Christo Luciferinism versus Biblical Christianity: Understanding the Differences

## Christo Luciferinism versus Biblical Christianity: Understanding the Differences

In our quest for meaning and spiritual fulfillment, we often encounter various belief systems and ideologies. One such juxtaposition is between Christo Luciferinism and Biblical Christianity. These two philosophies represent distinct approaches to spirituality and offer contrasting perspectives on the divine. Let's delve into the core concepts of each to gain a better understanding of their differences.

**Christo Luciferinism**

Christo Luciferinism is a belief system that combines elements of Christianity and Luciferianism. Adherents of this belief emphasize personal exploration, self-empowerment, and the pursuit of knowledge. They see Lucifer not as a malevolent figure, but as a symbol of enlightenment and rebellion against oppressive structures.

Christo Luciferinists often interpret Lucifer as a metaphor for human potential, encouraging individuals to free themselves from limitations and strive for personal growth. They focus on self-discovery, self-reliance, and the fulfillment of individual desires. This belief system often embraces a more fluid and individualistic approach to spirituality, allowing practitioners to customize their path based on personal preferences and experiences.

**Biblical Christianity**

On the other hand, Biblical Christianity follows the teachings and doctrines found in the Bible, considering it as the inspired word of God. This faith centers on Jesus Christ, seeing Him as the Messiah and the only way to salvation. Biblical Christians believe that humanity was inherently separated from God due to sin but can be reconciled through faith in Jesus.

Biblical Christianity emphasizes concepts such as love, forgiveness, humility, and service to others. It promotes a personal relationship with God and adherence to moral principles outlined in the scriptures. Followers of this belief system practice prayer, worship, and engage in acts of charity, guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ.

**Key Differences**

The contrast between Christo Luciferinism and Biblical Christianity lies in their fundamental foundations. Christo Luciferinism concentrates on personal exploration, self-empowerment, and intellectual curiosity. It often views spirituality as a deeply individualistic journey, allowing practitioners to adopt a range of beliefs and practices that suit their personal inclinations.

Biblical Christianity, however, looks to the Bible as the ultimate authority for both doctrine and morality. It places emphasis on collective faith, community, and the acceptance of God's plan for mankind. Adherents tend to follow unified beliefs and adhere to specific moral codes prescribed in the scriptures.

While Christo Luciferinism encourages self-expression and the fulfillment of individual desires, Biblical Christianity emphasizes service, selflessness, and submission to God's will. The former seeks personal enlightenment and liberation, while the latter focuses on spiritual transformation and alignment with God's purpose.

**Respecting Differences**

It's essential to approach discussions comparing belief systems with respect and open-mindedness. While Christo Luciferinism and Biblical Christianity diverge in their concepts and values, individuals should strive to engage in constructive dialogue to enhance mutual understanding.

Acknowledging differences does not imply superiority or inferiority, but rather highlights the rich tapestry of human spirituality. By recognizing contrasting beliefs, we can foster tolerance, empathy, and appreciation for the diverse perspectives that contribute to the intricate mosaic of the human experience.

In conclusion, Christo Luciferinism and Biblical Christianity offer distinct approaches to faith and spirituality. The former emphasizes personal exploration, while the latter adheres to the teachings of the Bible. Understanding and engaging in open conversations about these differences can lead to a deeper appreciation for diverse spiritual paths and promote a more harmonious coexistence amongst individuals of varying beliefs.

Move From Moving On To Moving Forward

Moving on and moving forward,

 they are the same thing, right?

Well actually no.

Once you have chosen to see life as seasonal and started chasing fulfilment rather than happiness, the next step toward success is moving on from moving on.

Let me explain.

---

Moving on gives the impression you’ve buried the past and now you're going to build something new on its grave and pretend it never happened. Moving forward is acknowledging the past, for what it is , learning what you can, and then deciding that it doesn’t define you and your still going to move forward with your dreams and in life because nothing can hold you back. You won’t give anything permission to do so. Good on you!

---

You can move on from things and still not be over it, but hiding from your feelings is not going to help you. If you bury half-open wounds then poison will fester beneath your scars. You gotta make sure that you’re not running from your yourself. Trust me it’s exhausting and only leads to making laps around the same old mountains over and over again and those scars won’t fully heal. If you build on the grave of a wound such as this,then zombies from the past may grab your heels and pull you down. 

