Satanists believe in the power of yourself; your deep, inner you. Not any god/goddesses, prophets or books.
Satanism has no connection with Christianity.

And as far as I know, Luciferianism is a form of Christianity, but... The other way around. Satan = good, God = bad. To put it out short that is.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Lucifer is not in our Bible. You might take a look at this site concerning that "word".

http://www.tegart.com/brian/bible/kjvonly/isa14_12.html
Isaiah 14:12, Job 38:7 & Revelation 22:16 Will The Real "morning star" Please Stand Up...

Satan simply means "Adversary".

To unbelievers, Christ is a type of adversary to them, but to Believers, He is the Savior. So it just depends on how he is viewed according to ones beliefs I think. Thoughts? :wave:

satan occurs 55 times in 49 verses:
satan (Strong's 07854) occurs 27 times in 23 verses:
Satanas (Strong's 4567) occurs 36 times in 33 verses:

Last time used in the OT/OC:
Zechariah 3:2 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary/Satan, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?'
Last time used in the NT/NC:
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary/Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Well, I didn't choose the name for Satanism and Luciferianism, so you might have to take that with the ones who did.

Besides, "Pagan" originally meant "peasant" or "farmer", but I'm none of them, yet I'm a Pagan. =)

No, Jesus Christ is not an adversary to most non-Christians. Why would he be that? He's not to me, I think he was a wise man, if he ever existed.

There are 2 different words used in the NT, Devil and Satan and this is one of the more "infamous" passages in the NT/NC of our Bible. [I think Hitler used this one?]. All "symbolic" and it helps to know the OT/OC to see what Jesus was "signifying" when He said this.

The greek word for "devil" is actually a combination of 2 greek words..."dia" and "bollos" which means "cast". I am still learing the Biblical Greek. :wave:

http://www.scripture4all.org/
John 8:44 `Ye are of a father--the devil/dia-bolou <1228>, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, ........
Revelation 20:10 And the devil/dia-boloV <1228> , who deceived them, was cast/eblhqh <906> into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet [are.]

1228. dia-bolos dee-ab'-ol-os from 1225; a traducer; specially, Satan (compare 7854):--false accuser, devil, slanderer. 1225. diaballo dee-ab-al'-lo from 1223 and 906; (figuratively) to traduce:--accuse. 906. ballo bal'-lo a primary verb; to throw (in various applications, more or less violent or intense):--arise, cast (out), X dung, lay, lie, pour, put (up), send, strike, throw (down), thrust. Compare 4496.

I know very well what Satan and Diablo means, but what I meant in my previous post was that you should ask the ones who named Satanism Satanism and Luciferianism Luciferianism, why they named them that. Since they obviously have nothing to do with their names. :)

But thanks for a closer information about Diablo. ^_^

I don't know how "they" look at the Bible, as I study it using the whole Bible all the way from Genesis to Revelation.
I am translating much of it, including revelation and am finding out how much of it is "poorly/loosely" translated. :sigh:

Thanks for your replies and peace and Love be with you and yours. :wave:

Don't know. Sorry.

Edit to add:You might do a google search for "Lucifer" on the net and see what ya find. Here is one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer

I am more interested in Harmonzing the Bible for now. Wanna help? :) Peace and Love to you. :wave:

Exodus 7:1 So Y@hovah said to Moses: "See, I have made you [as] 'elohiym to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
Ezekiel 29:3 Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The Great Dragon [Revelation 12] that is crouching in the midst of his floods,
Matthew 26:57 And those who had laid hold of Jesus led [Him] away to Caiaphas the High Priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

I've met one Luciferian who believed that Satan/Lucifer had created the world and people, but God came and took the world away from him and fooled the humans by brainwashing them with the bible. Or something like that.

Yes, the bible is very poorly translated, especially the ones translated from Latin to any other language.

I hope you'll get lots and lots of love and peace too. ^_^

As far as I know, Lucifer isn't really a name of a person. It means "morning star", and that's what the planet Venus was (and still is on some places) called back when the bible was written.

I think it's written somewhere in the bible that "Lucifer" fell from the sky. That is, the morning star fell, and the sun rise = morning.

Thanks and I wish the same for you and those you love. Thanks for the conversation and I enjoyed it.
If your ever interested in deep Bible study, PM me. I do recommend this site pretty highly as his views are pretty much how I view the Bible, though I may disagree on some things. He does a good job on Translations also.

His series on the Royal Priesthood and the Book of the Life of the Lamb are very good. Peace and Love to you and yours.

Then you would "enjoy" the Book of Revelation but it uses the WHOLE BIBLE so it helps to read through it first a few times and avoide fictional "endtime books/movies" for awhile. :)

Reve 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael [Daniel 12] and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in the Heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Most western languages today are influenced by Latin and Greece, especially the Spanish and Italian language. :)
And of course we got some from the Arabic language too when the traders began travelling back and forth.
So you're right when saying that. :D

I learned just a few days ago that English has got alot from Swedish, and vice versa, during the 1700-1800's, when the industrial age started. :)

Thanks, but reading longer texts in English isn't my best side. ;)
Though it is interesting to read books and texts from different faiths. Sometimes I wish there were only one language.
And I also wish my faith had a text I could study. :doh:

Anyways, that you too for the conversation. It was good. =)
