If the material works is evil and the spiritual is most high, why would Jesus eat with his disciples after his ressurection?
Luke 24:41-43
While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.
Dead men do not eat.
As to an evil world. Have you forgotten that Yahweh cursed the earth. If you are a Christian you should see a cursed earth.
We Gnostic Christians see it differently.
GnosticChristian Jesus said, "If those who attract you say, 'See, the Kingdom is inthe sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you.
If they sayto you, 'It is under the earth,' then the fish of the sea will precede you.
Rather, theKingdom of God is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
[Those who]become acquainted with [themselves] will find it; [and when you] becomeacquainted with yourselves, [you will understand that] it is you who are thesons of the living Father.
But if youwill not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are thatpoverty."
As you cansee from that quote, if we see God's kingdom all around us and inside of us, wecannot think that the world is anything but evolving perfection. Most justdon't see it and live in poverty. Let me try to make you see the world the wayI do.
Here is amind exercise. Tell me what you see when you look around. The best that canpossibly be or an ugly and imperfect world?
Candide.
"It isdemonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as they are; for as allthings have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for thebest end.”
That meansthat we live in the best of all possible worlds, given all the conditions athand. That is an irrefutable statement.
Why do you run around this forum attacking people, its clear you are on defense, but why not try to understand others perspectives vs attempting to force yours on others? You are making quite a name for yourself here, especially when people are trying to share their understanding.
not cool man, if this is the 'morality' you are selling, Ill pass.
I attack on defence you say. That is about your speed.
But let me try to do as you bid and understand you better.
Tell me why you follow a God that kills so many when he could cure them just as easily?
Is that what you would do as scriptures say that you are to emulate your God?
Your God is demonstrably evil. Why do you adore him?
Religions are like all ideologies and bask in propoganda and disciplinary rigidity to the loss of personal individualism and creating a singular objective path to salvation thus ridiculing any paths that stray from the official path i.e reject plularism and objective popular democratic critisism. A political cadre of priests, rabbis and imans and so forth destroy soulful independent analyst and thinking and straight jacket the masses to oblivion with their mad evangelical morally purist doctrine.
You are speaking more of the idol worshiping religions, I hope. That would be Christianity and Islam for the most part. They are slave makers as you describe.
That is why I chose Gnostic Christianity and it's morals as Gnostic Christian Jesus free us from religion while the religions want to slave us to them. Governments want the same slavishness of course but they are much better and moral masters than religious Gods of war.
Secular law depends on Yahweh's law. For example, each year the earth not only turns, but also rotates, giving us four seasons. So, if it weren't for that
23.5 tilt of the earth, and the
Goldilocks zone, your ass wouldn't exist-show some respect!
Not when he has uncouth bores like you speaking for him.
I beg to differ with you! Surely you've heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls, archeology, and historians, all testify to the Scriptures authenticity.
Science in both biblical history and archeology belie what you put.
Where have you been in the last 20 years. Under a rock?
Its even better than that.. The Septuagint, which is the OT or Tanakh translated in greek, objectively existed long before Christ, and contains all the prophecies concerning Christ.. Since the secular world cant deny that it existed they are forced to try and deny the mountain of prophecies that specify how Christ would arrive, OR they would have to say the Jews had a conspiracy that they planned for thousands of years to purposely invent Christ, which we know isnt true, the Jews hated Christ, save for a small number, which was also prophesied.
Good research buddy, but you left out that those myths show that the Jewish messiah was to die, rise in three days and stay and rule Israel. Jesus was rejected by the Jews who wanted to test the myth by seeing if he would actually rise again and rule. That was the whole point of Jesus' suicide. He did not return and was thus not the Jewish messiah.
Only Rome could profit from a dead and gone messiah and they sure did by making the world hate Jews without a just cause. Bastards.
