Date: July 26th, 2024 7:59 PM Author: ungodly new version stead How can that be true if the Christianity following 380 AD bore basically no resemblance to Christianity from, say, 300 AD?
Are you remotely aware that around 380 AD Persian Mithraism was gaining a major foothold in Rome, especially with the military and one of the main purposes of adopting Christianity was to stop that spread? And that, in order to accomplish the foregoing, they basically just copied a fuck ton of Mithraism into Christianity? Even the costumes worn by clergy was straight up copied from Persian Magi. The day for Christmas was taken from the celebration of the birthday for Mitrha. I can list like 100 other examples.
And that ignores all of the MAJOR Persian ripoffs that existed in pre-380 christianity.

You can't deconstruct the veracity of the incarnate Word of God in Jesus Christ by casting Christianity's religious practices as cultural homage. Those are 2 separate levels of reality.

Date: July 26th, 2024 8:12 PM Author: ungodly new version stead You shouldn't even use the word demonic unless you deeply understand Mithra, Prometheus, Enki, Thoth -- or unless you understand the conflict between Devas and Asuras and why Devas are generally good to the Hindus with Asuras generally bad, and why it's vice versa for Persians.

They have extremely non-Christian esoteric beliefs. |

All that "sola fide" and "sola scriptura" fails to deal with the fact that all the presuppositions underlying faith and sculpture are fraud for the reasons ITT. Not to mention the fact that Luther and various other Protestant reformers were openly copying or channeling Persian philosophy and/or Greek philosophy taken directly from Persian philosophy.

Date: July 26th, 2024 8:24 PM Author: purple contagious keepsake machete early christianity was a weird amalgamation of greek philosophy, roman political structures (-> ecclesiastical structures), and jewish history/lore/myth, with a ton of other eastern peoples like armenians, syriacs, whatever the hell all made up north africa, etc. etc., mixed in. why single out persia? mithraism, if that's your focus, is so shrouded in mystery that we have no idea what it even entailed or how deeply engrained it was in roman society, let alone how closely it was actually related to anything meaningfully persian. moreover, all sorts of other eastern cults (cybele, isis, etc.) were also huge in rome, and julian's revival, which must've shaped christianity somewhat as the most serious challenge it faced, was more or less straight alexandrian/athenian neoplatonism.
