You know, Pepsi, I can see you really are confused in matters of the mythology you are referencing.
Yes, the exoteric texts have an esoteric meaning, however, you must interpret it correctly.
There are three deities you are referencing here:
1. Yahweh/Set/Enlil (Righteous and strict)
2.Jesus/Horus/Lucifer (Bringer of the Light)
3.Satan/Adversary/Serpent/Ningishzidda/Anubis/Thoth (Teacher, accuser, God of knowledge and wisdom)

Use in the Bible: In the Old Testament Adonai occurs 434 times. There are heavy uses of Adonai in Isaiah (e.g., Adonai Jehovah). It occurs 200 times in Ezekiel alone and appears 11 times in Daniel Chapter 9. Adonai is first used in Gen 15:2.
Variant spellings: None
TWOT Reference: 27b
Strong's Reference: 0136
Adonai in the Septuagint: kurios — Lord, Master
Meaning and Derivation: Adonai is the verbal parallel to Yahweh and Jehovah. Adonai is plural; the singular is adon. In reference to God the plural Adonai is used. When the singular adon is used, it usually refers to a human lord. Adon is used 215 times to refer to men. Occasionally in Scripture and predominantly in the Psalms, the singular adon is used to refer to God as well (cf. Exd 34:23). To avoid contravening the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" (Exd 20:7), sometimes Adonai was used as a substitute for Yahweh (YHWH). Adonai can be translated literally as, "my lords' " (both plural and possessive).
Further references of the name Adonai in the Old Testament: Complete list available here.
Yahweh is not Satan.
Lucifer is not Satan.
Satan is Satan.
Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
Ye do that which ye have seen with your father” (the Devil)
Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it”.
He is a storm God and head of the pantheon.
Honestly, I'm telling you this professionally and personally - as I said before, I am a historian and a theistic Satanist.
Before you begin to get a better understanding of esoteric meaning, you must first grasp the exoteric meaning properly.
First for Lucifer, you have to understand the notion, Jehovah was the first Lucifer, then came others.
Who ever is king it is SATAN. It's the definition of satan
Jesus is not Horus, there is a huge difference between them, for starters, one was about peace the other was a warrior.
Yahweh is Adonis, Osiris, Tammuz, Chronus, Saturn. The name adonai is officialy used in the old testament.
You have to understand sumerian mythology, many of the gods under different names that came later are the same ones from the begining, it's the same deities.
Check this passages out from the bible
Also when Jesus tells the Jews that their father is the devil, it's in the bible
Jehovan is king of the hill, the devil.
You've been hanging around that kabalah stuff too much, there are other things, here is an advice, quit satanism, you would be doing your self a favor.
This is completely incorrect. The notion of the Morning Star has nothing to do with Yahweh. There is no way to connect him to it, no matter how hard you stretch it.
Actually, it is not the definition of Satan, at all. King is the definition of whoever rules the celestial kingdom. NOT the Cthonic kingdom. The definition of Satan is the Adversary. The Fool to the King, if you will. And we all know who the smartest member of the court is.
Nope, wrong again. Jesus himself pointed out that he came to bring "fire, sword and war." You also must understand that he and his followers were armed to the teeth. You're thinking hippie commune, when you should be thinking Waco.
Oh my, now he's everyone!
Chronus' closest tie to Sumerian mythology would be Apsu. The chaos that was conquered by the Gods to bring order to the world.
Tammuz/Dumuzi/Adonis/Bacchus is yet another separate God to Yahweh. Yahweh has nothing to do with Him. Again, no matter how hard you stretch it, you can't make it fit, because the parallels you're coming up with are purely superficial, and grossly misinformed.

Ēl (rendered Elus or called by his standard Greek counterpart Cronus) is not the creator god or first god. Ēl is rather the son of Sky and Earth.

Adonis (Phoenician "lord"), in Greek mythology, a favorite of Aphrodite, is a figure with Northwest Semitic antecedents, where he is a central figure in various mystery religions.
