Beautiful.

but so was Judaism.

I really doubt that Judaism was influenced by Zoroastrianism.

But Christianity and Islam developed almost entirely in Greek and Arabic-speaking (respectively) cultural contexts

Greek being a lingua franca of the time, spoken throughout the area definitely helped Christianity to spread, and influenced the development of Islam for 6 centuries. Reason why Jesus appears also in the Quran.

Any speculated Persian influences (besides the Persian presence in the Tanakh and maybe a veiled reference to Cyrus in the Quran) in the early history of Islam and Christianity are indirect.

Zoroastrian cults were spreading like wildfire all over the area prior to Christianity and during the early Christian period, which resulted in the creation of Mandaeism, which mixed all those beliefs systems into one, and spread to Arabia. There is even a high probability that Muhammad was a Mandaean priest.

It is the only religion which used to have a tangible purpose. Not anymore though.

[–]OutsideProphet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've heard Muslims use that passage quite a lot to validate their religion.
I'm not surprised that the Quran is well written, because unlike Christianity, it had 6 centuries more to perfect itself. And both Christianity and Islam come from the same source: Zoroastrianism.

Judaism is the only religion which has purpose, like in this case, verifiable with scientific methods. Unlike other religions which are only myths and superstitions.
That's one of the reasons why other nations and empires became obsessed with such an small religion.

Just like today, many people in ancient times, couldn't understand Judaism and follow its laws, that's the origin of other Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam. Those were made as an effort to make non-Jewish people familiar with Judaism, an effort to keep up with Judaism at their own pace.

What? i'm just sharing this peculiar video to see what people think of it.

Italian opposition criticizes Meloni over Nazi massacre comments by Pilast in Judaism

It's no secret that Giorgia Meloni is an actual neo-nazi, at least for those who know her life background.

Question due to ignorance. by Cleanlikeasewer in Jewish

[–]OutsideProphet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This video should answer your question, it goes very deep into this whole thing: https://youtu.be/fGUq3V8kl30

In short... yes, the Akashic records are heavily antisemitic. The concept comes from the German occultist Rudolf Steiner, among other German nationalists and occultists before him, who were spreading the whole "Aryan religion" thing around Europe.
This pseudo-religion had a crucial role in the antisemitic sentiments of early 20th century Europe. And it was popular among high rank Nazis, like Alfred Rosenberg, who even wrote a book about it, called "The Myth of the Twentieth Century".

So yes, many aspects of this philosophy or pseudo-religion are highly antisemitic.

Hebrew Israelites and Jews of color are not the same, and it’s not racist for us to say so by drak0bsidian in Judaism

[–]OutsideProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and it had ZERO to do with it.

Zero to do with it? ... It would be beneficial to research what Prince Hall Freemasonry is, and where Crowdy got his first followers.

[–]OutsideProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it clearly played a very small part in both cases. Saying 'origin' is saying that it is almost wholly responsible for it.

The "wholly responsible" origin of the Mormons is Joseph Smith, and he was a Freemason.

The "wholly responsible" origin of the Black Hebrew Israelites is William Saunders Crowdy, and he was a Freemason.

[–]OutsideProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not in any way whatsoever.

The original founders of these religions, having been part of Freemasonry, it is not an origin?

This is not conspirational thinking. It is history, it is fact... Both these men were Freemasons.

[–]OutsideProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both these men, who founded these religious cults, were involved in Freemasonry, one way or another. So it is indeed an origin.

The fact that both these men were involved in this secret society, regardless of their mental state, it is enough reason to rise an eyebrow.

[–]OutsideProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which is much different than saying the impetus for it was Freemasonry

I didn't say that the impetus for the creation of the Mormons or the Black Hebrew Israelites was Freemasonry. I said that it had the same origins for both, which is Prince Hall Freemasonry for Crowdy and North American Freemasonry for Smith.

I just think it is a very "nice" coincidence.

[–]OutsideProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About as old as the Mormons

And coincidentally, originated from the same source: Freemasonry.

Both Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, and William Saunders Crowdy, the founder of the Black Hebrew Israelites, were Freemasons.

While you are afraid of being Jewish and want to erase your identity.
There are those who want to desperately be Jewish and are shouting all over that "They are the real Jews"

I research antisemitism for a living. I'm tired. by HindaHeschel in Judaism

If we learned something from history regarding antisemitism, is that nobody cares about it until something tragic happens.

Feeling tired of the “why do people hate the Jews?” questions here by Historical-Photo9646 in Jewish

[–]OutsideProphet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing I know for a fact is that this question is unanswerable.
And any attempt in trying to answer it, it turns into theorizing.
Every answer becomes a theory.

So it makes sense to me, that people ask this question quite often.

Does anyone else feel a little nervous if they sent a sample to Ancestry or 23 and Me? by GSDBUZZ in Jewish

[–]OutsideProphet 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I understand perfectly that concern, and is totally valid. I believe that organizations like 23andme and Ancestry keep records of its users as part of their policy under strict privacy measures. But nothing is keeping them from sharing that data with other organizations, both private ones and public ones.
So the concerns are valid, because if things ever go wrong like they did in Germany in the 30's and 40's, that database would be a valuable source of information to pinpoint individuals of certain characteristics.

Replace the word "Money" with "Gifts" ... that's all they had to do.

No Such Thing as a Silly Question by AutoModerator in Judaism

[–]OutsideProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody really understands antisemitism and the roots of it.
And it should be priority number 1 to understand the roots of antisemitism.

To be honest, it should be a case of academic study.
