Some people really and truly believe that what Jesus wants is for them to be dicks to everyone who isn't their particular, mushy-heady stripe of Christian. And if it's what Jesus wants, then it can't be wrong.

On February 5, 1597, 26 Christians were martyred and crucified in #Japan #religion #Christianity #history. The 26 Martyrs of Japan refer to a group of Catholic Christians executed during the 17th century in Japan, a period marked by religious persecutions. Canonized by the Catholic Church in 1862, these martyrs are often commemorated for their unwavering faith in the face of oppression. https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/253/26-christians-are-crucified-in-japan

I think the difference between a cult and a religion is the number of followers. If Islam or Christianity were to have a few thousand members (a little minority) we would 100% consider them cults. And terrible/crazy/primitive ones for that matter.

Humans can be so brilliant, and yet so dumb....

only the center is solid gold and the first that came from America, more or less 15 kilos.

Years later, more or less 50, it was made the rest of the statue out of solid silver, 183 kilos of that.

Centuries later by the end of XVI, it was #gilded, only the silver, with gold match the color.

Defined as one of the #greatest #jewels #of #Christianity, the “Custody” of #Toledo #Cathedral, a tower of more than two meters of #gold and #silver, runs through the streets of the city during Corpus Christi.

In the “chapel of the tower, or of the treasure”, under the tower of Toledo Cathedral and after entering through a Plateresque door with the sculptures of the “Domine, quo vadis?”, we enter the enclosure that contains some of the greatest riches of Toledo Cathedral, over which the “cathedral monstrance” stands out.

#Christianity #Islam #view #of #infidelity

Christianity

In Christianity, infidelity is generally considered a sin. Biblical teachings, including the Ten Commandments, include the prohibition of adultery. Jesus also emphasized the importance of fidelity in marriage. Christians are encouraged to uphold the commitments of marriage and avoid infidelity.

Islam

In Islam, infidelity is also regarded as a serious sin. The Quran prohibits adultery and underscores the importance of fidelity in marriage. Sharia (Islamic law) prescribes severe penalties for adultery. However, mercy and reconciliation between spouses are also encouraged in certain circumstances.
