>Two millennia after His Sermon on the Mount
>Filters all of humanity to this day
How did He do it bros?

>live as an ascetic and to have compassion for others.

GIWTM

The Truth has been available to us for nearly two millennia and it just so happens to be extraordinarily simple. Everything else is useless and vain. This world is nothing.

>Matthew5,6,and 7
Which interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount is the best?

Saint Augustine
>Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount
or Tolstoy
>The Kingdom of God Is Within You

Does it work?

Maybe Christianity just isn't for you, op.
Have you tried any of the other religions? It doesn't even have to be an Abrahamic one.

>But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

What did he mean by gnashing of teeth?

The Sermon on the Mount is the most beautiful piece of literature ever written

Well, I guess three replies, all containing nothing but ad hominin with not a single argument against anything that I've said.
This is nothing more than the falsehoods being stripped away, revealing nothing beneath whatsoever.
Gentlemen, we have reached an impasse. I have shown beyond all reasonable doubt the hilarity of your nonsense beliefs, and you in turn choose to cling onto nothing whatsoever but mindless animalistic insults. The real crime is not that you damage yourself by allowing your mind to be taken over by such automaton-like structures of philosophy, but that such pseudointellectualism is allowed to exist in the first place. That indicates a far greater degree of social irresponsibility

Is it really true that turning the other cheek was a sign of rebellion because you could not strike someone with your unclean hand so blah blah blah

Even if you're not religious you have to admit the Sermon on the Mount is one of the most beautiful things ever written

Isiah 43:11
>I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

Isaiah 44
>6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

>7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

>8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Isaiah 45
>5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

>6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

>Wrath is extreme power and extreme power is destruction.

Wrath has no agency, dummy, and is not even a good means of acquiring power under our system of self-interested altruism called capitalism. And "power" does not imply destruction. Extreme power can be regenerative. Go find a shittier board to advertise your pseud book. Try /x/ or /his/.

Pic related is Jesus, telling you to get the fuck off his mountain.

>34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

>35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

>36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

>37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

What did he mean by this?

not true, you've ruined the thread already
the natural destination of all humans born into sin is hell
only through accepting God's mercy and repentance can one enter into the kingdom of Heaven

>Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy,[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Matthew 7:13-14

Not necessarily. He is outside of time, and is aware of everything that happens in time simultaneously. He is not predicting the future, he is existing in it.

>>8507130
That's why it's miraculous. It requires intervention from a power greater than the laws governing the universe.

>'But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

What did he mean by this?

All those California new age hippies are always into Buddhism or Hinduism though.
Western Buddhism is corrupted Buddhism, like some pot smoking hippie who doesn't know shit about Buddhism and thinks its all peace and love when really its about suppressing your emotions till you want to kill yourself like the entire population of japan.

Only edgy western Negroes convert to islam because of malcom x, and even then the west has corrupted Islam, have you read the nation of islam wiki page?
It has aliens and shit.
Not only that but the guy who created the nation of islam, a black supremacist group, was clearly not black, he was white or at least south asian or some shit, google that shit man.

Also i guess someone forgot to tell Malcolm about the arab slave trade, fuck man muslims were enslaving niggers before it was cool.

Islam has this taint of being a shitskin religion in the west, and anytime you do see a white convert to it they always have those crazy eyes like they cant wait to get on a plane to syria

I find Zoroastrianism to be interesting but apparently outsiders are not allowed to convert to it.

Also no one in the west ever converts to Sikhism, im not even really sure what the fuck Sikhs do
