It’s a nested cult within one or more cults depending on the individual.
Doesn't their book say something about false idols?
Yeah, something about gold plated ribeye steaks if I remember correctly.
Or we could skip the crucifixion and bury him hoping he'd revive after 3 days.
To bury him again, I hope?
Said it before, and I'll say it again: Excellent!!! When is the crucifixion?
Did Jesus also commit adultery with a porn star, use campaign funds to hush it up and then lie about it?
Or does the analogy not carry that far?
If you believe that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, then I think Jesus would have been cool with a porn star. That said, adultery and embezzlement/theft were things he was definitely not cool with.
PS: There is a Christian conspiracy theory that postulates that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' lover or a very important figure in the fight against the establishment, but because that lessened the mythology of Jesus and empowered women, she was edited to be a removed that Jesus rescues rather than a woman he admired.
It's not a conspiracy theory. It's based off the lost gospels that were found in the Nag Hammadi Library [The Gnostics]. This theory might be from the Gospel of Mary but it might be another one.
It’s from the Gospel of St. Thomas.
Right you are! Only drop the Saint. The Gnostics believed in self-actualization not in divine intervention.
Yes but he’s typically referring to as St. Thomas or Doubting Thomas.
By Catholics. The reformers don't believe in Sainthood.
What does that have to do with anything? It’s meant as a clarification. Catholics don’t believe that the book was actually written by him either.
Because it's not called "The Gospel of Saint Thomas," it's "The Gospel of Thomas."
He’s one and the same. Again, it’s for clarification. The book is supposedly written by the Thomas that was an apostle of Jesus.
From the wiki article: "Most modern scholars do not consider the Apostle Thomas the author of this document and the author remains unknown."
Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is very well accepted
This is surely meant in the same way that scholars don’t actually consider any of the gospels, including Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, to be written by the actual apostles they’re named after. All of them, including the Gospel of Thomas (don’t want to confuse the pedants around here!), are meant to be written as if coming directly from the apostles, hence why they’re named the way they are. Modern scholarship acknowledges that none of them can possibly be written by any of Jesus’ contemporaries but that doesn’t mean that most modern Christians know or care about that. They’re the Gospels of each of the people supposedly credited to them.
I read “embezzlement” in your comment and for some reason, my brain shouted “enshizzlement” instead. Not sure what it’s trying to tell me.
In orthodoxy they completely removed her
Jesus was clapping prostitute ass cheeks tho
Don't forget the foot fetish.
And cannibalism RP
You are assuming that when Jesus asked his followers to eat his flesh, he meant cannibalism.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
wait a second what foot fetish
If I recall correctly, Jesus accepted the sentence without profuse whining.
And asked God to forgive the people, not demand retaliation against them.
These two situations are superficially similar so they're exactly the same!
Tries to stick triangle into circle hole
They are both shapes, so it fits!
No, You don't. You are literally ignoring the teachings of Jesus.
I still can't believe how much blasphemy these nutjobs spew.
What is WRONG with these people?
put text in giant image instead of just posting the text
almost as stupid as backing trump
