I remember watching a skit where I go time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.

What? I searched for it and it’s not a joke? There’s an actual Faith office in the USA? That’s something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?
Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We’re talking about the modern theocratically controlled
Kingdom of Sauduh…Hinduvista Federal government of Indiaum…Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon governmenter…Apartheid State of Israeloh, here it is, Ayatollah’s Iran.Damn, can’t believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model secular government we traditionally support.

I follow a guy (Matt Taylor) who studies a branch of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation, a branch that’s like if Evangelical theology, prosperity gospel, and morals merged with traditional charismatics. Lots of prophecies. These are also the Seven Mountains Mandate people–the people who believe they should be in charge of the 7 pillars of culture, like media and education. He posted a a zoomed out version of the above picture, labeling everyone he recognizes from NAR. The NAR has been courting Trump since his first term. Trump is delivering for them.

This is cursed and looks like “hundreds or thousands of dollars” at a glance. Just say “100,000s of dollars” or “$200,000+”.

I think “100,000s of dollars” is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out “hundreds of thousands”.

There’s only one point in the bible where someone actually asks Jesus how to receive eternal life. Jesus says to keep the commandments and also:
"Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”

zloubida@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don’t is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.

You might enjoy reading some of the works of Bart Ehrman. I’m an atheist who has been reading a lot about Jesus and the early church (first three centuries). I would recommend, How Jesus Became God.
Anyway, good for you for recognizing prosperity bs for what it is.
ChromaticSnail@piefed.social 2 months ago
Ehrman is great, as are his books and his podcast (which is called "Misquoting Jesus"). He's one of the most objective mainstream New Testament scholars (in the field of textual criticism), and he doesn't try to advance any agenda. He states clearly whether his points are the consensus of non-evangelical scholars, or whether he's in the minority (which is rarely); whether other scholars disagree with him (and why); what the evangelical scholars say, etc. He doesn't encourage either atheism or religion; he's simply a textual criticism scholar.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s literally a sin in many sects, not to say those sects aren’t entirely hypocritical on the matter, but trading priestly duties for money is explicitly a sin in a lot of Abrahamic religions.
zloubida@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I like Ehrman. I think Jesus had, before the Resurrection, no clear idea of who/what he was and that what Ehrman shows is how the early church not invented but discovered the divinity of Jesus.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 months ago
To reinforce this, Jesus didn’t just say it was hard for a rich person to get into heaven, he said “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich [person] to enter into the kingdom of God.” --Matthew 19:23-26
Personally, I think this is specifically referring to the level of greed that it requires to hoard enough wealth to become (and stay) a billionaire while the world suffers. It’s important to understand that this is our Bible, the foundation of everything Christianity is supposedto be about. These freaks have twisted it so much, it’s unrecognizable…

rami@ani.social 2 months ago
fun fact, the “eye of the needle” isn’t referring to a needle. they’re small gaps in the big stone walls just big enough for a person to squeeze through but intentionally designed so that a camel cannot get in. he’s not even saying it’s metaphorically impossible he’s saying it’s literally impossible, and by design.

I know most would go back in time and kill Hitler but I’d slap the ever living shit out of John Calvin.
zloubida@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Calvin was totally opposed to this kind of theology. I presume you’re referencing to Weber; but if you read The Protestant Ethic closely, he didn’t speak about mainstream Calvinism of his time, but German puritanism, which was opposed by mainstream Calvinism.
