Shankara was born in the 8th century he might as well be a modernist.

He doesn’t actually destroy Advaita in that book, he just writes some boomer-tier nonsense about how Hindu art looks demonic and scary to him. There is no serious critique of Advaita metaphysics in his book from what I remember.

>>18961478
This. Modernism is the cope notion of inventing anything to not believe in Christ. It's a spectrum from rabbinic judaism to advaita to trans-sexualism.

>>18961484
>Advaita metaphysics
There is nothing serious to be seen in Advaita metaphysics. It's the good old satanic delusion of "LOL YOU ARE GOD!" combined with prayers to demons in a Hinduistic garb.

>>18961488
>There is nothing serious to be seen in Advaita metaphysics.
Dozens of Christian authors disagree with you, men who have written books comparing Advaita with Christianity and who take its metaphysics to be serious

>It's the good old satanic delusion of "LOL YOU ARE GOD!"
Muh demons, lol, okay brainlet

>>18961478
How was 8th century India modernist? The majority of people agree that "modernity" is a post-medieval thing. In the case of India, there was no "modernity" before the British arrived.

There's nothing serious about Seraphim Rose, he was a gay junkie who spent his life LARPing as an eastern mystic. He's a very cringe joke in the Orthodox world (in particular, because he was a gay junkie that LARPed as an eastern mystic).

>>18961383
>Was Fr. Seraphim Rose the most important author in recent times?
Debatable, but he's certainly one of the few authors who'll be still known centuries from now.

>>18961665
Who is of similar importance?

>>18961623
Was he really a gay junkie, or is that just an insult? I don’t know anything about Seraphim Rose other than what Keith Woods talked about in his video about him.

Cope. All Indian religions come down to ‘LOL YOU WERE GOD ALL ALONG’. Purely satanic and have inspired legions of egomaniacs and guru fraudsters

Read his Wikipedia page of all things. It’s just spewing lies as usual

>>18961718
You’re right. It’s so much better to worship a rabbi who claimed to be the son of the God of Israel.

>Cope. All Indian religions come down to ‘LOL YOU WERE GOD ALL ALONG’.
1) That’s not even true, e.g. Samkhya, Buddhism, Jainism, Dvaita, Mimansa, Nyaya, Shaiva Siddhanta etc
2) So? That’s not even a bad thing, some people hold the view that it’s the summit of spiritual realization to have such knowledge. Simply calling it demonic is just circular logic, you are not critiquing the idea itself but are just blabbering about how it doesn’t align with your values, which other people dont share to begin with, so they dont care about your values.

It always comes down to this /pol/tard retardation, doesn’t it? Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecies, died for our sins, and rose to glory, and appeared after death to enemy and follower alike. In fact the Jews struggled desperately to stop the message of Christ from spreading beyond the Jewish world, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 2:15
>You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men, 16hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.

Get over your pride, anon. Jesus died for you

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention godless crypto-gnosticism! You are not God and will never be God. Indians religions are poison for the soul, no wonder their concepts of reincarnation, karma, yoga and other nonsense have become so popular in modern rootless New Agers

>>18961790
If Christ didn’t teach it, it’s irrelevant.

Accusatory inversion is the birth process of Yahwism, which presents a murderous demon as the supreme God while demonizing the supreme God worshipped by other peoples. This can clearly be seen in the Genesis story of the Garden of Eden, with a very simple historical critical analysis.

In the Garden of Eden allegory, Yahweh forbids man access to “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 2:17). The Hebrew word for “knowledge”, daat, translates in Greek as gnosis, meaning inner awareness or insight rather than intellectual knowledge, so that “knowledge of good and evil” can be accurately translated as “moral conscience”, which is man’s capacity to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong, in any particular situation. So that the prohibition of the knowledge of good and evil simply means the inhibition of moral conscience.

To contextualize that Genesis story, we must recall that Egyptian and Persian religions taught that immortality is the reward for the blameless life. Since immortality was synonymous with divinity, being immortal could be expressed as “being among the gods”, or “being like the gods”. But in the Hebrew Bible, it is the serpent, a liar and deceiver, who tempts Adam and Eve into eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil with the guarantee that, “the day you eat it you will not die,” but “your eyes will open and you will be like gods, who know good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). The serpent speaks like the religious wisdom of great religions. The Hebrew scribes can present him as a liar because, for them, immortality (“not dying”) only makes sense physically: Yahweh, they claim, intended Adam and Eve to be physically immortal on earth, and provided no otherworld for their afterlife. From this materialistic standpoint, the scribes denounce the promise of immortality through knowledge of good and evil as deceptive, and implicitly portray the Babylonian, Persian and Egyptian gods as liars.

We have been educated for so many generations by this story, and are so used to assuming that the serpent of Genesis is the satanic deceiver, that it is hard to see the Torah’s message for what it really was: a direct attack against the higher religions and their moral teaching that knowledge and practice of good and evil is the way to the blessed afterlife. But, I ask, if trying to become like gods is a Luciferian impulse, why did the Greek Fathers of the Christian Church stress man’s potential for deification (theosis) under the logic that “God became man so that man might become God”?[13]

Jesus is talking about Yahweh there

>Christian exegetes never seem to have noticed either that Yahweh’s covenant—domination over the nations in exchange for exclusive worship—is basically identical to the pact that the devil tried to lure Jesus into:

>“the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. And he said to him, ‘I will give you all these, if you fall at my feet and do me homage.’ Then Jesus replied, ‘Away with you, Satan!’” (Matthew 4:8-10)

>NOOOOO ITS NOT BAD TO WORSHIP GOD FOR THE MATERIALIST ALLURE OF RULING THE WORLD WHEN *MY* GUY OFFERS IT, O-ONLY WHEN THE OTHER GUY DOES
Does Jesus ever say that he is Yahweh or the son of Yahweh by name? Does he specifically say “Yahweh” or “YHWH” or just a generic “the Father” etc which can be interpreted any number of ways?

>>18962069

God chose to allow Luther to bring the church back to its roots, and cut out the stuff romcaths and orthobros put into church practice. You cannot deny if it weren't for the old church's failings, Luther might not've nailed the 95 thesis to his parish's door. On trial before God, with the threat of death, and he was spared.

>>18961463
accepting the Lord into your life is absolutely essential for salvation. however, we must also receive the sacraments as the scriptures state. One baptism for the remission of sins, receiving the true food and supper that grants eternal life, and for the confession of your sins.