Who was the Phoenician god Adon (Adonis) and how did his name become "Lord" ... for God come from the Phoenician god's name of "El" as in "Elah," "Allah,"
www.biblestudytools.com...
The word of ADONAI came to me: 2 "Human being, prophesy against the shepherds of Isra'el. Prophesy! Tell them, the shepherds, that Adonai ELOHIM says this: 'Woe to the shepherds of Isra'el who feed themselves! Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep? 3 You eat the choice meat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, and you slaughter the best of the herd; but you don't feed the sheep
My religion IS Sumerian - this is exactly what I've been trying to explain to you for the length of our conversation. Yes, they are the same Gods from the same Pantheon. But they are Legion, and you cannot lump them into one great big boogeyman you want to call Satan, just because you don't like them. They are vastly different in character and archetype.
El and Adonai are difficult for you to interpret because they can be both generic and specific. They are not difficult for me to interpret, because I can read 5 ancient languages and realize the nuances. This is where you're falling down. The nuances are myriad and very important.
Well, of course. If you read the OT properly, you'll understand that when a destructive suggestion is to be made, Satan is sent to do it. It is part of His job, if you will. This does not make them one and the same, any more than you and an elder, higher ranking co-worker are the same person, if you send them to do something. It really is quite simple.
There is no doubt that Jesus and Yahweh do not get along, as they are both vying for the celestial kingship.
But, this does not make Yahweh the same deity as Satan.
Kabbalah has nothing to do with my religion. That is Judaic mysticism. I understand the Kabbalah, just as you should, if you are to get a proper idea of things before you make incorrect assumptions. You should also study Sufism, Gnosticism, Yezidism, etc. It's all connected.
As for *quitting* Satanism - I'd rather slit my own throat, because I love my God.
It does, just because it's not in there in the bible does not make it so, there are other places where this can be found. We can see the story with addonis and the "reflection"
If you can understand what the crown represents, and what adversary really means then you would figure it out.
Jesus is not Horus, Horus comes from something else, Horus was never crucified.
Jesus never battled anyone, Horus did, tho they bolth shared an idea, they bolth descended on earth, they were bolth sons, but that is it.
The apsu is a Babylonian figure, not summerian, you claim to be a sumerian historian yet you mix things up ? in Summeria it is the Abzu, but the Abzu in summeria is not a deity, it only becomes a deity in the Babylonian legends as the Apsu.
Chronus can't be the Apsu, He has a father, Ouranus, that he castrates and takes it's place, since Ournanos was the supreme god, Saturn took over by force castrating his father. If you want to debate on mythology then fine but get your story straight.
I am not missinformed, Adonis is Jehovah. He is described in the Bible as Adonai, or Adoni.
Adonis is linked also to the phonician EL that is in turned linked to Jehovah.
Strange if your religion is summerian, you already mixed cultures and confused them of being sumerian.
Satan can take host in anyone, just like it did in the lord of the old testament. Satan is the lower force, the material than can materialise, satanism is materialism.

I totally agree with the essence of his post, and most details aswell.
I'm only going to quote a bit of this, because really, Augustus is going to have to come and help you with your Latin again. The rest of it is nonsense. To mix up Adonis with Yahweh is unbelievably silly.
Neither was Jesus. A certain other member of his family was, though...
Not true. Not in the least. Jesus was not a buddhist. His group were armed and dangerous. As they should be.
Wrong. Firstly, Abzu and Apsu are differences in transliteration, only.
Secondly, He occurs all the way back to the Sumerians.
What you don't seem to be aware of is that Babylonian magic was spoken and performed in the Sumerian language, as the priests were trained in performing it only that way. The language itself was felt to hold magical properties. Apsu/Abzu/Kur occurs right back in Sumerian times, and is the God responsible for stealing Ereshkigal away to the underworld.
He is seen as both a deity and the actual underworld itself. Do you see what I mean by nuances? You're missing them.
I see. So, you are under the impression that the underworld was born of nothing? I think you'll find it was born of the One. You are the one who needs to get their facts in order.