---

I know it can be hard to face certain things that lurk back there, but you don’t have to do it alone and in the long run, dealing with and owning your stuff will be good for you. Even if you decide that what lurks back there is gone now or too painful and you're not going to give it much thought beyond forgiving all that need it, including yourself, giving it to a higher power and being more aware of the good things in your life and letting time do its work. It’s still important to make the decision and at least let yourself know what you have decided. If you feel the need to reach out to someone, then do it. There is no shame in asking for help, it’s actually really brave and a very loving thing to do for yourself.

Once you have done this, you will be ready to move forward in life and that is awesome on so many levels!

So then let’s get you on to another level with a plan!

Today you get a little bit of homework

Firstly, have a look in your heart and see that you have not buried your past alive, no one wants to get chased by zombies! 

Secondly, write down your dreams, even if they seem completely unrealistically possible. 

Write them down anyway or better yet, why not make a vision board? If you can visually see the goals you're shooting for, then it gives you motivation to actually do the work to get there.Pinterest is perfect for this.

If you're into the idea of self help, then here's a couple of really cool bits and pieces that may also help you move forward, not just move on from where you are right now. I can not recommend the first highly enough! Game changer!

The other two are just useful and nice to have, and it doesn't help that they are super cute! With the third one, those stickers are so adorable, I have so many and use mine all the time, but the idea is that happy planner stickers is what I recommending, they help me stay motivated and I am sure they can help you get stuff done too! Quick reminder the below are affiliate links, I may make a small commission with no extra cost to you if you decide to buy any of the things I recommend. 

The Five Minute Journal: A Happier You in 5 Minutes a Day
(Again,can not recommend highly enough)

Motivational Gallon Water Bottle  - especially good for helping you to keep on track with your fitness goals.

Paper House Planner, Journal, Dairy, Notebook Assorted Colours - highly recommend journal stickers in general, doesn't have to be these ones but these are adorable and so sweet!


That's about it today.

Got a complaint or a comment? Let me know below and let's all together grow!

Move From Happiness To Fulfillment

People that chase happiness will never be happy for very long because it's more about the chase than the object in question.

Happiness is an emotion, it comes and goes because life is up and down. 

Chasing happiness usually leads to unhealthy people with dead dreams and more debt then they know what to do with!

I am not suggesting that the desire to be happy or even the pursuit of happiness is wrong .

What I am against is, the idea that life is all about happiness, that we should be aiming for it in every area of our lives and if we don't somehow that makes us a failure and if we can't hold on to happiness, well then that is even worse!

Happiness is an emotion, it is fleeting, I like to think of it like a butterfly, here one moment, gone the next.

 

---

Chasing happiness will never bring fulfilment, it will lead to frustration. 

You would be much better of chasing fulfilment. It is possible to be  fulfilled but not happy. Chasing fulfilment requires work, sweat, and tears but it is an attainable goal that it is possible to hold on to, unlike happiness. 

Even if you are fulfilled in a job or relationship, you are still going to get your down days, but that deep knowing that what you are chasing is right for you, regardless of how you feel right now, will help you to stick it through the rough patches and make it to the mountaintop. 

Yes life still throws stuff at us, but from personal experience I have learned that I am happy a lot more of the time by living this way because I am doing the things I love and I have no doubt if you started to chase fulfilment too, you would be happy a lot more by default too.

Chasing Happiness is a rabbit hole, it can be a seemingly bottomless pit. Working on things that will fulfill you is like building a house on strong foundations. It may take a while and require more of you but in the long run, it's far more worth it.

Concepts We Build On - How To Jive with life!

Hey hey beautiful, welcome back!

Today we are going to put together all of the concepts we have talked about so far and then we get to start off sharing our first bit of encouraging advice to help you get started with this simple temple living the joy way thing we were talking about.

Let's get started!

Okay, so quick reminder the 4 pillars we built our site on are joy, integrity, vibrancy, and encouragement. We love acronyms and these 4 together create the acronym J.I.V.E

We mentioned in our introductory post that this is a nod to old fashioned family values, and all things vintage because we are all about that.

Again if you're not that's cool, you can stick around if you want to, as long as we can all be respectful here, or else maybe this blog just isn't for you, in which case thanks for trying us out, and we wish you the very best for the future.

Anyway, those of you still here,  let's get back to where we were.

So yes, old fashioned family values.

Here's the thing guys some people need to be focused on family values because without a basic standard, there is nothing to jump off from into whatever other lifestyle you so choose.

