having no beginning and no end. Satan is a created being, created by God. God is sovereign, meaning powerful over all, while Satan cannot claim such power. Jesus refers to Satan at the devil, as a murderer. In the desert during Christ's temptations, Satan offered the world to Jesus if Jesus would only bow down to worship him. These two are set apart clearly in scripture. As to the correct interpretation of the morning star, your guess is as good as mine.
