I think it doesn't affect me either-or, since my feet are planted on the ground
@raspberry wdym?
worship of the law
it's not a good way to interpret laws
but why does it have to always be satanism
Who said anything about satanism?
what law are we talking about
how is it connected to the being that is satan
well you said "Worship of the Law is actually Statism"
*Statism*
oh lol i can't read
thanks
is this obeying the country's law?
or their own kind of religious law
obeying the country's law does guarantee that you are a good person since you're respecting everyone else's rights as a human
```statism :
The practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.
The art of government; hence, in a depreciative sense, policy.
The art of governing a state; statecraft; policy.```
depending on what kind of laws
they have
yes ty
that just means people are civilized
In the OT the Church *was* the State, and Jesus called for separation thereof
"A house divided against itself cannot stand"
That was reference to both politics and the psychological state of mind
jesus wasnt a very smart person
Neither was Winnie-the-Pooh, yet both are wise
if he was going to challenge something highly controversial at the time and back then empires didn't have any respect for human life
Rome didn't have any respect for Christians at the time, no, until Jesus was crucified.
no idea why jesus did not gather an army and overthrow the kingdom
and then made the statement
no point of challenging something in a monarch based system where no one but the monarch has power
Regardless, Constantine did adopt Christianity after his crucifixion in order to quell the rioting that followed, mostly because the superstition that arose due to the solar eclipse that occured right after his death; Rome was consumed by darkness, and lit by the fires of outrage.
damn thats some legendary luck right there
However in doing so, Catholicism subverted the teachings of Jesus and the Romans put the Logos on a pedestal, which was counterintuitive.
Zealous worship of the Bible is also idolatry.
Matthew 10:34
**Matthew 10:34 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
Not Peace, but a Sword
<34> "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. ```
I see the growth of new religions like Scientology and Theosophy as a bigger threat to Christianity than Catholics
Revelation 2:16
**Revelation 2:16 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<16> Repent then. If not, I will come to you soon and make war against them with the sword of my mouth. ```
