Feedback on Church of Azazel Pt. 1

Here are some comments on Diane Vera’s, Our core beliefs and Their Here-and-Now Basis

1.) Satan

In this area, the Satanic paradigm is superior and contrasts with the religions which are resistant to change.
Here is where the current conceptions of Christianity and Islam part company on the ideas of new and independent thought.  Both ignore the fact that each of their religions and ideas about god and man were the product of new and independent thought in its time.  Both were considered a new cult upon their inception.  They forget that even though they claim that their new, written revelations came from god, humans had to receive, process and interpret them through the mind.  Even if they rationalize this by saying that they received god’s thoughts, the reception and interpretation still relies upon the mind of humans.  Because of this almost blindness to facts, schisms cause a split in the church body, dividing into another sect due only because a new thoughts occur on the interpretation of scripture and its focus of application.  In the new and old church, this frequently produces the byproduct of both denouncing the other as wrong and against the religion that produced them both.
   Diane reminded me, and I agree with her that this same rejection of new thought causes the same type of division and demonizing of other sects in Satanism that this creates in Christianity.
   So who is right and who is wrong?  Can there be a criteria for deciding this?  I believe there is.  A religion or church that becomes so hidebound that it cannot tolerate or withstand new thought is on its way to becoming either a dinosaur or a dictatorship.The major problem I see is when such a religion becomes widespread and manifests as a major social and political force which endeavors to turn our government into a theocracy or at the least to cause lawmaking to be influenced by their limited sense of morality and “truth”.

Nachash and the Two Adams

 Who and What is Satan Pt. 1  :A series of Articles

 The Hebrew Sacred Texts

 In this series of articles, I will be relating material on the nature and identity of Satan and his emanations.

Zoharian and Kabbalistic descriptions of the adversarial side of god have various names, some of which can be termed as emanations. In subsequent articles I will discuss further how Satan came about, who and what IT is and the various functions of ITs emanations as understood in the Hebrew sacred texts. I will begin with Satan’s part in ITs influence on human kind.

There are distinctions between the two Genesis accounts which describe the creation of the “two adams”. The first adam (man) is said to be “unensouled” and lord over the beasts. The name of the first adam is Nachash, the serpent AKA Satan/Samael. This may be similar in nature to the race of Djinn as in the Quran’s ha Satan who is described as the father of a race that is between gods and humans and can mate with humans, but according to Islam, they are not defined as angels since their elementary principle is fire. They can procreate and can be killed, are invisible to humans but can communicate with them.

 The second adam was created and his wife Eve who were ensouled (contained the breath/spirit of god).
