He ALWAYS leaves me on read

cause its an integral part of the sacred text that the belief system is based on lol

This is what I'm saying. If everyone knows about it, and the story is consistently the same... something about it must be true. News doesn't just spread across the entire world and across centuries and millenniums like that lol

there is no real logic that can make sense of all of it and that's okay because Christianity is a faith based religion

it's not like people don't travel

Africa Europe and Asia (Afroeurasia) are all connected, and Europeans colonized the Americas and Australia

also, just because something is a widely held belief, doesn't make it true

White supremacy is a widely held belief, but is it true?

It would be the ONLY story thats been spread like that... It doesnt make sense how almost all religions share so many identical stories.

@Faygo

Obviously religions have spiritual and supernatural aspects so there are things that aren't scientifically explainable so thats where the questioning of "is god real" "that couldn't happen" "the miracles arent real" all those things come from

The sacrifice of Jesus' life was supposed to be the ultimate showing of unconditional love, like your God would come to Earth in human form, and die for you, to set an example about how we are loved and should love each other.

That, as a basic principle of love we should try to be close to, is something in Christianity I think is fairly beautiful but there are some other interpretations of the bible I don't like and I don't like the religious history and the institution that was used as a means to conquer and control (crusades and s***), the religious right in later years is one of the most hateful groups one could think of imo...

But without faith in that religious concept yes of course you don't believe he was a deity and god/god's son, otherwise you'd essentially be a christian

No its literal. According to Christian theology mary was not made pregnant traditionally and didnt have a normal birth, she was blessed with a child as a virgin (hence virgin mary, immaculate conception etc.)

my opinion

jesus?

most of the fans?

going to take an uneducated guess (in ironic blind faith in logical materialism) and say that this is an issue with our observation rather than nature itself

u clownin hard huh

He wasn't always exalted such as he is today. It was more widespread of him being a prophet the same way Islam looks at him.

I would recommend to look into the Council of Nicea. The Council of Bishops decided Jesus' divinity, his relationship to God and also picked the date for Easter.

nah but people do take from old religious thought and attach it to other things

Sun of God = Ra?

Isis Horus and osiris

all that

But why was none of the other folklore spread like that.

China and russia share a border, and they dont even share stories or culture like that.

Becuz michael the angel told Joseph

superposition has been observed multiple times. my main point is that just because it doesn't make sense from a human standpoint doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"nah but people do take from christian language and attach it to other things"
I know there was some movie when a guy was doing some techy stuff and two people had to visit him for some solution. In the movie, he had a mark on his right and left hands and then a big bandage one on his forehead as that one wasn't all the way in yet. In the book of Revelations it says during the Tribulation period (too much to explain in this one post but if you don't know what it is, I can link a couple good youtube vids) people will have to either receive the Mark of the Beast on their right hand, or forehead.

Revelation 13:15-17

The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.…

It depends like there were places where monarchies conquered peoples and forced them to change to practice the christian religion, or like in African countries where missionaries went during colonialism and made them practice christianity while they stole the resources etc

Also when europeans came and forced slaves to practice christianity, but they made sure to take out the part about moses freeing the slaves of course... cause you know.. wouldn't want them to know there was a blueprint about the fact they should be free

some places it got established there before the power structure could oppose it, or the powers weren't strong enough to oppose it when it was established.

China is a different story I believe they clip ya ass for practicing it there lol

i love all that s*** in revelations lol its so vivid

Revelation is like a action movie. Everything is so vivid and clear and he's telling us exactly what's going to happen. It's crazy.

One thing I just found out yesterday is it's actually Revelation, with no S. Been saying it wrong my whole life

Cope

i should know this by now but f*** it im putting plurals on everythings now just to cover up that i f***eds up
