There is no trace of Jesus Christ flavoring in whatever the fuck those "christians" are practicing. Even Satan is into punishing the wicked. These motherfuckers reward evil.
I agree, there is no Jesus is those ideas. Unfortunately, there is some Peter and Timothy. :( I’ve been reading the New Testament on my own as religious exploration. I’ve enjoyed who Jesus is, but his disciples represent more of their times.
Just remember the names assigned to the gospels are not reflective of the actual apostles. John is likely several different people. Paul wrote most of his letters etc.
Reddit's academicbiblical subreddit is very good if you want non-theological takes on the scriptures.
Thanks for that note. I’m reading it first hand without much supporting text.
I encourage looking into how some of the more rigorous traditions interpret it all once you're done. Catholicism in particular has some valuable ideas such as the non-overlapping magesteria of science and religion. The basic concept of which being that if the Bible says something that science counters it was likely metaphorical or a more primitive understanding, as the point of it is to convey spiritual truth and not scientific or historical fact.
I left Christianity myself due to theological disagreements, but there are many paths up the same mountain and I wish you the best of luck in your seeking
Yeah, it was a blast hearing the priest preach around Jesus' words during sunday mass. He died for our sins, now let's cherrypick his teachings to justify ours.
Mmmm holy infant so tender and mild 😋
It's the false prophets and antichrist of revelations. That's their whole thing, using the aesthetic of holiness to convince Christians away from the teachings of Jesus. On their foreheads they wear a symbol of their devotion to the antichrist.
I'm not a Christian and I think revelations was a really bad trip influenced by a fascistic wave during the early Roman empire, especially considering what a shitshow the Julian dynasty was. But still I don't see any good interpretation of their religion that doesn't damn Christian nationalists
You say that, and yet transubstantiation. Jesus flavored wine and crackers every Sunday.
