2 Peter 2:1: Peter describes false prophets and teachers who bring destructive heresies, and says that they will face destruction themselves.

Yup, literally every cult has a similar claim. It's a way to handwave away people who don't swallow the bs.

I hope they will, that is why I spread the truth instead of the satanic church narrative.

What do you mean? Christ is Abraxas. Those who can't see this aspect will always call the other as Evil, never once looking at the Evil within, never once integrating the chaos within. We have many Abraxas' in our human timeline.... Krishna, Buddha, Christ etc etc. Anyone engaging in this battle of "mY rEliGion bEtTer tHan yOurs" are simple speaking from the Pride within, and sooner or later, that pride has to fall.

It is in the chaos does the light emerge, thus balancing it. Like a Dancing Star that gives light to entire universe, whose inners are initially so utter chaotic it created a literal explosion of light, making a balanced eco-system of sustainable light and chaos. A true Abraxas.

In the beginning was The Word, and The Word with God, and the word was God. Christianity is a unique doctrine from paganism and other religions because it is the only doctrine that has a trinitarian view point of God which I do think was revealed by the holy spirit. "Doesn't that make Christianity polytheistic, in turn making it similar to paganism?" NO. The father, the son, and the holy spirit are all one but separate and distinct from each other. God bless you my brother.

[@universalcrazy4889]

Oh and yes religion has been used for horrible acts like war and slavery, but does that make it horrible itself? In my own opinion, I don't think so. Those who used the name of the father for disgusting things are not Christians; they are hypocrites. The right to bare arms is used for malice intent, but does that make the 2nd amendment a horrible thing? There will always be bad apples. Those bad apples shouldn't define the whole group though.

@@LibraryofGnosis Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost. the gospel of Matthew was written sometime after 70AD (around late 1st century). As for Exodus 22:28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. Gods in this verse is Elohim in the original Hebrew. This term is interchangeable with the word Judges and refers to the individuals who will rule over Israel. Psalm 82:6 I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high (just read all of Psalm 82 for that matter). "But look at the NKJV and other translations of the bible. It says Gods as well." They all got it wrong simply because God is a more direct translation for the word elohim. The one that did get it right though was the Geneva Bible. That one translates it to judges. Anyways God bless you bro it's fun having good debates once in a while.

@@blazednlovinit Since real Christianity is not dogmatic, it can not be counted as a religion. Gnosticism which was the doctrine of the first congregation was eventually deemed heretical by the Universal church, hence it is not main.

[@Aba_KoTO]

This is not new information. Scholars have held a consensus for about a century that ancient Israel was polytheistic. You yapped about this consensus for almost 10 minutes and didn't once support the claim in your title. Care to support it?

[@LibraryofGnosis]

“In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.” And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” - Hebrews 5:5 The challenge comes when Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon, and Abram appear to serve the same god. ‘Melchizedek’ literally means ‘Sedeq is king’, and he is called a ‘priest of El Elyon’ and the ‘king of Salem’. All three names - Sedeq, El Elyon, and Shalem - are associated with gods of the pagan Canaanite pantheon. So even Abram did not worship YHWH, and we call them Abrahamic faiths after all. There you go!

[@Aba_KoTO]

@LibraryofGnosis This is just a name fallacy. Your argument equates the use of names like "El Elyon," "Melchizedek," and "Shalem" with theological identity, assuming that because these terms have connections to the Canaanite pantheon, Abram and Melchizedek were worshiping pagan gods. In reality, the Hebrew Bible frequently adopts and redefines cultural terminology to express its monotheistic theology. While "El Elyon" was a term used in Canaanite religion, the biblical text explicitly equates this title with YHWH, presenting Abram’s worship as directed toward the one true God rather than a distinct pagan deity. The name "Melchizedek," meaning "king of righteousness," and his role as the king of Salem (likely Jerusalem), are similarly repurposed within the biblical narrative to prefigure themes of divine priesthood and covenant. This linguistic borrowing reflects the cultural environment of the ancient Near East, where overlapping terms were common, but it does not imply theological equivalence. Christianity, building on Jewish monotheism, interprets these figures and titles through its own theological lens, especially in Hebrews, where Melchizedek’s priesthood becomes a typology for Christ’s eternal priesthood. Thus, your claim conflates shared terminology with shared belief systems, an error of association rather than substance.

[@LibraryofGnosis]

@Aba_KoTO Not doing this again... Sigh... In some places, especially in Psalm 29, Yahweh is clearly envisioned as a storm god, something not true of El so far as scholars know (although true of his son, Ba'al Haddad). It is Yahweh who is prophesied to one day battle Leviathan the serpent, and slay the dragon in the sea in Isaiah 27:1. The slaying of the serpent in myth is a deed attributed to both Ba'al Hadad and 'Anat in the Ugaritic texts, but not to El.

[@Aba_KoTO]

@@LibraryofGnosis Yeah, yeah, we've been over this-YHWH borrows traits from both Ba'al and El, but Christians don’t worship Ba'al or El. Instead, they reinterpreted these deities' characteristics into one being, YHWH, and later Jesus as part of the Trinity. The storm-god traits of Ba'al and the creator-king role of El were merged and transformed into a monotheistic framework. The myths, like battling Leviathan, weren’t worship of pagan gods but repurposed imagery to emphasize YHWH’s unique authority as the one true God. It’s cultural adaptation, not continuity of polytheism.

It literally isn’t. That’s like saying Jews are now Gentiles. By definition Christians cannot be Pagans, they came up with the word to describe every religion that’s not Christianity.

[@LibraryofGnosis]

No Jews are not gentiles since they worship YHWH, while Jesus father was the Canaanite God El Elyon. "Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.…" - John 8:43 I believe he is speaking to the YHWH worshipping Pharisees here right?

Most of the current religions wont identify the simple cyclical nature of Creation's essence (God). They fail to understand the nature of Destruction and Sustenance's part in enabling Creation. (If one struggled to answer this question "Who created the creator", there you go.. its this cyclical nature) Hence instead of an integrated religion like Hinduism... Most of them ended up being highly dual, where Creation's essense (God) is the only thing to worship and to despise the other "deities" calling them PAGAN or whatnot. Islam isn't any different on that aspect.

I haven't watch the video, fully but basically, we see Christianity and Judaism (but Judaism is closer to us funnily enough) have been corrupted. The Islamic holy book, The Qur'an, has ZERO contradictions, we have passed down the recitations of the many surahs in the Qur'an and the Qur'an even has a challenge for anyone that isn't Muslim, make a surah that is like the Qur'an, it has to have meaning, must be poetic and must sound beautiful, no one has succeeded, not even the Arab pagan poets couldn't succeed. Meanwhile, the Bible has contradictions, even it minor it immediately disqualifies it as a book sent by God because God is perfect, can easily be recreated and has never passed down on how to recite their Bible, they have to relay on Greek manuscripts written by anonymous people and etc... The Qur'an has also predicted many things, like the Romans (Byzantines) defeating the Persians, which was made when the Byzantines were losing against the Persians, how the Bedouins of Arabia, who mind you were barefooted and were nomadic would make and compete to make the tallest building, a predicted the Fall of Constantinople by the Muslim Ottomans and etc...
