they still use jesus' tomb as a church

christianity is just the final form of roman imperial religion

the european forms, yeah

in the middle east too

they are by their nature bastard religions

they just kept their local oriental orthodox approach to christology

this makes the palestinians more pure christian

while european churches are mixed

how are they more pure christian?

they lack the european influence

they are the same thing in practice

I mean oriental Christianity to be clear

as far as I can tell they are a fully maintained Christian community since the original religion in Palestine

so why did they adopt the greco-roman christianity?

in all but esoteric christology that doesn't matter?

palestine was a roman province at the time of its creation

in practice?

why did it spread back from greeceand italy and the balkans?

why not the other way around?

I do not follow, why did it spread from palestine to europe?

they adopted the imperial religion

oh

not t heir local christianity

no, rome converted nearly 400 years after it was created in palestine

their local christianity was destroyed and overwhelemd

yes but they adopted the religion that rome made up around 315 AD

they just made it up

so you are saying you believe the original one is gonenow

of course it's gone

I would not know, I do not deeply study palestinian religion

so oriental christiantiy is just a splitoff of roman christianity?

look at early christian art vs later roman and meieval christian art

christianity was not split then

I mean whenever it split

1054 or whatever

why does christ suddenly get a halo?

like the emperor?

he stole one of sonic's rings

why is he flanked by armed men? why is he enthroned?

how does he go from looking pretty close to an average person in the roman empire in 30 AD would've looked
