Your post was quite long, so I will have to respond in sections. What you wrote below, which I quote, can essentially be summed up as gnosticism, which is a heresy that attempted to cloak itself in the garb of Christianity.

Of course the Gnostics waged battle against the true Church from very early on. There are writings by the Holy Fathers refuting the Gnostics dating back to the 2nd century. The writings of St. Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons, are a well known example from the 2nd century.

Of course the antecedents of Gnosticism predate the Christian era, and in the time of the Apostles, Simon Magus (cf Acts ch. 8) and Nicolaus the deacon, who later apostasized. (also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles), were figures during the Apostolic era which formed Gnostic sects.

The sect of Nicholas is referred to in the Apocalypse as the "Nicolaitans". (cf. Rev 2.6)

Their belief holds that the word "lord" in the bible designates a being that rules over the Earth...the physical realm. Materialism is part of their religion. Earthly power is seen as the reward for acts that glorify the "lord" they worship.
They view everything as a duality...all the way up to God. They believe there is an equal counter-balance to that which God represents. They believe that God rules over the spiritual realm and Lucifer rules over the physical.
They reason that since we're in the physical world as humans, Lucifer is in charge.
They believe that Lucifer is just as important in the physical world as God is in the spiritual.
They believe that Lucifer is designated in the bible as the "Lord God" while God is called just "God"
