The word "Lucifer" appears in The Second Epistle of Peter (2 Peter 1:19) in the Latin Vulgate to refer to Jesus. Jesus refers to himself as the Morning Star in revelations.
Why did the Church turn Jesus into the devil?
The church realized that as symbols have effects on the deepest level of the psyche, associating a symbol of higher spiritual truth, knowledge and illumination with the devil would keep people ignorant and easy to control. Essentially the psychological consequence is they associated this symbol of Lucifer used to describe Jesus, and the word of Jesus with the devil and associated higher spiritual knowledge with fear.
The end effect, people are trapped in chains of fear and guilt unable to advance spirituality and looking for answers, not from within, but from an material source which they are afraid to question and can tell them anything making people easy to manipulate.
