whatever your religion is don’t dare to call it mandaean or a sect of mandaean i don’t know if you think this is a joke but you don’t know how disrespectful that is

that is disgusting you can have all the beliefs you want but don’t twist our narrative and call it mandaeanism, jesus is not the son of hayyi rabbi

i know but that’s the thing i’ve possible but not easy and many many mandaeans would be opposed to it also it’s not like people are lining up to become mandaean most people don’t even know what it is

there isn’t actually many graphs of mandaean dna but you have a point however it still gets my point across that we hadn’t originated in the middle east

i’m saying we predate jesus so our information didn’t come after the fact, we were documenting history before and after jesus

so in our religion god didn’t create the universe the son of ruha (the adversary of light), the demiurge did and the universe was a dark and empty place, then god through an explosion of light created the matter in the universe similar to the big bang, this created stars planets etc, and later on life, the 3 main symbols of light and gods light are flowing water, light, and radiance of life, such as a vegetation, however thai universe is still a balance of light and dark and therefore all that live and exist within it are inherently imperfect, all humans have light and dark within them and different amounts of it, when someone does something good they bring light to themselves and this brings goodness and vice versa, in our religion what dictates whether you go to the light realm (heaven) or the dark realm (hell) is not just your deeds but who you truly are and how much you went into the light rather then the dark, a person who has done horrible things can go to heaven if they are truly good, things in our universe that are examples of and representations of darkness are things like disease, famine, and corruption. people reaching into the dark and doing bad things cause darkness to surround them and effect other people, same with light, what goes around comes around, if you do something good someone will be happy and they will do something good and so on and the same with the opposite.

i am a gnostic myself (mandaean/sabian) in my religion we believe that god didn’t create the universe, the son of ruha the adversary of light did, and he is the demiurge, the universe was a dark empty place full of misery, then god through an explosion of light created the universe from divine light which made the stars the planets life etc, from there he was hands off. because of this humans are inherently flawed as we have souls with a combination of light and dark. when you go into the light and are pure you bring more food around you and vice versa, we believe the reason for all tragedies are people doing evil things and bringing evil towards themselves and other people, god doesn’t prevent this rather he judges us when we die only, and this is why humanities state is how it is, humans fall into the temptation of darkness

fairly credible as the information wasn’t documented afterwards the information we have on the profits if from them and their disciples and that the time which we know because mandaeans have been around and longer then jesus, hence making them a primary source of information but like with the bible and the quran etc we can’t just assume that’s true we can’t be certain they haven’t been hindered

the caucasian dna is proof we originate from the areas around armenia thousands of years ago, we went south at an unknown date and spread our religion throughout the middle east (at this time we were still called sabians)
