HarshBitterTrut:
Yet I quoted Joesphus who was a Judean that was born in 37 A D about 3 years after the Crucificion so his story is rather fresh. The story of Prophet Muhammad comes 600 years after the Cruxificion. Joesphus says the Crucificion happened and the Quran says it never happened.

Jospehus wrote about Judas of Galilee and not Iesus chrestus, and if we are to date to events in the book it doesn’t tally with jesus iesus story.
All the copy of jospehus books we have now is gotten from Eusebius, a early Christian father and a forger, it’s not exactly a good source for Iesus chrestus.

HarshBitterTrut:
My point was to show the difference between Isa and Jesus as it pertains to the crucifixion belief. And why Jesus crucifixion was necessary for the Christian and why Arabs reframed it. I am not saying that Muslims are not monothiests only that Islam is a different type.

Muslims got the name Isa from the correct Aramaic name of jesus which is Isho. Yeshua is a hebrew name.

Alright then.

Christianity Etc › Before You Go To That Circus. by Maynman(op): 3:44pm On Jul 15, 2023*

“Sometimes, The Church is like a Circus”.

The etymology of the word "Church" is commonly believed to be from the Greek phrase "kuriou oikos" (House of the Lord), as stated in the "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable."
However, this assumption is highly unlikely since the word existed in Celtic dialects long before the introduction of Greek.
https://www.infoplease.com/brewers/search/Church

According to Smith's Dictionary of the Bible (one-volume edition) and Professor A. Fausett in his "Home Bible Study Dictionary,' the word "Church" is derived from an early term meaning "circle," similar to the word "circus." Professor Lipsius, a prominent historian and theologian during the Reformation, conducted a significant study supporting the notion that the word "church" does indeed originate from "circle."
https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/sbd/c/church.html
https://bible-history.com/faussets/c/church/

The term "Church" is derived from the word "KIRKE" (Circe).
It is referred to as "Kirk" in Scotland, "Kirche" in German, and "kerk" in the Netherlands.
These words demonstrate a more correct derivation from the Greek Kirke than the English word "church." Even Old English used "Circe" to refer to "church," further revealing its origin.
https://her.highland.gov.uk/monument/MHG412

Robert Brown's work, "The Myth of Kirke," also affirms that "kirke" (church) means "Circle" or "Circular".
The term "church" not only denoted a
"circular" building or monument but also had a significant association with the ancient
Goddess Circe.

Circe was a pagan figure, the daughter of the Sun God, often depicted as a minor goddess of magic, a nymph, witch, enchantress, or sorceress. She was worshipped as "Christos Helios" and gained fame for her ability to tame wild animals in her Circus.
“The term "circus" is derived from the Latin word "circus," which is a romanization of the Greek word "kípKos" (kirkos), meaning "circle" or ring."
According to the early Christian writer Tertullian in his book "De Spectaculis," the goddess Circe allegedly organized the first circus games in honor of her father Helios, the Sun God."

In classical accounts, Circe is often depicted holding a golden cup containing a mixture of wine and drugs/pharmacusii (associated with sorcery), which she used to control kings and exert her power.
The Apocryphal Book of Revelation includes references to this Goddess, Circe. She is described as the Great Wh.ore who sits on many waters and seven hills.
In Revelation 17:4, it is written, "And the woman [symbolizing a church/kirke] was arrayed in purple and scarlet color and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication."

Revelation 18:23-24 states, "Because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery (pharmakeia). And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth."
The Greek word translated as "sorcery" in this verse is "pharmakeia," which is the root of our words "Pharmacy" and "pharmaceutical" (DRUGS).

The name “Church" (Circe, the Great Wh.ore) is currently used to refer to almost all Christian assemblies.

Circe was buried on one of the islands of the Pharmakoussai (Pharmacussae) group in the Aegean Sea, within sight of the Isle of Patmos.
It was on Patmos that John received the visions found in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament and where the book was written.
Although Circe is described as an immortal goddess, a "tomb" typically served as a shrine for hero-cult.
https://www.theoi.com/Titan/Kirke.html

While the Greek word translated as
"church" is "ekklesia," meaning "called out ones," it more accurately corresponds to the English words: congregation, assembly, or group.
In Acts 19:32, "ekklesia" refers to a riotous mob. It is never used to describe a building for worship.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Jesus spoke of His Church

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The origin of the word “pedophilia” comes from greeks and it’s used in Paideia (also spelled paedeia) (/paɪˈdeɪə/; Greek: παιδεία) referred to the rearing and education of the ideal member of the ancient Greek polis or state.

How can anything be designated as moral when it is dependent on the society to which you belong.

Is Cannibalism is okay if my society agree with it?

Is Beastiality is okay if my society agree with it?

What is wrong with Pedophilia if my society agree with it?

What can be wrong with murder if my society agree with it?

Who is the person doing the “designation”?
On whose “designation” is this person moral?
Is the person doing the “designation” living inside the society?

Your society doesn’t agree with all you said NOW, there was a time society agreed to it through subjective discussions.
If you were in that time you will also agree to it.
I told you to go and read history from shamanism age, agrarian age and the technology age you enjoy now.

If someone tells you to do this now you will call it immoral, during those days it was moral and sacred.

Every society should have their own custom.
You can’t use your own society “standard” to judge other society and vice versa, that’s how genocide start ask hitler.

Even yorubas don’t have the same custom as fulani within just nigeria alone ooo, but you want to force your opinion that you read in a book as “universal”.

You are reading a JEWISH BOOK WITH JEWISH CHARACTERS, JEWISH TRADITION, JEWISH CUSTOM.

And morality is a human word that has specific definitions, your bible was written in pre existing languages.
You will have to coin another word for your egoism of wrong or right.

Morality means customs, in yoruba land prostrating for your elders is considered moral, but what exactly is “moral” in prostrating?
How does it signify respect on his own if not for what has been ATTACHED to it called CUSTOM.

Why do you think humans universally don't go about stark naked? They may be as skimpy dressed as possible but never naked like animals: Why?

Why do you think people have conscience and why do you think that people can kill their conscience?

Morality is ingrained in every human as their conscience. The society could then make or break this conscience to adopt a new normal.

Humans have gone STARKED NAKED more than they have wores clothes, why do you think humans for 90000 years were universally naked?
Some humans still go stark naked till today, apart from society shame, what is wrong in going naked in itself?
Morality/Customs is always changing.

Conscience is subjective, Do you think the isrealites that killed other tribes will have their conscience fighting them? they were fighting for yahweh.
Do you think a muslim bombing the “infedels” will have conscience of what he is doing is bad, or is it only bad from my perception?

Let's assume (for the sake of arguments) that there is a Highest SOURCE.
But Humans can also have other Sources different from this that they consider as their own highest source.
Eg. Atheists highest source is themselves!

Therefore if EVERYONE takes their Laws from the highest source alone, there would be no problem. But as soon as we adopt other sources apart from this highest source, we arrive at the problem you just showed

You are contradicting yourself.
Why can’t we adopt other HIGHEST sources, we have thousands of gods apart from Yahweh.
