>>17765951 (OP)Well I guess it depends on if you want to interpret those passages to mean that he will end the entire world in the next 100 years, which is not what he's saying.
>>17765961That's exactly what he is saying. Immediate eschatology was what early christians, apostles and paul taught.
That's why you have nonsensical verses telling 1st century christians not to get married or escape slavery because "jesus is gonna be back bro don't worry"
>>17765961You can't force yourself to believe in something if you don't believe in it, just because people around you do.
>>17765961>which is not what he's saying.That is what he's saying.
Two more shitposts before Christianity is dead forever all thanks to you
>>17766022>Two more shitposts before Christianity is dead forever all thanks to youI like to think it dies a little bit more after every shitpost.
>>17765951 (OP)He was correct, that happened and his kingdom persisted upon the earth until the people he died for stopped believing they collectively form his body.
>>17766039>>17766039A godform is thus only as powerful as the collective human belief structures which uphold it.
This is why you dont actually have to believe anything a cult leader of any religion tells you. Its why their godform cannot actually torture you. Its good that christians no longer have much wordly power to engage in violence. If it were up to some of them, they'd be killing witches and hookers.
They have been reduced to yelling bible verses and making empty threats.
Some Christians of course will believe otherwise, in their deluded false reality, their evil god will punish people they dont like in an imagined afterlife. There is enough suffering on earth, the invention of afterlife torture myths should be disregarded for ones own mental wellbeing.
>>17765951 (OP)The Bible explicitly states no one knows the time of Jesus's return is Matthew 24:36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
>>17766090It doesn't say no one knows the time. It says no one knows the *exact* time but gives a specific deadline
>>17766179Jesus is the bible made flesh, by definition he can’t lie if it’s in the bible
>>17766022It dies every time Whites walk away from it.
>>17766781>Jesus is the bible made flesh, by definition he can’t lie if it’s in the bibleThere's a contradiction then. In one verse Jesus says "two more weeks" but in another he says "nobody knows the hour except for the father". So which is correct?
>>17765951 (OP)Christ's return occurs within everyone individually. Churchianity has perverted His message.
>>17766792They aren't contradictory are they? I'm not contradicting myself if I say I'm going to fuck your sister next week but I don't know what day. The only problem is the deadline Jesus gave was wrong
>>17766808>The only problem is the deadline Jesus gave was wrongHow can Jesus be wrong? Isn't he God?
>>17766817The authors of at least some of gospels thought that. Seems like they were just wrong
how many Christcucks actually know Gospels werent written by OG disciples? but some greek cucks writing under the name of OG disciples.
If i write a book under name "Donald Trump", the book is a fraud. So the Gospels are fraud
How can you follow a religion whose scriptures are PROVEN FRAUD?
>>17766834The Synoptic gospels show signs of having at least some of their content translated from Aramaic. Not John which is as you say a complete fraud
>>17766839>The Synoptic gospels show signs of having at least some of their content translated from Aramaic.Probably because some of them were sourced from Q, which was a collection of Jesus sayings written in Aramaic. The passion narratives were likely written down from oral accounts circulating during the time.
>>17766843>a collection of Jesus sayings written in Aramaic.Why didnt this survive?What if we actually do discover it somehwere?
Anon, the entire Bible and every scripture ever written is an allegory on what happens inside each person. You are Christ, Mary, Judas, Adam, Eve, Abraham and everyone else mentioned in the Bible. One of the most basic esoteric principles is that the form is a limitation, while absence of the form is the fullness of being, for example, Guenon wrote about it, although I can’t remember where exactly. This is why trying to prove Christ’s historical presence is a futile effort, because He doesn’t need one at all. Everything you see and experience is a reflection of the intangible principles that have always been there, the world limited by forms is merely a reflection of them, to put it more simply, intangible>physical in hierarchy. This is why looking at the events of Bible, or any scripture for that matter, as historical events first is outright idiotic. It’s like looking at the shadow of something and arguing whether the object that casts is real or not, while simultaneously ignoring the said object that stands right in front of you.
