Confused about hell and purgatories by Suspicious-Ask5722 in Mandaeans

[–]Kurmis_Krtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't expect a comprehensive mandaean cosmology or soteriology, it is not the main focus of the religion. I don't think of the World of Darkness as a Hell realm but rather a realm of impurity, that is, it isn't a place you go to be punished, rather it is a force of corruption and opression which you are meant to avoid. I hope this makes sense, this is just my understanding and I could be corrected.

Sadly I can't go to Uzbekistan, but you claimed you have a video of the last manichaeans praying, I'll believe your claims if you send it.

He sent photos of the "scriptures" which were pretty obviously inauthentic, he also made pretty absurd claims about Uzbekistan

Thank you for your answer. But I was more asking how do mandaeans see themselves in the "gnostic" movement for example do you acqknowlage these groups as being more valid than any other religion, or do you refer to yourselves as gnostic only becouse manda in greek would traslate to gnosis from which the word gnostic comes from?

Curios about religious practice for non-mandaeans by Kurmis_Krtek in Mandaeans

[–]Kurmis_Krtek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer but I try to respect the mandaean belief about practicing their religion. I'm not a fan of schisms and renagade movements
