Using Religion as a Cloak for Cowardice

[@exquofonte]

You gave expression to what has been building up in me for quite some time. Nail on the head. This cowardice masquerading as virtue truly is insufferable

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@exquofonte Only the earliest Christians practiced the pacifism prescribed in the Bible. Once it became clear that the end was not near, Christians began acting more shrewdly and boldly. Were it not for the Christian warrior, the West would not currently exist, which is why I find it necessary to call out the cowardly positions being advocated by the likes of Cooper.

@@Catholic-Perennialist "pacifism" has not and never has been promoted by The Church, We (Actual Catholics, not you) Have Always Been Commanded to defend against ev1l. cowardice is worshiping the dvl in all ways but still pretending to be "christian" because you cant admit what you are.

[@HunnysPlaylists]

Virtue does make your vice unvomfortable. you openly gave into stn because of fear, the rest is just projection.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@HunnysPlaylists Jordan Cooper's femininity would make any straight uncomfortable.

@@Catholic-Perennialist or he's "feminine" because He does the most masculine thing of demanding Virtue?

Thank God I’m finding more people like you. I hope these type of channels start to grow more. I left the EOC just this year and have landed into a perennial understanding of God through various mystical/non-dual experiences and subsequent research and re-examining my worldview. Things have changed so fast for me in such a short period of time (but with the caveat that it looked like it was a long time coming in hindsight).

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@IAMFISH92 it's an awakening for sure. But most of these channels stay small. We're being throttled.

[@IAMFISH92]

@@Catholic-Perennialist Well, all I can say is to keep making content. Seriously, it helps more than you know.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@IAMFISH92 Will do 👍

[@Barnabas94]

@@IAMFISH92 I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. I have been reading and studying and learning more and each time I come back to Christianity in its orthodox form in the churches I find repugnant.

[@JPX7NGD]

you found stnism because it allows you to be exactly like your enemies with a pretense of stnic "christianity" underneath it.

[@michadubinski9402]

Hi, Great Work you are doing here. I observed progression of your beliefes binge watching. Would like to ask, do you still believe in Gods incarnation and that Jesus raised from the dead? Do you take it as symbolic, spiritual truth or as physical reality? I start my Christian and religious journey and love your unorthodox takes.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@michadubinski9402 Margaret Barker does a good job demonstrating that the earliest christology was adoptionism. Jesus is the Son, but from his baptism, not his birth. Likewise, James Tabor does a good job of showing that Paul's conception of the resurrection may not have been as physical as orthodoxy suggests, with Paul's emphasis on the "spiritual body" as opposed to the flesh. In short, I'm open to a much lower christology as I feel our current orthodoxy was embellished over time.

[@joeyj6808]

Interesting take. I have had my own problems with the Church and her followers. Not with the Christ of my understanding. Him I can get behind. But many of His most vocal so-called followers gave me myriad reasons to leave the Church. I am interested to hear what else you have to say.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@joeyj6808 It took me a long time to find my place in Christianity. For me it comes down to ignoring the bad theology and finding a cohort that approached religion casually. Those within the Church who take religion too seriously are hyper orthodox and generally have just enough intelligence to commit the catechism to memory. This is what passes for intellect, but the truly intelligent have to form a theology of their own to be comfortable within the institution. For us, that means understanding Christ on out own terms.

[@JPX7NGD]

@@Catholic-Perennialist No, you are just a stnist.

[@JPX7NGD]

@@Catholic-Perennialist you do not get to have your own Canon, let alone your own "religion" that is just gnosticism and occultism with a theme.

[@JPX7NGD]

that's because you want to be a prn-watching stnist but still want to pretend you will go to Heaven for worshipping stn.

[@IAMFISH92]

@@JPX7NGD Please enlighten us. What kind of Gnosticism are you referring to?

[@damnmexican90]

Cooper seems to be trapped in the dialectic of that certain entity i mentioned in another comment. In fact, you hint at it in thr beggining of your video. One of the spirits of the age is this dialectic of either or. Ultimatly, Cooper fails to realize Christ also said render unto Ceaser what is his and render to God what is Gods. Children are a gift from God, ergo. Cooper never really changed. 😂

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@damnmexican90 In my experience, it is the Jungian animus which resides in women that loves to vicariously wield the divine authority of god attached to scripture. They take great joy in sitting upon a throne of purported moral superiority and judging their men by impossible standards. As a husband, marriage is far easier if a man simply allows his wife to act out this role, no matter how absurd it appears. Attempting to wrest this behavior from her, or worse, to employ these very tactics against her, leave the woman deeply offended and unfulfilled. When Cooper uses the Bible as a tool to call down God's authority against his fellow men, he is playing the part of the female. The dichotomy is between the masculine and feminine and Cooper has chosen his team.

[@JPX7NGD]

​@@Catholic-Perennialist Catholicism is not "impossible," you are just w3ak and all of this occultism is just you trying to escape realization that you abandoned God because of fear of stn.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@JPX7NGD I'm no where near the magician that Daniel the prophet was. He was chief of the astrologers and soothsayers in Babylon, and he was blessed by God. So I don't really get your point.

Policing other men over "swear words" is just childish. The children of these modern puritans are gonna grow up so unprepared for the real world that they will become soft shells of human beings.

[@Catholic-Perennialist]

@@Matt-zx7uj These puritans can avoid reality only so long as they can avoid productive employment. The moment Cooper is forced to get a real job he'll have to put his childish notions of decorum aside.

[@JPX7NGD]

so you prove your problem is Virtue altogether. you simply want to be wordly, all unto being a stnist. Why then pretend to be Christian?

[@JPX7NGD]

@@Catholic-Perennialist so your argument is that you have to deny God to be a part of the world, but don't want to admit you are dmned? well that was an easy slip by you of your real intent here.

[@HunnysPlaylists]

@@Catholic-Perennialist so you gave up your soul for a job? why the occultism then? just general fear of ev1l?

[@FumblsTheSniper]

Hey man, I’ll let you know that when you find yourself ranting at the water heater in the basement you may need to take a step back. Cowardice in the face of great evil is not the burden of the righteous. The guilt of survival is pain enough that they deserve the better man’s compassion.
