Jesus was actually fond of the Roman Empire, it was its Pagan ruling principles he despised

>>9878249
What kind of dumb fucker would hate the Roman State? Is this the alternative Jesus was so adamant about? What a shit idea that was

judaism

>>9878270
what are you racist? everyone knows israel is the only legitimate state

>>9878241
He hated injustice and hypocrisy but was kind of crazy and thought he would rule Israel along with his disciples. Ended up getting executed by Romans, that was treasonous talk for them.

Unlike you're christfag, in which case he's God.

Being fictional is hard on a guy.
You start saying things several different people said or just thought of.
Money problems. Repressive religious dogmas.

A real shame these books became so popular in Anatolia and Greece. The Vampire Diaries of their day.

I'm obviously a dilettante on the matter, but can somebody explain to me why Jesus chose a small religious sect (The Jews) to attach his religion to? The Old Testament has almost nothing in common with his teachings compared to something like Platonism/Neo-Platonism

>>9878331
wow u sure are stupid

>>9878331
Because unlike Platonism which was built on a history of an arbitrary and degenerate pantheon Judaism for all its other flaws aimed to describe a just, loving and absolute God. Which was essential to his message of love and salvation.
Such a message while suggested by Platonism could not be built on the shakey ground of its circus of an ontology

>>9878331
Because he was a jew, genius. All the neoplatonist interpretations came later from the church fathers.

>>9878331
>1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
>3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

This says it all. There's no beauty like this in the Hellenic faiths

>>9878344
good answer, thanks

>>9878331
Im not well versed in Christianity, but didn't Jesus live and die as a Jew? I thought it was St. Paul (or someone else) that took his teachings and turned it into a proper religion with a well defined doctrine. Jesus never intended to found a religion.

>>9878356
To say he never intended to form a religion is anarchronistic too though. Its more he didn't concern himself with whether it should be regarded as this or that.

In either case his act of radically re-establishing the Jewish ethno-cult into a universal message was always going to be radically Heterodox to the established Judaic faith, a split was inevitable.

>>9878356
Basically. During his life and just after his death they called his teachings "The Way" or something to that effect. Then after he died his disciples spread his teachings which later became Christianity and were pretty much all killed for it.

>>9878372

he never did that though, his followers did after they couldn't get jews to go for a dead messiah they took the show on the road and got credulous european peasants to get on board

Gods. There's three of them.

>There's no beauty like this in the Hellenic faiths
The story of Demeter and Persephone is far more moving, sensible and impactful. The later Heracles tales are dogshit, but that's not the ancients fault.

Fake and gay

>>9878396
Absolute nonsense, Christ constantly welcomed and preached towards gentiles. He was unquestionably a universalist

jesus wasn't white

>>9878475
prove it

>>9878492
I think any sufficient reading of the Bible makes it self evidence. The burden is on you to justify why it could be otherwise when you propose a radically heterodox reading

>>9878506
well just point me to those sections and i'll be convinced

If you haven't even read a book, you shouldn't be arguing about its contents. Fuck off.

i'm not arguing about the contents of a book i'm arguing about what happened
