Should Katara have killed him?
You're welcome.
You can find Lucifer on the Fox and HULU apps, too, in case you want to watch the episodes.

I'm going to chip in that there's a bunch of commonly accepted Christian lore that isn't actually in the Bible, including basically everything about Satan.
Genesis does not identify the serpent as Satan, nor does it claim that Satan led the rebellion of angels (messengers created by God, basically) against Yahweh (the commonly accepted name of the Biblical deity). In fact, "Satan" comes from a Hebrew word that simply means "the adversary," the character of "The Devil" doesn't really exist in the Old Testament. I've heard, but cannot confirm, that he's established in the New Testament. Likewise, nowhere does the Bible say that Lucifer is the name of the devil, it means "morning star" & is only used once as part of an insult against a King of Babylon.
Interestingly, most Christians would actually reject calling Satan "God's son." The way the lore goes, Jesus is the only True Son Of God, & any other usage of "children of god" is figurative.
Now, I made the remark of Jesus being charged with blasphemy & treason because...well, that's what he was crucified for (assuming he actually existed). By saying he was the King of the Jews, he insinuated he had authority on par with the Emperor, which is treason to Roman law. By saying he was the son of god, he blasphemed in the eyes of the Jewish religion.
In Christian lore, Jesus is not simply the son of god, he also IS god. There's something called the Holy Trinity, which basically says that "God" consists of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, but also they're all the same person somehow. Evidently, this whole thing was a sacrifice to cleanse Jesus's followers of their sins, & that's why people no longer need to sacrifice animals as the Jews did (do?).
How is Christ not his favourite son? He is the one sharing Godhood with him.
While this is true for the Bible, since we are discussing the comic book and tv show Lucifer, some things need to be added. Lucifer is not the one who tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit, in the Bible it was a snake[though Jesus later in the NT says it was the devil when he is being tempted in the desert] and in the comics it was another angel who did it on God's command. Later in the comics he does the same when Lucifer ask him to test the humans he created in his universe he made by killing Michael[his angel brother].
The name of the angel who led the rebellion vries. It is Azazel in Enoch or Sammael[this is also Lucifers real name, Lucifer is just his job description] in other beliefs. It changes and it doesn't really have a coherent system.
Well, it may be a title or just a name, or even a title that is also a name, but there is more than one mention of Satan in the OT. He was the one that destroyed Job's life in a bet against God[a bet i say he won], so he exists. The thing is, he seems more like he is doing a job[get it?] than being antagonistic against God. Now, God banished the angels that betrayed him to hell to suffer for all eternity, but this guy is here talking to him and telling stories about what he has been doing? Not only that, it was God who called his attention to poor Job, and also told him to go and destroy his life and put the limits to what could or could not be done. The interpretation is that he was more of an angel who had a different job than the other angels, not someone who betrayed God. He also appears later[though since it can be a title, it may be another angel with the same title] and he tells a king to do a count the number of people there, wich is a sin and he is punished by God for it. There is another version where God is the one who tells him to make the census and then punishes him for doing it, since this version was made earlier than the Satan version[supposedly] it gave origing to the "Satan is God's scapegoat" thinking.
Though it was talking about the King of Babylon, many people question wether or not it was Satan. Mainly from quotes saying he walked in Eden, walked over jewels, and many others that would not fit a simple king.
They are not the same person. Jesus is God, his father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but Jesus is not his father, he is not the Holy Spirit, etc. God in this case is like a bunch of people sitting in a room discussing what to do with the universe. Or whatever you call people sitting in a room discussing something.
Christianity is monotheistic, so they're all supposed to be a single deity. I thought about mentioning Job, but I wasn't sure of the significance. It's not really clear if The Satan there was a specific angel with a specific job or if once Yahweh called on him to do this, he became designated as "The Satan" until the end of his task as sort of a pronoun.
Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but Yahweh totally initiates a wrestling match with some guy & has to withdraw before the sun comes up because humans can't see Yahweh without exploding or something.
They are all one god, but they are not the same person. Wether it makes sense to you or not, they talk of each other as separate beings, not the same.
Well, he was called as satan by the narration before he even talked to God, so i guess it's safe to assume this is what he goes by.
Weird, i'm pretty sure he was seen by some prophets. John even saw him sitting on his throne. Isn't that a Supernatural thing?
Okay, well they can say whatever they want.
I stand corrected, it isn't explained why he had to go at daybreak, it just says that he did.
That said, other parts of the Bible do say that you can't see Yahweh's face & live.

Individuality over singularity. There's no "I" in "All" or "All" in "I".
