You mean perennialism? Guénon & co.

Matthew 7
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

>>18228314
No Guenon was against syncretism, he said to follow one tradition but don't start mashing em together.

>Dude, what if Jesus was God and the Messiah, but also just a man and a prophet but also a fraud and not a prophet at all, it's all the same in the end.

>highest iq: each religion is a contemplation and focus on the same questions and being, but is of itself also inimitably unique, and therefore you must remain with your tradition, or at least be authentic to it.

It's the midwits that think that all religions are equal

>>18228293
Pereniallism seems really big brain but it's not really. Just because there are lots of incoherent religions that cannot in themselves represent the universal truth doesn't mean we can mash them all together despite their fundamental contradictions and somehow arrive at the real truth. Buddhism leads to the same divine truth as Islam for example? wtf is this.

christniggers are so pathetic lmao

>>18229222
Sure, exoteric Islam is pretty far from for example Tibetan Budhism, but Sufi Islam has quite a lot in common with Dharmic faiths.

>>18228321
>and then for some reason jesus says as long as you believe in me you can go to heaven so christians in the modern day sin all the time, don't read the bible, but pray and eat bread and wine on sunday

92:7.3.
The many religions of Urantia are all good to the extent that they bring man to God and bring the realization of the Father to man. It is a fallacy for any group of religionists to conceive of their creed as The Truth; such attitudes bespeak more of theological arrogance than of certainty of faith. There is not a Urantia religion that could not profitably study and assimilate the best of the truths contained in every other faith, for all contain truth. Religionists would do better to borrow the best in their neighbors' living spiritual faith rather than to denounce the worst in their lingering superstitions and outworn rituals.
------------------------------------
94:12.4.
The great strength of Buddhism is that its adherents are free to choose truth from all religions; such freedom of choice has seldom characterized a Urantian faith. In this respect the Shin sect of Japan has become one of the most progressive religious groups in the world; it has revived the ancient missionary spirit of Gautama's followers and has begun to send teachers to other peoples. This willingness to appropriate truth from any and all sources is indeed a commendable tendency to appear among religious believers during the first half of the twentieth century after Christ.

It says the greek word pisteuo, meaning "to believe in", can also be translated as "to exert faith in", and even connote some sort of obedience.

>>18230173
Hey man I agree with that but what about when Jesus said that anyone who consumed his flesh or blood would also be allowed? Seems like an easy way out to me where it isn't much effort or obedience but technically still counts

>>18230296
He doesn't say that. Christ says you will not go to heaven unless you partake in his flesh and drink his blood, but not that it's the sole condition.

This book is for fat retards.

>>18230455
Wrong once again, the book is for fit geniuses.

>>18228293
Really anon? Synchronism is peak midwit abstractionism just saying, "Yah, they are all, like correct in a way" without giving the time of day to try to understand any of the specificalities.

Yes there are some good syncretic works that I would say are high iq, But I would definitely put it as also a midwit stance as well.

>>18230446
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Upon hearing these words, many of Jesus’ followers said, “This is a hard teaching” (verse 60), and many of them actually stopped following Him that day (verse 66).

>>18230473
What is midwit about that?
Certainly such a position is greater than its opposite which says only one religion is 100% correct while all others are 100% wrong.

>>18228293
Syncretism is new age bullshit; astrology for weak minded faggots who can’t into theology nor can they make a decision. If you’re going to be a faggot about it, become agnostic.

>>18229222
Research Sufism. Braindead Wahhabis are destroying true Islam.

>>18230942
Apparently it takes a big brain to realize how stupid it is to think only one religion can contain truth, wisdom or spiritual value.

>I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
>So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Its the same thing.

Try some Steiner

>>18231085
The problem with being a traditionalists who spurns truth outside of your chosen tradition is you end up doing stupid things like crucifying Jesus because you would rather be blinded by outworn traditionalism than accept truth that appears in unorthodox raiment.

>>18228293
If you don't have the balls to claim your ideology is the best then it's worthless

This thread is so retarded it should have had a pepe.

>>18231917
Your post is even more retarded and useless because you add absolutely nothing of value.

So many butthurt reactionaries ITT

Non-dualist contemplatives are not in favor of syncretism.

>>18231901
That is not syncretism.
Anti-syncretism is like saying vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream and no one should eat any other flavor.
Syncretism is saying vanilla is the best but you can also eat any other flavor that your taste buds deem delicious.

>>18228293
> all faiths lead to the same truth
This is the absolute crummiest, most NPC take on religion possible. A.k.a. "spiritual, but not religious".

>>18228293
>none of these are true
Huh

>>18231991
> religion is just a consooomer lifestyle accessory
Americucks should collectively off themselves if they know what's good for them, or I'll come over and fucking do it myself.

>>18232003
Ironically this is the most NPC brainlet take; "spiritual but not religious" has nothing to do with that either.

>>18232020
You have missed the meaning of the post; you are just replying to your strawman misunderstanding.

>>18232022

Lord spare me. If I could punch you in the nuts over TCP/IP I'd fucking do it.

Ezekiel 23
20-21 "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled."

>spiritual, but not religious
This is actually the big brain take. Only faggot contrarians on /lit/ disagree because this board is full of bitter proselytes who feel the need to latch on to an ideology to feel a sense of identity.

>>18232397
Based.
Here 'religious' means institutionalized religion, rejecting the outward forms of traditional organized religion (conforming means being cucked by man-made priesthoods) in favor of the essence of religion (personal spirituality/relationship with God).

>>18229416
I mean Sufism is just heresy imported from India anyway.

>>18229222
Pereniallism doesn't say all religions are truth. It say's all religions contains elements of the truth, in varying degree.

>>18230473
>seeings all ups and all downs of all religions and forming your own spiritual view is more midwit than claiming one religion is the best.
alright, midwit. go cheer for your side, lizardbrain mong.

>absolute divine truth
so islam?
there's a reason guenon died a muslim

>>18232428
Sufism likely came from christian hermits in syria and isn't realy a heresy. Before the 20th century the majority of muslims where part of some sufi order, only with modernity and salafism has sufism become a minority

>>18232428
>>18233624
Cope. The foundations are all in the Qur’an

>>18233621

Yeah, the reason is that Guenon was a degenerate mental midget. Fits right in with your inbred cult.

So zero for some?
