On the grapevine: Mt Athos monk had a vision from Theotokos saying to put a cross on or above your front door tonight. Even if its nothing it's still good to do so.
All Roman (western) rite Christians should have epiphany chalked on their front door anyway (M+C+B 2020) for protection against demons.
Modern science and scholarship has proven Christianity to be totally fraudulent. Jesus is an example of an historically fake person. We can simply test for them by seeing whether they came in and out of existence by preposterous magical events. We apply the test. Did Rabbi Yeshua come in and out of existence by preposterous magical events? If he did then we have example of an historically fake person. Apply the test. Faith in Christianity means belief in a fake Jesus. Faith in Christianity is literally lying to oneself by pretending that something is possible that really isn't possible. Indubitably, this is not the scientific way to reason correctly.

Coincidentally tonight with vespers begins Passion Sunday in Lent. In the eastern rite they sing the akathist hymn to the blessed virgin mary after Compline

Nothing new added to divine revelation so not heresy
If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, then the foundation for the Christian faith would be destroyed.
1. Jesus didn’t really die on the cross. 2. Jesus’ body was stolen. 3. The disciples were hallucinating. 4. The account is legendary. 5. It really happened.
All the accounts affirm he died. Pilate verified he died. During the lifetime of the eyewitnesses no one disputes his death. Secular and contemporary historians Lucian, Josephus, and Tacitus cite his death as factual.
What if the disciples faked the resurrection story by stealing Jesus’ body and then claiming he was alive? Not only was the location of the tomb well-known but the Romans had assigned guards to watch the tomb 24 hours a day. This was a trained guard unit comprised of 4 to 16 soldiers. Josh McDowell notes, “The Roman Guard unit was committed to discipline and they feared failure in any way.” It would have been impossible for anyone to have slipped by the guards unnoticed and then move the stone. Yet the stone was rolled away, making it possible for eyewitnesses to enter the tomb. And when they did, the body of Jesus was missing. If Jesus’ body was anywhere to be found, his enemies would have quickly exposed the resurrection as a fraud.
What if the disciples might have been so emotionally distraught that they hallucinated and imagined Jesus’ resurrection? Hallucination is not even a remote possibility, according to psychologist Thomas Thorburn. “It is absolutely inconceivable that 500 persons of average soundness of mind should experience all kinds of sensuous impressions, and that all these experiences should rest entirely upon hallucination.”
Is it just a Legend? Legends do not develop while multiple eyewitnesses are alive to refute them. Legends develop by oral tradition and are not supported with contemporary historical documents. The legend theory does not adequately explain either the empty tomb or the fervent conviction of the apostles that Jesus was alive.

>Mt Athos monk You mean the same pagan faggots who are having daily visits from demons. Nobody who is haunted like that is a real Christian. Do not listen to these mystics, your are literally gonna invite something bad into your homes if you listen to these sorcerers
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26-27
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:8

wtf does that mean and where the hell would someone even get oil from olives? Can I just spray some ferret blood in a cross because I have that. Isnt that more religious than using oil?
>Modern science and scholarship has proven Christianity to be totally fraudulent. Jesus is an example of an historically fake person. All modern methods of historical enquiry point to Jesus being true. Bayesian probability demonstrates that it is EXTREMELY probable that Jesus was an abnormally special person.

One, Jesus did in fact exist. And two, Jesus was not a Rabbi, as he was illiterate; the only reason some consider his a Rabbi is because he preached orally.

Jesus is the sun itself, Adam and Eve are survivors of a cataclysm from polar shifts which happens every 6,000-12,000 years. We're due for another one and the Zionist plan is to actually wait out the whole reset and come out as technological gods.