You are misinformed, if you are laboring under the misapprehension that Adonai and Adonis have anything to do with each other! Sweet Lord of Hell, you need to do some reading! Even the wiki links you provide have nothing to do with each other!

When Jews encounter the consonants of "Yahweh' (YHWH) in prayer, they pronounce it "Adonai." They might be shocked to learn that this substitution word is related to the Phoenician "Adon" and "Adonis." Further, Muslims, Jews and Arabic-speaking or Aramaic/Syriac-speaking Christians might be shocked also to learn that their words for God come from the Phoenician god's name of "El" as in "Elah," "Allah," "Elahona," "Eloh," "Elohaino," "Eli," "Eloi," "Elohak"...etc .

Astarte[1] (Greek Ἀστάρτη, "Astártē") is the Greek name of a goddess known throughout the Eastern Mediterranean from the Bronze Age to Classical times. Originally the deified evening star, she is found as Ugaritic 𐎓𐎘𐎚𐎗𐎚 ‘ṯtrt ("‘Aṯtart" or "‘Athtart"); Phoenician "‘shtrt" (‘Ashtart); and Hebrew עשתרת (Ashtoret, singular, or Ashtarot, plural), and appears in Akkadian as 𒀭𒊍𒁯𒌓 D, the grammatically masculine name of the goddess Ishtar; the form Astartu is used to describe her age.[2] The name appears also in Etruscan as 𐌖𐌍𐌉 𐌀𐌔𐌕𐌛𐌄 Uni-Astre (Pyrgi Tablets), Ishtar or Ashtart.
en.wikipedia.org...
Because of her beauty other gods feared that jealousy would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, and so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who was not viewed as a threat. Aphrodite had many lovers, both gods like Ares, and men like Anchises. Aphrodite also became instrumental in the Eros and Psyche legend, and later was both Adonis' lover and his surrogate mother. Many lesser beings were said to be children of Aphrodite.
Actually, as I have illustrated above, I have not mixed anything up - but you have, and quite badly at that.
As for Satanism being materialism, well, again, you're wrong. You are referring to non-theistic Satanism, which has absolutely nothing to do with theistic Satanism.
You're getting all your facts mixed up, and jumping all over the place, just like you did with your Latin interpretations. You really need to do a beter job of research and understanding. Start out with an open mind.
You really need to do a beter job of research and understanding. Start out with an open mind.
Not really, you should check what is summerian and what is babylonian, Abzu is not a deity in Sumerian culture,
only in the Babylonian culture Apsu becomes a deity.
Don't mix the Abzu with the Apsu, the summerian abuz is where Enki lives, it is not a deity, it's just a watery abyss, in the creation myths the clay is mixed with the Abzu and humans are created.
More proof.
We know that Jehovas consort was Asherah, she is Astarte consort of Adonis.
Asherah is mentioned in the bible but as a bush/tree, she was cut out of the bible, edited out, we know of this, history shows the same thing, some hebrew cults worshiped the goddess, untill it was outlawed.
You are incorrect. You're confused by the fact that He exists both as a place, and the anthropomorphic personification of that place simultaneously. He was the Primordial Lord, both the waters and the Deity. The salt waters have always been feminine.
He is the masculine sweet waters. This is where the idea of the abyss comes from. From Lord Abzu. Apsu only continues the myth in Babylonian, where Marduk was given prominence and the creation myths were re-written to accomodate that fact. If you read the tablets, you'd see that the Abzu contains Kur, or vice-versa. They are one and the same.
If you knew anything about Canaanite religion, you'd see how ridiculous this is. Asherah and Astarte both occur as separate goddeses in Canaanite pantheons. They are never the same goddess. Honestly, please do read more. It was the Greeks who used Astarte to refer to both Asherah and Astarte - as they did with most things, they jumbled them together. Much like you do. Try starting with Mircea Eliade's books.
www.mesacc.edu...
