You're not a Christian then, and you were being dishonest by advocating Orthodoxy. You're just a modernist with an aesthetic.
Before changing your position, you were advocating Orthodox Christianity.
Because your responses don't make any sense and it's clearly just a ploy to pretend not to be jewish while pushing jewish values. I want you to give an actual account for it.
Telegram but I've been told they have a copy of your keys or something on their server so maybe that doesn't count.
If it doesn't count then I guess I don't use any outside of Nostr DM's.
So you accept the gospels' account of Jesus' words, but not the narration surrounding it?
You realize the people who chose which accounts got preserved were the same ones who interpreted it through the rest of the New Testament, yeah? And that New Testament affirms the Old Testament and the institutional authority of the later church?
You either accept all of it, as a branch of judaism, or you accept none of it. This in between position of a judaism-free Christianity just doesn't make historical sense.
If you need some guru as an icon, pick one whose tradition you can affirm. Become a Zen Buddhist or something.
If you're only trusting the words of Jesus that don't source any other aspect of the tradition he's in, then you're left with content so scarce that you might as well be something else. Buddhists and Sikhs have the exact same values.
The New Testament cites the Old Testament for proof texts and the title "Christ" he claims to be comes from the Old Testament, which is pretty clear in the books you're citing.
It doesn't make sense to be a Christian outside of a jewish context. At that point you're just creating a new sect like Muhammad did.
I'm not wearing a headset, that sucks. I'll wait until I'm 70 and convincing sex bots are real.
The historical account of what Jesus taught is contextualized by the church and the Old Testament, both of which prophecy or mandate the eradication of all gentile cultures. Christians meet in churches. Most of the New Testament is administrative letters to churches. The Church is literally called "The Body of Christ" and it comes directly from the synagogue tradition.
If you're only going by the "red letters" then you may fit some reconstructionist definition of a Christian, but it will be so far removed from the historical definition that it would become a useless name. The idea of cosmic redemption, the payment of sins, and a number of other things are out the window.
It'll be a lot better when we have AI that can animate a realistic sex robot, is what I'm saying.
If we're going strictly by the public teachings of Jesus, most of it is inoffensive. Nothing new, the Indo-Europeans figured it out a few hundred years prior, but inoffensive.
That doesn't really matter because the entire Christian mythos still became about "saints" baiting the government into martyring them through acts of mass vandalism, just like ISIS does.
It was a dispute between a new jewish school and an old jewish school but the aim of both is to destroy anything else it comes in contact with while providing nothing on its own merit except the promise that one day, in the far future, you will be a participant in the divine nature. No assurance for that, really, except subjective experience through ritualism.
So you have to destroy every beautiful thing now, you have to riot and vandalize everything your people built because if you don't destroy Roman civilization then you won't be a part of the new world order, which still hasn't come after 2,000 years, even though Jesus promised it within the generation of the Apostles. But you still have to do it, oh and when those civilizations tell you to stop committing crimes, that's persecution.

It's like having a girlfriend who you never have to listen to.
The best thing trannies did was destroy women's sports, now we don't have to pretend to watch them anymore.
I'm kind of like a Texan. I tell foreigners I'm Texan on the phone and they believe it.
