Transgenderism - A Thread of Its Own

[Badcat]

Christianity never became monotheistic. It always was.
Its founding was based on there being only one God, not many.

I don't think everyone does what I was describing. Right wingers do not typically scoff at religion or the Bible.

More democrats and liberals tend to scoff at religion and will use, exploit, or take advantage of the Bible when it aligns with their liberal agenda.

One day its "God is a wizard living in the sky" the next day it's "God says thou shall love thy neighbor, and that would include gays".
Or the famous "Jesus was a liberal" because of this, that or the other.

But that's not to imply that there are no right wing bible thumping hypocrites.

Sorry, you are correct. I was referencing the roots of Christianity (Israelite polytheism) whereby they chose YHWH, the God of Weather and War in the Canaanite religion. Of course, that is an oversimplification of how Christianity came to be, but this isn't a religious thread, and I merely wanted to explain what I was referencing.

Everyone does this, hence the reason I fell out of Christianity altogether. The truth is only revealed when you look at the history of how Christianity became monotheistic.

The definition of monotheistic is belief in one God.
When exactly did Christians believe in multiple gods???

Liberal Christians believe in both God and Government is a close second.

It's kinda foggy between Jesus death, the writings of Paul and then the later writings of the gospels and Roman engagement/organization, etc. That doesn't mean there were not monotheistic Christians, but that they converted many polytheists in ways that are unclear.
Don't think it really matters now, almost 20 centuries later.

Now that I can understand.
Badcat sounds as though the switch to monotheism was a modern day occurrence, hence one of his reasons for abandoning Christianity.
… if I understood him correctly.

No, sorry that I was unclear. I traced the roots of Christianity, and it led me all the way back to the dead sea scrolls and other texts back when people practiced polytheism. There are still passages in the bible that reference the old texts. For instance, Deu 32:9 shows that "God" inherits Israel (Jacob). But if you read the Hebrew passage, Elohim (plural) give's YHWH his inheritance. In those days an inheritance was only given from father to son. The passage reads as YHWH stands before Eloha (Singular, the one most high) and the other Gods to receive his inheritance.

ANY ways... how about those trannies, eh?