The most significant find was a collection of texts found at the site of an ancient city called Ugarit. Although the pantheon of the Canaanites who settled at Ugarit was headed by masculine deities, the feminine counterparts were not silent partners. Two female members of the pantheon are of particular note: Asherah (or sometimes Athirat) and Astarte. Asherah was one of the two wives of El, the chief god of the pantheon. Astarte was a goddess whose name appears in a list of deities who are to receive sacrifices; however, her name has been preserved by other cultures. At some point in time, these two goddesses were apparently mingled. Of the two, Asherah most closely parallels other �divine mother� goddesses such as Inanna who were common within the region.

aphrodite—Venus Astarte
Of all the Graeco-Roman divinities there is none whose signification is so self-evident to a Newchurchman as that of Aphrodite or Venus Astarte, the beautiful goddess of love. Love is a general term, including every variety and degree of affection, and all the goddesses represented some special affection or love. Aphrodite, however, personified a most distinct and yet most universal love, a love which is beauty itself, attraction itself, happiness itself, and innocence itself,—the love which conjoins man with woman and good with truth, and which therefore is termed Conjugial Love. Hence the goddess of beauty is also the goddess of marriage and domestic happiness, the patroness of laughter and innocent pleasure, the genius presiding over gardens and flowers, and the special guardian of children and young people.
interferencetheory.com...
The reason for my message was to propose a possible connection of these Bosnian pyramids to the Babylonian pantheon of Ba'al, Asherah and Lilith likely descended from a much older Vedic fertility cosmology. The Babylonian or Akkadian (ancient Hebrew) pantheon defines Asherah (Venus) as the wife of Ba'al (the Solar serpent) and Lilith (Moon) as Ba'al's mother into the Underworld or afterlife. This was different from the assignment previously presumed for the Bosnian symbolism.
Also, your own source at phoenicia.org tells you that you are wrong.Read it again and come back here, then. Or I can point out where it tells you that Adonai can be both specific and generic, and was used as a substitutary name for Yahweh. Much as I told you before. The bible itself refers to the weeping for Tammuz and how this is verboten for the Jews. They inherited their monotheism from the Hittites, who worshipped Set exclusively.
Another thing I should point out, is that you cannot lump every deity who goes to the Underworld into just one God. You do know that this is a right of passage and so many of them went through it. This was later re-enacted through the Phaoronic death ritual and the baptisms of John the Baptist.
And you shall burn their Asherahs with fire. And you shall cut down the carved images of their gods, and shall destroy their names out of that place. (4) You shall not do so to Jehovah your God.
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places.
Yahweh and the Gods of Canaan – An Historical Analysis of Two Contrasting Faiths (1968),[7] which insisted on the essential otherness of Yahweh from the Canaanite gods from the very beginning of Israel's history. However, scholars of the Ancient Near East have since seen Yahweh worship as emerging from a West Semitic and Canaanite background.[8][9] Theophoric names, names of local gods similar to Yahweh, and archaeological evidence are used along with the Biblical source texts to describe pre-Israel origins of Yahweh worship, the relationship of Yahweh with local gods, and the manner in which Yahweh worship evolved into Jewish monotheism.
Lost scholars accept that YHWH is made up of Y, meaning "he", plus a form of HWY, the root of a group of words connected with "being" and "becoming". Frank Moore Cross has suggested that the name Yahweh was originally combined with El as "El-Yahweh", like "El-Shaddai" and "El-Elyon" - El was the chief god of the Canaanite pantheon, and El-Yahweh is still found in a few places in the Old Testament (in psalm 50:1, for example). It would have originated as a description of El's appearance and blessing: "El who shows himself".[19] The author of Exodus 3:13–15 gives a similar explanation: God, asked by Moses for his name, provides three names: "I Am That I Am", followed by "I Am," and finally "YHWH":
Yes but that is only mentioned in Babylonian myth, the deification of the Apsu, it's not part of the Sumerian culture. If it is please provide a source with the information.
Markuk is part of the Babylonian culture, he apears no where in the sumerian culture, if you want to study summerian culture, then stick to the sumerian, the babylonians inflated the stories, colored them.
