If you're confused about the #global #political situation [it's #leftism. it's #fascism, etc, etc] to a point at which "blue Marxism" is a thing, I've been trying to explain for some time now..................

The situation is accelerating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism

#Accelerationism is a range of revolutionary and reactionary ideas in left-wing and right-wing ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as "acceleration".[1][2][3][4] It has been regarded as an ideological spectrum divided into mutually contradictory left-wing and right-wing variants, both of which support the indefinite intensification of capitalism and its structures as well as the conditions for a technological singularity, a hypothetical point in time where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.[

This is a #spectacular shift.

Materialized ideology has no name, just as it has no formulatable historical agenda. Which is another way of saying that the history of different ideologies is over.

From my point of view, there can't be "Left Accelerationsim" One can't "push" capitalism to its final phase. That phase can only be reached by firstly, the workers having control of the MOP.

One thing I hadn't noticed until recently was the association of #Marxism with #Gnosticism among some on the Right. This seems contradictory considering that the heretical nature of #Gnostic sects was determined by the Roman Church. The Roman Church doesn't believe in the individual knowledge of God. God can only be arrived at by incantations and through earthly intermediaries. A position which contradicts the teachings of Jesus. As I made case of in recent discussion with one #Trump supporter, #Jesus and his followers were a Theosophist cult, in effect. Therefore levelling such an accusation at #Marxism, might be viewed as incongruous.

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.

One of many ways the existing power structure maintains control

text of image: Very young black girl holding hands with White Jesus. She asks Jesus why are you white? Jesus answers “Because I’m a psychological tool. By creating the image of a white God, this subliminally engrains the myth of white superiority into the subconscious minds.”

Nobody really knows when Christ was born.

Most scholars think that December 25 was chosen when the Romans decided they needed a new state religion, to give a little extra umph to their collapsing empire— and this was just the most convenient time to celebrate.
From the Coliseums to Cathedrals
The Romans had noticed that Christians were pretty dedicated—going to their deaths in the Coliseum—not perhaps cheerfully—but strengthened by their beliefs. The Romans respected courage and loyalty.

Although Constantine is credited with legalizing Christianity—there had been a movement towards toleration, if not inclusion, well before him—with various generals issuing edicts of toleration to recruit Christians into the legions.

Early Christians were apparently not all pacifists.

These…umm ”Christians” were also not of one mind.

Christianity began as an offshoot of Judaism—one might say created by Paul, who was a Jew and therefore believed in only one God— and had never met Jesus while he was alive. In his writings, Paul does not specifically say that Jesus is God. In fact, many early Christians did not believe that Christ was divine.

“Son of God”?

The term “Son of God” was often used in Israel to designate virtuous and godly people —and cannot be taken literally. Paul and others tend to use expressions of this kind in this way.

In any event, Constantine could not have a state religion with so many different interpretations—hence the Council of Nicaea— which among other things dumped about 80 Gospels in favor of just four— and created a creed – “I believe in the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost”— a sort of compromise polytheism— which the Romans found easy to accept.

At this time, up to 50% of Christians, especially Ebonites and Arians, did not believe in the divinity of Christ.

In any case, the rulers of the empire got their new state religion— the question was how to sell it. How to convince people to accept the transition? The Trinity was helpful, but something more was needed.

Saturnalia

Since the festival of Saturnalia was held December 25—the birthday of Sol Invictus and Mithras – what better day to celebrate the birth of Christ! I'm not sure how the sex orgies, gluttony, and drunkenness fitted in. But….what's life without a little ambivalence?

#Luke 23:34: “Then said Jesus, Father, #forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

Psalms 78:38: “But he, [being] full of #compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.”

1John 1:7 But if we walk in the #light, as he is in the light, we have #fellowship one with another, and the blood of #Jesus #Christ his Son #cleanseth us from all #sin.

#Psalms 51:7: “Purge me with #hyssop, and I shall be #clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than #snow.”

The word in #Greek for #forgiveness is #aphes which means to send away, leave alone, depart or release and pardon.

The word in #Aramaic is #shavaq which is the word used for divorce, the ending of a marriage as well as pardon.

In #Hebrew, the word for forgiveness is #chaphar which means to cover up or cover over and pardon.

#All these words have the idea of a pardon. In a sense what Jesus was saying when He said: “Father forgive them” was that he was granting them a pardon.

#angels #gabriel #mary #jesus

The Archangel Gabriel brings a message from The God Of The Impossible.
- God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth with a message for Mary, who was promised in marriage to Joseph. The angel told Mary that she would have a son, whom she was to name Jesus. The angel said, “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God.” Mary asked how this could be as she was a virgin.

JUDAH
Star of David
Jesus was a Jew. His mother Mary was a descendant on her father's side from the royal Tribe of Judah, and on her mother's from the priestly Tribe of Levi. Joseph, the husband of Mary, was a Jew from the priestly Tribe of Levi.

Judah and The House of David
St. Matthew makes clear in recounting Jesus' genealogy that he was of the Tribe of Judah. (Matt. 1:1-6; 16-18).
Matthew's genealogy of Jesus Christ traces His lineage through King David of Israel, Judah, and Abraham (Matthew 1:1–3)
Luke: Jesus is a member of the Tribe of Judah according to his maternal bloodline. (Luke 3:31-34).
- Joseph and Mary had four sons and two daughters together. They are the half brothers and sisters of Jesus.
- "Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us?"
(Matthew 13.54-56). Matthew 1.25 also implies the married couple assumed a normal relationship following the birth of Jesus: "but [Joseph] knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus."
