    Christ and Anti-Christ

    I love this article unironically: Jesus Christ is the Anti-Christ The role of the Christ and the Antichrist is identical, same role, same purpose, same person(s).

    How and why did you reject christ?

    I reject Christianity but not Jesus. But no, we cannot have "relationships" with dead people. I accept Jesus as a Prophet of God/Satan. I regard the Christ and the Antichrist to be one and the same; Jesus. Jesus is the/an antichrist to the Jews, and the Christ to the Christians. He serves a...

    Was Muhammad Schizophrenic?

    Well if what Christians claim about his sayings is true than he definitely was.

    It takes a lot of reasoning to accept miracles.

    Since you're doing a genetic fallacy, I'll post the article itself: Occultic techniques in the Hebrew Scriptures: There are a number of instances in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) where respected biblical leaders were involved with various black magic, divination and occultic activities...

    It takes a lot of reasoning to accept miracles.

    80CE actually. Every single thing we have about Jesus, whether it be the NT or other, all comes from Oral tradition. Your Synoptics are no more or less "storybooks" than texts about Jesus from the same period that were not included in the NT. Your NT canon is not taken seriously by us, you...

    The Mahdi in the Quran.

    It's very fascinating. The theory of the Muqattaʿat being the Maʿṣūmūn al-ʾArbaʿah ʿAšar is something I have considered and have in the back of my head. I am reminded of Hadith such as: Thaqalayn - Hadith Library - Al-Tawḥīd - The Explanation of‬‬ the Letters of the Alphabet. and others like...

    It takes a lot of reasoning to accept miracles.

    Yes absolutely. However though from a Jewish point of view, they'd usually interpret that passage to be about Yeshua son of Nun - who picked up from where Moses left off in the book of Joshua. Jesus was not an Israelite though, he was a Jew. Muhammad was not a Jew or an Israelite but he had...

    International media reacts in disbelief after UK pair upset NZ's COVID-free status

    My immediate reaction is: Damn it sucks, NZ was doing utterly brilliant though

    Why is the Church of LDS of Jesus Christ the only denomination growing in the NZ Christian community

    Hmmm...very fascinating

    The Mahdi in the Quran.

    The whole of Chapter Five of Bihar al-Anwar vol 52 is relevant here as well. It's amazing how heavily implicit it is all throughout the Qur'an (something Sunnis don't dispute) let alone how further it relates to the overarching dramaturgy of Shi'ite cosmo-Imamological-eschatology - but just not...

    Is God Non-Physical?

    Symbolically (not literally of course), there is a lot of power in the Divine Feminine. (of which even the three Abrahamic religions have their controversial equivalents). And I take a lot of solace in it myself,. At the same time it brings to mind the notion of the chicken and the egg -...

    Thomas Jefferson statue toppled in Portland

    You also have a point with this but it still remains, to my mind, a point of ideals around certain principles rather than the actuality of the governmental/political history that has taken claim to them and the figures that have claimed to be somewhat of a 'representative' of them, so to speak.

    Thomas Jefferson statue toppled in Portland

    Yeah I definitely agree with you basically about all those points.

    Thomas Jefferson statue toppled in Portland

    Woah yeah, I see that, you have a point I didn't notice before. It has me scratching my chin with curiosity right now. Truly bizarre.

    Mystical Hadiths

    Here is Hadith al-Haqiqa (Hadith of the Ultimate Reality), a very mystical conversation between Kumayl ibn Ziyad and Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (pbuh): Kumayl ibn Ziyad asked `O my Lord and my Master [= the Commander of the Faithful, Amir al-Mumunin = Imam `Alī, d. 40/661)... What is al-Ḥaqīqa...

    Thomas Jefferson statue toppled in Portland

    I find it weird that people want to destroy statues, monuments all of a sudden in the typical al-Qaeda manner, statues and monuments that have been there for a very long time nonetheless. It doesn't bother me or even interest me, but I find it weird and strange nonetheless.

    Is God Non-Physical?

    As for the concept of personification, I equate it directly with what Christians called "Theomorphism" being the deification of man(kind). Various religious literature from both Abrahamic and Dharmic religions speak of this in different ways. Theophany is never God itself, such a notion is an...

    Thomas Jefferson statue toppled in Portland

    That was a 'spit out my drink laughing' comment, brilliant :D:D Things like these protests and destruction of public monuments (which is a very Salafi-ISIS kind of action btw, it's not really radical, it's just animalistic) isn't really that forward-thinking. People should be more worried...

    Is God Non-Physical?

    If God was material or even resembling a state of being such as ourselves, then it would be creation and not God. It would be a thing and not the source-of-things. It would be conditioned, and not Absolute. Here is Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (pbuh) speaking about God: "Praise be to God who is...

    John's christology and the Dead Sea Scrolls

    I agree, regarding your view of the Christian interpretation. It is entirely illogical, if such an interpretation is correct, for Jesus to be considered the messiah or even a prophet - if those words mean what Christians think they mean. It nullifies all the Prophets from Adam to Malachi etc...
