Satan is not Lucifer. Lucifer is Jesus in angel-form.

The things in this world will not ultimately lead to satisfaction. 
because you say so.

Only God can grant that peace that surpasses understanding.
because you say so.
God and Satan are not the same. Christianity is not what you think it is.
because?

See what for myself? Am I correct in understanding that you are condescending the Pagan because you have had supernatural experiences that cement things as true for you but when I have them it's wrong? Alright.

No, I'm specifically saying that if you spend your life indulging the senses, eventually you will become numb to the pleasures they once gave you.

Paganism by nature is an indulgence of the lusts of mind and flesh.

I am telling you out of love that this will not ultimately be satisfying.

 My faith, my hope, is in The Truth. What survives my death? The Truth. What is eternal? The Truth.



My religion is to abide in The Truth. Eternal life is in The Truth. 


"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."

Satanists worahip the self as God which from what I'm seeing seems to be consistent with what you are saying.

You will meet God one day and finally realize what an idiot you've been. Of course, it will be too late to do you any good. Fool.

Thank you for your support, I simply wanted to call you a dog and a swine.


"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."


And everytime you follow me around and heckle, you only serve to help my case. Keep at it. I am honored.

I can certainly understand the desire for an origin story for Satan. Without one, you have a rather large unanswered question. Where did the greatest evil of all time come from?

The evolution of Satan through the centuries is pretty fascinating. "Greatest evil of all time" isn't really an accurate description of how he's always been thought of throughout the world.

"adversary, one who resists."
"Accuser"

Etc


Satan is the angel of pride, the most beautiful of all angels.

Note that pride is the deadliest of the 7 deadly sins, and is even said to be the root of the others.

Satanism is the worship of the self as god before God. Pride? Get it?

Appropriately, satanic imagery tends to surround pride culture. It's not coincidence, it's illuminati business.


Pride brings about delusion, uncharitableness, destructiveness, schism, heresy, all manner of evil.

Evil that pride itself even blinds people to the existence of.

A clown posts in a public forum and feels followed when he receives a response, paranoia is built into superstitious beliefs. Fancy feeling honoured for your inability to recognise reality.

Show me eternal life.

I always wondered if Jews found it blasphemous to suggest that a divine angel could be capable of human sins like disobedience or pride.

The Truth is not an imagining.

It is what it is. The Ultimate Reality.

And that truly is eternal.

You don't know God, so you don't know eternal life.

You only believe in your fantasy of eternal life because of your childish fear of death, I pity you.

I have never feared death, and I still don't. 

I don't care about dying.

I know what lives on forever.

THE TRUTH.

And that isnwhat I believe in. I have very little to do with it.
