THE PROBLEM WITH SALVATION RHETORIC IS THAT IT CAN IMPLY DUALISM
WHERE THE REALITY IS NOT ANOTHER WORLD, BUT A CONTINUITY OF LAYERS OF THIS ONE
I.E. THE METAPHYSICAL EXISTS AMONG US
He draws attention to how even if people were to go mine or cut forest they used to pay tribute to the spirits there. The belief that there was something powerful dwelling there seems to have kept back some delusions of infinite expansion and Dominion over the earth.
goes to what you said about knowing man's place
For the wisdom of this world is folly with God
Corinthians
Worldliness was never a good thing
Ephesians 4:14–15
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ
How am I supposed to interpret this?
If we need Christianity then I vote for Mormonism
It was conceived by a Germanic / Celtic man far away from Judea, and it shows
@devolved yeah dude honestly I don't know much about Mormonism because it doesn't interest me. Not willing to speak towards it.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEPARATE "WORLDLINESS" FROM "DUAL WORLDS"
THEY ARE SPEAKING OF THE VEIL
Why call more layers metaphysical?
You know nevermind it doesn't matter
How can you separate Greco-Roman philosophy and thinking, the foundation of Western civilization, from Greco-Roman spirituality?
Christianity has very strong pagan roots. Many of the saints of the Catholic Church come from pagan deities and heroes who were adopted into the canon to please the converts.
THE IDEA IS THAT PHYSICAL AND METAPHYSICAL ARE A CONTINUITY, NOT ENTIRELY SEPARATE THINGS
I.E. THE ORDER OF THE DIVINE RULES ON EARTH AS WELL
Protestantism is the least pagan Christian sect, and look at how it has become corrupted by egalitarian propaganda.
That's not a fair point. Look at catholicism
Catholicism retians many pagan roots, but see how it now is also turning to degeneracy. The pope is a globalist.
In any case, a doctrine is not to be judged by the merit of its followers, but by itself
The least cucked Christian Church are the Orthodox, which also closest to its pagan roots.
Christianity is not native to Europe. It is universalist Judaism.
COMPED
Jews got their arses kicked in nature, and made a religion about being a loser to cope
Enslaved by Egyptians, waaa
but we'll have the final laugh
My dad (god) can beat your dad
The gods of the Romans became aspects of Christianity, which is Judaism.
Lady Liberty is the Roman goddess of liberty.
She is a statue, not a demigod in Christian mythology
Some Christians like to make statues of pagan gods
they're still pagan gods, not Christian ones
Saints and pagan gods are totally different. Even if both represent say a meadow. The saint is a dead human in heaven and the god is a living powerful being in the meadow.
No, the saints were characters that came from pagan deities and spirits that were adapted into the Christian canon.
