Beginning in the 2nd century C.E., anonymous Christian authors wrote more than twenty books called 'Acts'. They contained stories about the adventures of the first Christian heroes and the first Christian sects.These books pretended to be history books, but the faithful transmission of historical facts was never their aim. The historical background in them was to convey religious propaganda to the readers. These writings were created in such a way that their authors used historical sources available to them such as: "Antiquities of the Jews" or "Jewish War" written by the first-century Jewish historian Josephus in order to weave in the adventures of their heroes of faith and their completely detached teaching about the afterlife. Ecclesia Luciferi is a heretical apocrypha. According to the statement in 2 Corinthians 11:14: "And no wonder, for Satan himself assumes the form of an angel of light". - the content of this satanic book is deliberately synoptic with the oldest writings of the Nazarene sect, but with a completely opposite theological concept. The book Ecclesia Luciferi is part of the Biblia Satanae Editio Secunda Amplificata, the Traditional Satanic Bible.Show book
