(3) Genesis 2 speaks of the nachash (serpent). It says nothing of the devil, satan, or Lucifer. Paul spoke of the serpent as well but did not teach the serpent was Satan or that it was possessed by the devil.
(4) Perhaps you believe there is a literal seed of the serpent which persecuted Christ and which are literally, physically descendants of the devil?

(1) OK, putting the name "lucifer" to the side; do you prefer another name in lieu?
(2) So you are using a literal (natural) reading of
Isa. 14?
(3) Another "literal" (natural) reading?
(4) No, I do not follow W. Branham...never did.
