This is a debate section. All are welcomed. Be nice. I woke up and chose chaos today. I did not wake up today and choose violence.
OK so that title probably has caused a few eyebrows to be raised. Here's the thing: I read two books on Christian Satanism. A third suggesting that Jesus could be an LHP deity. I felt all three were lacking. So I figure well I wonder if I actually could create a sycretic religion mixing Satanism and Christianity? Just to see if I could make a workable theology not to follow it myself. What might this path look like?
First things first and this is key:
When you sycretize a couple paths together the result is usually not either parent religion. But a new one. It will often leave out ideas from both religions and add some of their own to create a new theology that is workable. So Christian Satanism despite its name is neither Satanism nor Christianity but a mix of the two.
Ok with that out the way how will we create this path? First we decide what form of Satanism we going with. Imma say theistic. It would leave out LaVeyan and TST and other atheistic paths. The reason imma do this is because I know more about polytheism and theistic satanism then I do atheistic Satanism. Also to go with the fact Christianity is theistic.
Who is Jesus and Satan in this path?
Theres three ways we can go about this. One is that Jesus and Satan are the same being just different sides of that being. Jesus being a creator side of God and Satan being a destroyer side. Another way would be to have Satan just be a servant of God one that you can work with in witchcraft. And the third way is to have two deities working against each other. I personally like the idea of Satan being another side of god.God. I think that would be the easiest way to create a workable theology.
is there original sin?
I think in this belief system there wouldn't be. But that's just a guess.
trinatarianism
Honestly dont think there would be a trinity in this system not if Satan is another side of God. But there may still be Father Son and The Holy Spirit. Or perhaps there's a layer of gnosticism and Jesus is not the Son of God.
who is Satan?
Satan in this path would be the destroyer side of God. He would not be evil or opposing god. Rather he would be playing an important and needed role of destruction and temptation.
Did Jesus die for sins?
If there's no original sin then no. But he could be an example of how one becomes a god. And Satan could be trying to lead him away from showing mankind how to become enlightened, etc but not because he's evil. It would be because it's necessary for him to ascend and become a god. Or maybe Jesus is trying to show mankind how to become one with the Divine and Satan has a different path which is becoming separate from God and becoming Divine in your own right. Perhaps the goal of this path is to work with both deities to figure out how one should embrace Divinity.
Ok. So I didn't come up exactly with a solid theology. But I had fun with the thought experiment. Here's another thought experiment I did on the same lines but only LHPers can comment on it. Either way could make an interesting read.

LHP only: could jesus be LHP
Only Left handed path folk. This is same faith debates. This is a thought experiment. Inspired by three books I read. One was on the left handed path in general and briefly mentioned Jesus could be a left handed deity. The other two were on a path a person created called Christian Satanism. I...
