RE: Word of the Week, Ep. 2: "Apocalypse"
Etymology is fun! Thanks for doing this for "apocalypse."
I need to reread Revelations with this in mind. It may be another word like "anarchy," that's been perverted by government manipulation of language.
That it is.
It definitely puts things in a different light.
Anarchy is the most irritating to debate with people. The social engineering has gone deep.
So "apocalypse" literally means "Revelation." That's pretty damn cool. Are you a christian?
No, I'm not. I tend to go with the idea of all religions preach the basic principal of being a good person. The NAP, if you like. Historically organized religion has caused death and destruction so when I say religion in refering original teachings, or however those things started.
I'm not athiest or agnostic. I believe in natural law and think Jesus was an anarchist.
If you're familiar with Mark Passio, he did a great presentation called fake ass Christians that pretty much sums it up. Its pretty long though.
Basically pointing out the fact that a lot of so called Christians don't really practice what they preach but way more in depth.
I like to talk about theology but I kind of shy away from the subject because there are radicals everywhere here in the south. Lol Really some places aren't that far from witch burning still.
Romans 14:19
So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Romans 12:18
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
My two favorite verses. :) Paul, who also wrote the book of Revelations, would almost certainly not pledge allegiance to any nation. Sorry if you've had bad experiences with Christian's in the past. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," but some of us are trying to be more consistent in our world view.
A really enjoyable podcast about the Christian view of the state is Anarchochristian podcast. I recommend it to christians that worship the state and non-chriatians that want to debate state-christians on their own ground. He's on steem as well at @anarchoxp I believe.
Thats it man. It's all about peace and liberty!
I cant see how more Christians aren't anarchists. It's pretty obvious Jesus was advocating individual liberty.
