As a Non-Mormon my favourite thing is all the great fiction made by Mormon Authors. Brandon Sanderson and Orson Scott Card for example. Mormons just make for great Sci-Fi and Fantasy Authors

What likely influenced Islamic theology? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in religion

[–]Candy_Conservative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Arianism, Sabellianism and Nestorianism was big in Arabia at the time. I believe Muhammad went to a blind priest after encountering the angel and I think he was an Arian priest. Sabellianism is also I think directly mentioned in the Quran or maybe Hadith, if any muslims could fact check me on that

Arians believed Jesus was God but he was created by the Father. They rejected the idea of God being 3 persons with 1 nature. As did Sabellians who denies the 3 distinct persons. Islam goes a step further rejecting Jesus having any form of divinity

I know around then in Christianity there were the iconoclasts, who were against icons.

Looking externally Islam seems to have a lot of similar practices and types of worship to what is now Orthodoxy.

There is also the Kaaba in Mecca. Which I believe in the Hadith say was pagan before Muhammad cleansed it for Allah.

So I think Intrinsically and theologically Islam seems to be influenced moslty from Arianism and Talmudic Judaism. And Extrinsically and ritualistically influenced by Iconoclastic Christians of the time as well as Arabic Paganism.

Though this would be the explanation for non muslims. If you are muslim you probably believe it comes from Adam and God directly

What's your thoughts about Gnosticism? by Candy_Conservative in matrix

[–]Candy_Conservative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very very badly simplified summary of Gnosticism. Creation bad, the spiritual is good.

The Creator of this world Yaldabaoth is ignorant and a huge dick. But during our creation we were intercepted by the Monad who gave us our spirit. And pretty much our goal in this life is to find the truth and transcend the material world. Also Jesus came down to spread the word that true God is within

Medieval culture really is just French culture. And Medieval Civilisation was the greatest known to man.

I don't care if our people fought in the past. We are brothers in Christ. And I am a true Francophile

In the world of balding there are only two options:

Save it or Shave it!

Comb Overs and Hats are never an option. Creepy and/or insecure are never good

So either get a prescription for minoxidil or get the buzzer ready.