We have no problem with people with different views or lifestyles to our own, in fact, we encourage them to share their views with us because it takes all sorts to make a world, and you never know when you will learn something valuable if you stay teachable.

That said, we aim to be a safe place for people who have chosen to lead a life that lines up with what the basics of what Christian faith teaches is God's original plan for mankind.

That is that the man was created first and woman are created to be his help-mate. We are created differently, but still equally valuable. The home works best when families work together leaning into God's original plan, loving and learning together.

Women are answers not problems. 

Men are leaders not lounge-abouts. 

Children can reveal more of the heart of God, then us adults sometimes, due to their simple faith.

All life is precious, but beyond that, we don't comment on peoples' choices for themselves and their own families.

We don't do debates, it takes away from the joy-centered vibrant vibe we are aiming for but we are also not afraid to stand up for what we believe in, right here are the start of this new project. 

Anyway like I said J.I.V.E is multilayered in meaning. 

That's the old fashioned family values bit done, another meaning for the phase J.I.V.E is the art of learning to dance with life. 

Last post I hinted at  our mascot Lambi-lambs. 

This is her time to shine! 

Lambi-lambs, or Lambi for short, is lovely drawn by our house artist Alex Bax. (You can check out his Dievent Art profile here) She and her friends are not Alex's normal art style but that just goes to show he is not a one-trick pony. ( or should that be gentle-colt, where are my bronies at??)

Lambi waving at you because she thinks it's awesome you are here. 

Lambi is our blog mascot and she and her friends help us to give a little clarity and fun to our articles. Lambi loves cheering you on as you learn how to jive with life, and she is the perfect embodiment of what  Hayls, the writer, is all about. 

Life can hit hard sometimes, and so it's really important to learn how to manage changes, especially the ones we didn't see coming. We will be sharing our signature art of change management method in an up and coming post, but for now, it's enough to say that we are really good at handling a variety of changes life throws at us, and we will be sharing what we have learnt with you shortly. 

To give you a little taster of the kind of content you can expect moving forward here's a little piece of an article that will come out shortly. 

Look out for How To move from stuck to seasonal, coming out soon. 

You may be in a rut but you don’t have to stay there.

You may feel stuck, but that doesn’t mean you are. The fact is rubbish times happen to everyone, we all go through stages where we wish things would move a little bit faster like life is not being fair and the world seems to be against us, this is a normal part of the human experience. 

Granted, some of us go through harder things than others, and there are other elements to consider when looking at this whole topic (like tragedy, mental illness and emotional makeup)but generally, what it all boils down to is life sucks sometimes and when It does, it’s really easy to get stuck in a rut and feel like there is no way out but our feelings lie.

I hope you are ready for this because I am about to hand you a key that may just change your life.
The number one secret to getting out of a rut is to stop seeing yourself as stuck and start seeing yourself as just in a tough season. Seasons change, life moves and we all grow older...

There are more meanings to jive but I will leave it to your imagination for now. 

That's about it today guys.

See you next post

Concepts We Build On - J.I.V.E (Joy, Integrity, Vibrancy, Encouragement)

Hey awesome reader, thanks for coming back.

Today we would like to introduce the pillars we built our foundations on. If you have read are introductions post then you will know we love acronyms around here, and our blogs' pillars are based on this.

So to do this, we are now going to look at each word and what it means in the context we use it. Then we will look at a few other little things that tie up what we build our blog on.

The Pillar of Joy

Our first word is Joy, we did say that this could be an acronym of its own we will get to that in a moment.

Joy to us is about chasing fulfillment not happiness. We need it to be our strength when things are not going so well, it is not just a feeling it is a lifestyle.

We haven't made it a secret that Christian faith-based elements will be incorporated into this blog from time to time and the concept of joy for us is the faith-based pillar we build on. 

Building on the concept of simple temple living we talked about the last post, joy represents the spiritual element of our pillars. We put Jesus first, then the fun stuff can follow.

Joy as an acronym stands for

 Jesus

  Others

You

We put Jesus first, and so we take care of others, but in order to do this we need to take care of ourselves so we are able to handle taking care of others.

You have to take care of yourself or else you won't be effective at caring for others or building a relationship with/serving Jesus. 

Rest is super important and this element allows us to build our little blogger house in a state of calm.

The Piller of Integrity.

In an age when super polished youtube videos and crazy- profitable blogging is a thing, it can be easy for people to lie about pretty much anything for money.

That will never be us.