Babylon was indeed very colorful.The truth is in black and white. The rest is how should I put it "Imagination"
A beautiful gift we bear from god or we would all bore out of our miseries, you may disagree since you are a satanist. These are Babylonian stories and have no place in the Sumerian culture.
It's the same goddess, she is translated as the same name, she appears as a dual personification because one version older than the other.

Again, you're missing the point. In Sumerian culture, the Gods were both the anthropomorphic personification and the actual object itself. There is no distinction. Go to the ETCSL and read, you'll see there is no distinction, and that they are one and the same. The source is right there. Do not confuse Enki's temple with the actual Abzu.
en.wikipedia.org...
As a deity
Abzu (apsû) is depicted as a deity only in the Babylonian creation epic, the Enûma Elish, taken from the library of Assurbanipal (c 630 BCE) but which is about 500 years older. In this story, he was a primal being made of fresh water and a lover to another primal deity, Tiamat, who was a creature of salt water. The Enuma Elish begins:
You're just repeating back to me what I've told you. As I said, WHEN Marduk came into prominence. Marduk is the Babylonian assimilation of Asarluhi and Ninib (Ninurta). The truth is in shades of gray, and this is where your lack of understanding is doing you in.
Nope, you're doing it again, lumping every Deity into incorrect packages of one. Asherah and Astarte were not the same in any way at all. It is the Greeks who incorrectly shoved them into one deity. Asherah and Astarte are not the same deity. I realize you are using the idea of twin Gods to assimilate as many as you can to fit your preconceived theology, however, it is incorrect. The twin Gods are male and female, the masculine and the feminine.
I'm starting to think that you're not reading your own sources properly. Re-read what you quoted, and tell me how you could miss where it says that AT A LATER DATE the two deities were assimilated.
And your link from Interferencetheory is a bunch of nonsense. Please use only the literature itself, not other unqualified people's incorrect interpretations of it.
There is no way whatsoever that Dumuzi and Enlil are the same deity. They couldn't be more different. No matter how hard you try to assimilate them, it won't work.
You don't like Yahweh, we can all see that. But that doesn't mean that you can ascribe any traits to Him that you feel like. He is Enlil, the head of the Pantheon. He represents strict righteousness. He is a celestial deity and in no way a Cthonic deity.
Dumuzi is of the younger generation and represents something else entirely. He represents fertility and sex, and he is one of many gods that spend time in the underworld and time above. He has nothing to do with strict righteousness.
Adonis is a young fertility god, a comely youth beloved by Astarte, and represents death and rebirth in an oriental vegetation cult. He is also known as the agricultural divinity named Eshmun.
Dumuzi is neither Yahweh, Lucifer or Satan.
Yahweh/Set/Enlil: Strong storm god, head of the pantheon, strict righteousness.
www.bandoli.no...
Development of Jehovah
The development of monotheism is also different than the version the Holy Book want us to believe. Even the almighty God was once a small insignificant deity. Originally Jehovah was a nature deity, a fertility deity responsible for rain and sun and good crops. All over the holy land idols made of metal or clay are found, both female and male idols.
Lucifer/Jesus/Horus: The bringer of the Light.
www.searchgodsword.org...
The Babylonian myth represents Dumuzu, or Tammuz, as a beautiful shepherd slain by a wild boar, the symbol of winter. Ishtar long mourned for him and descended into the underworld to deliver him from the embrace of death (Frazer, Adonis, Attis and Osiris).
public.wsu.edu...&adonis.html
hen she hears a huntsman's call she entertains a glimmer of hope and apologizes to Death, but she comes upon the corpse of Adonis and the ground and plants soaked with his blood. Venus provides a eulogy and convinces herself that the boar accidentally killed Adonis when trying to make out with him.
There is no refrence of what you state in sumerian culture, the Abzu is not deified, it is refered to as the watery abyss, you are refering to the babylonian apsu.
Come back to me when you have a source from the sumerian culture stating what you sustain.
I know what you want to get at, it's not it, it's "ASH" ERA-H not who you think, she is the real gray. Venus.
