The fictional tale in the Christian bible of the Garden of Eden is a good representation of Lucifer . . . in a Black Light that is:
Lucifer makes His debut in the Testaments as the Serpent in the Garden of Eden pointing out to Eve that God is a liar and you will not die if you eat of the fruit of knowledge, which she did and did not die.
My point, bluntly, is that Theistic Luciferianism is a sham and just another form Abrahamic paradigm, in which the goal is to shame Lucifer.
Actually the Bible does not state that the serpent in the garden was Lucifer.
Lucifer is not a name It's a title. I can be a lucifer, you could be a lucifer, and so could anyone else.What is in a name?
The Serpent is a symbol....as is Lucifer....and their symbology is concordant.

That's because of ignorance.Yes it means Light Bearer...but as a symbol Lucifer is synonymous with the serpent.
That's because of ignorance.
I'll be the first to tell you that I don't know everything, but I do know that the bible never stated or implied that the serpent in the garden was a morning star.LOL
Says you...
You probably don't know what you are talking about...but I might be interested in your reply regardless...
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]Egypt and Babylon did not perceive serpents and dragons as evil, especially as they were portrayed in the Torah (First five books of the Old Testament by Moses) and later in the prophets. Moses was the first person to describe the Archangel Lucifer as the "serpent."[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]Actually the Bible does not state that the serpent in the garden was Lucifer.
I said the SERPENT IN THE GARDEN.Indeed the symbology of lucifer and the serpent is concordant.

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]He wrote the book of Genesis as the result of a vision he had atop Mt. Sinai, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field, which the LORD God had made. (Gen. 3:1)" Clearly, Moses associated the serpent with Lucifer or the Devil (a fallen angel), created by Elohim ( the Word or Son), as was the rest of the angelic creation.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]Now in the book of Revelation from the King James Version of the Bible, the Apostle John confirmed Moses vision, for he associated an angel with the dragon and the serpent, which was the result of the vision he received on the Isle of Patmos in AD 96. He wrote: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: (Rev 12:9)."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]The point being made here is that in the Hebrew scriptures Lucifer was identified as the cause of the rebellion in heaven and the evil in the earth plane. He is symbolically described as the dragon, the serpent, and the Son of the Morning. This was contrary to the belief system of this pagan era, because for them the Dragon and Serpent were universally worshiped as signs of wisdom.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]Yeshua the Messiah in His ministry acknowledged that the serpent symbolically represents wisdom, which confirms the Gentiles belief. He said: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Mt. 10:16)." [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]In the book of Revelation, which was written by the Apostle John, in A.D. 96, which was after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, all references to serpents are placed in the context of evil. The serpent was used in Johns vision to symbolize Lucifer, Satan and the fallen angels.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]Here are the following verses:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]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 (Rev. 12:9 NKJV).[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent (Rev. 12:14. NKJV).[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood (Rev 12:15. NKJV).[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (Rev. 20:2; NKJV).[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times]For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm (Rev. 9:19 NKJV).[/FONT]

Egads with you . . . then do tell us what/who the Serpent in the Garden was?I said the SERPENT IN THE GARDEN.
How do you know Jesus wasn’t Lucifer? He fits seems to fit the bill for me. He basically a fallen angel or sent to earth to fulfill or uphold some duties that his father in heaven sent him to do. He couldn’t go back until his tasks were done. So he either went back to be with his father in heaven or to overthrow him. He claimed after his death he would go back to heaven which is basically saying he would become one with god.
Yes, this is interesting:Indeed...why not?
Interesting idea Gloone.
In my belief Christ certainly existed and was certainly some kind of Messiah..a bringer of divine wisdom and understanding...after all it is wisdom and knowledge that the Serpent and the Light Bearer ultimately are symbolic metaphors for...so the concept is compatible with my beliefs.
