I have....for all of my life wondered.....
God would be FIRST in mind and heart
Someone had to be first
so Lucifer would be number TWO
God's Favored
Keeper of the Light
how about it?
I thought Christ (Jesus) was the firstborn of creation? Colossians 1:15agreed
with the understanding that lucifer was the 1st created and the other was the uncreated recreator

you are the light of the world, a city set on a hill cannot be hid.I thought Christ (Jesus) was the firstborn of creation? Colossians 1:15
I don't have a problem with Jesus being a Lucifer or Bodhisattva. (The Magi who were looking for a newborn king identified as Jesus sound very similar to how the Lamas look for their reborn spiritual leaders.)you are the light of the world, a city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Jesus said: I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Light
and
I AM the Light of the world

You have to put all of this in order to understand. The Morning Star ideal is older than Christianity and Judaism. Associations between this Star and Messiahs, Kings, and what have you, came later through horribly translated texts and/or political-religious agendas.What exactly do you mean by Lucifer? It doesn't seem you are using it in the sense of 2 Peter 1:19. Or are you? If so, then yes, the rise of the morning star within your heart does occur second--#2 as you say.
2 Peter 1:19
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
19 So we have the prophetic word strongly confirmed. You will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Biblia Sacra Vulgata (Latin VULGATE)
19 et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem cui bene facitis adtendentes quasi lucernae lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies inlucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris
SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
19 καὶ ἔχομεν βεβαιότερον τὸν προφητικὸν λόγον, ᾧ καλῶς ποιεῖτε προσέχοντες ὡς λύχνῳ φαίνοντι ἐν αὐχμηρῷ τόπῳ, ἕως οὗ ἡμέρα διαυγάσῃ καὶ φωσφόρος ἀνατείλῃ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν·

I think the part of being created first refers to Jesus in the Bible. While the Bible says Jesus did come to Earth, (fell from grace?) I don't think the Bible says Jesus became the devil. (Although the Bible mentions Jesus being tempted with political power by Satan while he was meditating in the wilderness after his baptism. I suppose he could have become a devil (evil politician-like the King of Babylon in Isaiah 14:12) if he had given in to the temptation.Well, in the bible does it ever say that Lucifer was an Archangel that was created first and fell from grace becoming the devil?
Even leaving off discussion of defining God and Lucifer, I disagree with your characterization that "Someone had to be first" and that someone was "God."I have....for all of my life wondered.....

the other thread didn't mention Lucifer as the ....second.....in mind and heartDidn't you already post this question?
Ok then, my fault.the other thread didn't mention Lucifer as the ....second.....in mind and heart
I brought it forward and posted as an op
as Someone had to be First
someone else had to be Second
that event did not happen in the book of JohnI think the part of being created first refers to Jesus in the Bible. While the Bible says Jesus did come to Earth, (fell from grace?)

It's in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.that event did not happen in the book of John
if I'm not mistaken
yes, I knowIt's in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
you might want to consider......use your imagination
you become self aware
and then notice Someone beat you to it
you are not the First
such would be God's Favored
