They are 'all' DESCENDED like DNA bloodlines - from PAGANISM Lisa.
Trying to make oneself 'holier than thou' with 'technicalities' in little paragraphs, sentences and anything else pedantic enough to fall short of the big picture - never works.
Pagan stories around the world and middle-east.
Then writing in created by the Pagan priests of Ur who worshipped 'Sin' the moon and used for 'logistical' reasons.
Zarathustrianism is born upon the collection of and reworking of, local Pagan stories, legends, myths collected over time and correlated into the first 'religion'.
Judaism is born from Zarathustrianism.
Christianity is born from Judaism.
Mohommedism is born from Christianity.
Religion is descended from Paganisms
like Humans are from monkeys.
No. There are too many mistakes in your post.
In the beginning we had Theism. Paganism came later.
Judaism did not evolve into Christianity.
That's why these 2 remain distinctive to this day.
Re Christianity I most certainly do NOT mean Orthodoxy or Catholicism...I mean Christian
as per the first Christian church which Jesus Christ himself initiated.
Orthodoxy and its 1st cousin Catholicism ARE pagan based. They have an appearance of Christianity but are very anti Scriptural religions. The Protestant reformation was an opportunity to get back to the true and initial Christian church (the one which Jesus Christ himself initiated).
Bottom line? Religion is like politics ie there are splinter groups left right and centre and these are set up to control people and .... their money.
Jesus Christ and Christianity has nothing in common with such hypocritical institutions.
Islam has nothing in common with Christianity. Nothing at all. Islam is a separate religious institution started by a guy who experienced some hallucination after which he felt compelled to normalise and reward child sex abuse and domestic violence as well as polygamy and the murder of one's enemies. Islam does not use the Holy Bible. It can't. Why? Its teachings based on Mohammed contradict what the Holy Bible teaches. Instead they use the Koran which essentially lists the teachings of Mohammed their leader.
In a similar way...a guy by the name of Joseph Smith had some weird hallucination/experience. After that experience he started the Mormon movement which has since experienced heaps of issues and has split many times. He too was into child sex abuse and polygamy etc. The Holy Bible is not used by Mormons either. Why? It can't because their teachings contradict what is written in the Holy Bible. They use a separate holy book based on the visions of their founder's hallucinations.
Christianity alone is based on Jesus Christ and it was Jesus Christ who started the 1st Christian church. In Jerusalem. After He rose from the dead.
• Look I get that you're not a Christian and that's fine. I'm married to a guy who's not a Christian (that's hard for me as I want to see him in Heaven with me one day. Our spiritual journeys are very unique. And different. I wish for this : that we could all see things regarding God through the eyes of his Son Jesus Christ and that we could all get to Heaven. That's not going to happen. Why? We are all different and we have the free will to exercise our freedom and difference of opinion. Many people on OzPol simply don't believe God exists. I'm not here to convince them that God does exist. That's not my job. IF they wish to believe that's a matter for them to sort out. Ok?i
