I get they call themselves Christian, but let us not pretend they follow any teachings of Christ

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Let's not pretend whe have any reliable record of Christ's teachings they could refer to.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The records we do have, reliable or not, show what they should be following. Certain versions of the source material even set his words in a different color for clarification. They do not follow these super basic teachings of "be kind to everyone", "be kind to strangers to your land especially since you were once strangers", "don't listen to people who try to lead with fear mongering", "help those who are less fortunate instead of following fortune", etc

We can debate the reliability of the sources for the teachings but that is the standard they themselves say they follow. And they do not.

Things the character of jesus did in the bible:

  • treating non Jewish people worse than Jewish people.
  • break up families
  • encourage followers to anoint him in perfume instead of giving to the poor.

Looks like trumps following Jesus's actions pretty well.

Id be fascinated to hear what record you claim there is.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Vatican has miles of archives just to name one source. Do you have access, no. Do you know ancient Hellenistic Greek or Hebrew, Aramaic, Coptic, etc. to warrant granting access to study? No.

I belong to a host of Orders and Societies that keep the secret stream and pass that knowledge to the next generation.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

If this knowledge is true and good, I dont see why it should be gatekept. Why is it not uploaded online and disseminated for everyone to benefit. Pointing to "secret knowledge" as a source of truth is incredibly silly

Although it's not traditional, it still is a religion. Only difference is title.

They're the same as Islamic extremists, uncannily in every single way, like it's intentional.