Above that I must tell you that you are in error. If Adonis is son of "ASH"erah you can imagine.
It's the same goddess representation of Venus. As for duality you got things mixed up, it's not necesary a male and a female, as in one person, but a AD-VERS-ARY., you calculated it wrong, how is that spin theory going ?
But, I just did give you a source. You need to read everything again. I'm not referring to the Babylonian versions. What you have to do is:
1) Read with the understanding that the nuances between the personification and the generalized are completely blurred for the Sumerians. The thing and the Lord of the thing are one and the same. There's no way to explain this to you in other terms - either you can understand it or not.
My dear Pepsi, this doesn't even make sense, so I don't think you have any idea what I'm getting at. Unfortunately.
This doesn't make sense either! It is necessarily male and female. Different aspects of the male and female are not represented as other than aspects. Inanna is not the same as Ninki. No way, shape or form.
The twin aspect you are referring to is Attar, the male deity representing the Morning Star, whereas Astarte represented the evening star. Both Venus, one male, one female.
Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it has been known as the Morning Star or Evening Star.
Now to address the Dumuzi and Enlil differences.
Enlil or Nunamnir was second only to An in rank. He didn't become a storm god, He always was a storm god. He was central to the farmers, who had their cities at Nippur, Eresh etc.)
Dumuzi was the Shepherd, Lord of the sheepherders who had their cities at Bad-tibira, Uruk etc.
theoceanhunter.wikispaces.com...
From the Semitic Adonai, which means "lord". In Greek myth Adonis was a handsome young shepherd[/b[ killed while hunting a wild boar.
They are completely different Gods. There's really no way, no matter how hard you try, to combine the two.
Yahweh has his correspondence in Set (which they inherited from the Hittites) and Enlil.
Dumuzi has his correspondence to Tammuz and Adonis.
And now to address your "I can't say more," and "I won't tell you more."
This is you backing out, and I understand, because you are wrong.
I just hope that you will listen to me and go back to the beginning, re-read everything, try to understand it properly before you think you can understand the esoteric side.
Again (!) you seem quite confused judging by your mis-informed (and highly ungrammatical) postings on this thread. Why do you insist on stabbing in the dark on matters about which you are not equipped to discuss intelligently?
From the above QUOTE, are you actually claiming that the ancient Levantine ‘dying and rising vegetation fertility god’ Tammuz(i) which crops up under various spellings in the ancient Levantine literature from Egypt to Elam (BCE 2500 to 500 CE) as :
is somehow magically to be equated syncrestically with the warlike YHWH, the desert clan god of post-Exilic Judaiesm – ?!!!!
NB: the idea of the post Exilic (post 587 BCE) YHWH’s physical ‘attributes’ are weirdly described in the Scroll of the Book of the prophet Hezekiel in chapter 1 and chapter 10 as having the exact same description of the Assyrian clan-god ASHUR i.e. having like the god ASHUR, a total of four (4 ) separate face(s) i.e. of the Man, Lion, Eagle, Ox…)
If so, how can this verse in Hezekiel be explained. (see Hez. 8:14 in the Masoretic and Septuaginta) which shows the worship of Tammuzi/Adonis to be ‘ritually Toq’ebah’ i.e. cultically abominable/hateful/unclean to the clan-god YHWH:
Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz.
And he spoke to me saying, "Son of Man, are you able to see any of this?
Amen, you will see things that are even more ritually-abominable (toq’ebah) to me than these things !”
In view of this, how can the dying and rising fertility god Adonis/Attanuz etc. in ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM be syncrestically equated with the post exilic clan god of the Jews, YHWH?
en.wikipedia.org...
Cronus then, whom the Phoenicians call Elus, who was king of the country and subsequently, after his decease, was deified as the star Saturn, had by a nymph of the country named Anobret an only begotten son, whom they on this account called Iedud, the only begotten being still so called among the Phoenicians; and when very great dangers from war had beset the country, he arrayed his son in royal apparel, and prepared an altar, and sacrificed him.
