The imitation of Christ

For me, it's volcel

What was this literary figure's position on cunny? Was he as redpilled on the matter as Muhammad?

If you read anything else besides the Bible, you are not a real Christian. There is but one book.

Paul, a man who never spent even an hour beside Christ, has created the majority of the mainstream narratives which Christianity has since held to. Original Sin, the backbone of all Christianity, was not even ONCE mentioned by Christ. Not even once did Christ mention His connection to Adam and Eve, a Garden of Eden, or of being here to sacrifice Himself for our sins. Paul and the ones who followed Him are responsible for these and many other concepts. The notion that you just have to have "faith" and you'll be saved, even though James, the very brother of Jesus, said that "faith without works is dead". So the point is anon, do not let yourself become a mindless sponge for every single piece of doctrine taught in Christianity - look to the source of everything you read in the Bible, and ask yourself what authority the author had to speak what they did. Jesus obviously holds the highest authority, if you yourself consider him to be Divine. Do not simply believe in every sentence you find in the Bible - a document written and compiled and bound together by men, and not God. Christ is only responsible for the word's and actions directly attributed to Him, and everything else you must use your discretion regarding whether the person truly speaks for Christ or not, remembering that Christ did not write the Bible Himself.
Personally I am a Hindu, but I see Christ as the Avatar of Lord Vishnu/God the Father following Krishna and Buddha. My best advice for you is to ignore the dogma which the church will try and entangle you in, and simply follow Christ. Do not seek salvation, simply strive to be like Christ, and I assure that salvation, if you care for that, will come, but best of all will be the enlightenment experienced while alive.

Take care OP, and remember to never sacrifice your reasoning ability not your morality for the sake of anything you read, as doing so makes you a cult-member on principle, and is ultimately the selling of your soul. Nothing bad will happen to you by your not believing in X or Y informatiin, but Faith in the Divine is real and brings one to a connection with it that will have a tangible effect in your life. But remember to never sacrifice your true soul in this process, and that nothing bad is going to happen to you so long as you are a Good person, which I'm sure you are.

Posted this to another on /lit/, it's relevant to yourself as well. You use Christ's name yet you speak not of His doctrines. You are not a true follower of Christ.

Same poster here. Christ never once spoke of Adam and Eve, or the Garden of Eden, or of Original Sin. These concepts became connected to Christ through Paul, Christianity's biggest cheerleader, who never the less had no authority to interpret Jesus and His significance, but did so anyway and created the most universal narrative since attached to Christ - of Original Sin - which, once again, Jesus never once spoke of Himself.

The Father/Vishnu, the True God, incarnated Himself as a Jew, in order to subvert their cult from within it, leading them from their commandments and their cultures. Eventually, they sacrificed Him on the cross as an offering to Yahweh.

One knows the represented by their representative - if we examine the figure of Christ, of His teachings and deeds, we see absolutely nothing in common between them and those of the Old Testament, whose "god" is genocidal, nationalistic (literally fights for the Jewish people only, even though he should obviously be the creator of ALL peoples, should he not? Not just one tiny tribe of the Middle East. Literal nonsense.), misogynistic, and war-loving. Considering that Christ clearly strayed the Jews away from their commandments, which were told to them as "unalterable", I can conclude Him to not be a representative of the same deity.

Christ is the incarnation of the True God, who loves all people equally, does not ask for humans to be sacrificed to him as "tests" (a la Abraham, the founding cult father of Yahweh's Tribe), the one who has no religion but might be represented in many religions, and the one who will be incarnating as Kalki at some point in our future to end this Kali Yuga, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth.

I will end add one final post to this.