If you sell your integrity, how exactly are people suppose to trust you?

Even when we do bring out products, do collaborations or encourage you to follow an affiliate link, we will do our best to get you a super sweet deal from an individual or business we actually trust ourselves.

If they do something to lose our trust more than once, we will no longer support them because we want to take extra special care of our awesome readers and to be honest, anything less wouldn't feel right to us.

We believe in transparency and authenticity is a dying art, we don't want to contribute to making it extinct online.

This is the soul element and pillar of our little blogger house.

The Piller of Vibrancy

So as is probably obvious, this is the body element of our little blogger house.

If you think about it though, this doesn't just cover our physical body, but the environment we live in also.

Everything we do on this site is going to have a fun, vibrant vibe to it.

Why?

Well, we happen to think that fun can be injected into just about anything, and life throws us enough hardships without us adding to our own sorrows by not choosing to see the glass half full.

Going back again to simple temple living, this does also mean that we will be recommending fun self-care, products, and quirky fun items for your home and wardrobe. 

Expect to see cosplay, blind bags and lots of other happy vibe items recommended here for the young and young at heart. ( age is just a number to us remember)

Also on this note, this would be a really great place to let you know that Lambi-Lambs is our blog mascot. She and her friends will be hanging out here to help us explain our points in various posts and to be your personal cheerleader as you learn to dance with life, but more on this later.

Right now we need to move onto the 4th pillar. of little blog house.

The Pillar of Encouragement

So we have already covered body, soul and spirit in our simple temple living pillars, so what could possibly be left?

Tone.

As we hinted at just a moment ago, our goal is to be your personal cheers leaders as you learn to dance with life. I, (Hayls) am a born encourager.

Nothing comes more naturally to be then complimenting others and helping them to see how awesome they are.

 In the name of authenticity and because being kind can go along way in this world, everything we share with you will be done with a tone of encouragement because we believe that you are worth it.

We don't take for granted the fact that you are choosing to spend some time with us, so we make it our mission to make you feel really special for as long as you choose to follow our work. 

Encouragement is the pillar that holds the other 3 in place and together these 4 pillars lead to the final concept we need to talk about.

It's time to put it all together, it's time to J.I.V.E....next post. 

See you then guys!

Letters To Life 1 - STARTING THIS SERIES AGAIN.

Hello life, its been a while since I've written to you but you haven't exactly been kind to me these past few years, so what do you expect?

I'm writing now because I have loads to tell you, (and because a letter to you is long overdue)

Currently I'm organizing my world both online and off, and I have to say its so refreshing to have everything slowly coming together. 

Leaving London a few months ago was tough, but I'm settling in nicely back home in Wales, and honestly life although I hate what went down a few months ago, I think it was the right move to come home. 

Not really sure where you're going to take me next, but I have some guidance for you, please consider my plans. 

I'm actually planning my future again, which is amazing, but I know how you like your curve balls. 

Please note, I don't enjoy them, but I do my best to work with what you throw at me. 

Anyway, this was just a quick one, I know I told you I have loads to say, but I think we need to reestablish trust first so that's it for now. 

Take it easy sweetie, (yes I call life sweetie) 

- Hayls 

xXx

Introducing Organize It October!

 

Hello and welcome to a new series! 

    I canceled Shocktober again this year because to be honest, this is better. 

The goal here is very simple.

I've been suffering very badly with fatigue and exhaustion.

(If you know anything about the season I just came through, you will know why)

The goal with this series is simply to organize my life in the month of October. 

Then tell you how it's been going in a diary style series.

At the moment, I'm not taking blogging to seriously, I just need to keep my skills sharp.

A diary style series is a great way to do exactly that. 

I get to provide value to the readers I have while taking a more casual approach to my blog. 

 We need to cover the start point so that we can see how I progress through this series.

As I said, I've been suffering with fatigue. 

This is largely down to the medication I'm currently on,

Again the season I just came from was intense! 

I just went back to university and I'm working on a total of 10 projects at the moment.

I'm looking to stream line to just two or three. 

Also  My social media accounts are a mess. 

I'm definitely cutting down. 

I can't do what I could do in my twenties. 

Got to honor the season I'm in so its okay to say good bye to seven projects, at least for now.

My room is still unpacked. 

I moved home to Wales a few months ago and my belongings are still in boxes. 

I will be unpacked by the end of this month! 

That about covers it. 

Hope you're doing well today friend, thanks so much for reading this post.
