There's a new "horror" movie out right now called Heretic that's been getting a lot of attention. But the main horror of the movie is really just how insulting and condescending the whole thing is to Christians.
The movie is about some psychopath who locks a couple female Mormon missionaries inside his house and then spends almost the entire 2 hours just having him "debunk" religion and try to convince the missionaries to question their faith. I haven't been able to find any confirmation on the background of the film's creators, but there is one scene that is laughably biased in favor of Judaism.
The old man starts telling the missionaries about the history of monopoly and how it was just another iteration of an older game called The Landlord's game. You see, the Landlord's Game was made by a smart and hard-working feminist, and then some mean sexist man plagiarized it and created Monopoly and didn't give her any credit. Then he starts giving examples of how modern songs were sued for copyright infringement because they plagiarized melodies from older songs, and he uses these as an analogy to say that Christianity and Islam plagiarized off of Judaism.
Judaism was the OG monotheistic religion. But if they were the first true monotheistic religion, then why are they only 0.2% of the world's population? Well it's because they don't advertise their religion like Christians do.
The Guardian even put out an article praising the movie's realistic portrayal of Mormonism and citing some totally real Mormons who thought the movie was amazing and very realistic.
The entire public image of Judaism is that of misinformed Protestants who believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a practitioner of Judaism. As it turns out, Jews are in no hurry to correct this bit of bad history. The religion of the ancient Hebrews is extinct, and its place taken by Talmudic Rabbis. And while Jews may quibble about the details and the significance of certain historical events, no Jew has brought a sacrifice to be offered up by a priest of the Levitical line since 70AD.
Absolutely, they don't follow the old testament, they abide by the talmud, which is the most vile religious text I've ever read, including the muzzies child raping and murder bullshit.
Todays tiny hat wearers are not the original judeans or hebrews, but khazars and gypsies who adopted the religion in the 8th century.
"Synagogue of Satan" Rev. 2:9, Rev 3:9
I do not understand how so many Christians, including well-studied pastors, miss this. There is nothing that ties what we call Judaism to the practices of the Hebrew people in the OT.
When they founded modern "Israel" they stole the name but at least knew enough not to call themselves the Israelites (sons of Israel) but opted for Israeli instead.
Pastor Steven Anderson and his fringe ministry have their detractors and I'm sure he's disliked by those who really love Jews, but his documentary Marching to Zion was an eye-opener for me, even as a non-Christian (and I don't think it was really intended for non-Christians at all, so I have to commend his restraint in making something that's comprehensive and even-handed, even while he's clearly seething about the issue).
Besides explaining how irrelevant the Old Testament is to Jews nowadays, it also helps contextualise Jesus' message as the schism from Judaism it represented to people back in his time, and finally drilled into me just how much Jews seethed about it back then and ever since - right up until an anomalous form of Christianity emerged which treats Jews as allies, relatively recently in history.
Since I saw that docu I've gone on to inadvertently encounter various things on YT and 4chan which frame Anderson as insane, with a dysfunctional family life. He's also been banned from entering a bunch of EU countries. The modern Westboro bogeyman, basically. It all just makes me suspect he's on the money.
I'm not familiar with Anderson, but the accusations may be true. Publicly rejecting the Judeo-Christian myth takes a sort recklessness associated with poor behavior. Doesn't make anti-Zionism wrong.
See my post here.
The "religion of ancient Hebrews" is the still-ongoing faith of Christianity, but all your other points are accurate. The jews of today and of antiquity are almost completely different.
Of course. I believe that, but even for Christians, there is good reason to distinguish between the the religion of the ancient Hebrews and its fulfillment in the incarnate Godhead. In fact, when discussing Judaism, it is essential to draw the distinction.
It's a technical thing to be sure. The "true israel" as described in the bible has always been the same religion, but it takes a familiarity with Christianity that isn't universal to be aware of that fact.
I just learned from one of the Stone Choir episodes that the modern "Hebrew" language actually has no connection to ancient Hebrew. Ancient Hebrew has completely died out due to conquest and exile. Modern Hebrew is actually derived from Aramaic, due to Israelites back then being conquered by Babylon, and then being forcefully exiled into other parts of Babylon to change and uproot their culture (a control mechanism after conquering a people).
The Talmud originates from many of the occult practices in Babylon, and written in Babylonian Aramaic, which is why it's anathema to many (most?) of the rules in the OT. There's even a jewish saying: "what the Torah forbids, the Talmud permits".
While their "sacrifices" don't suffice in the eyes of God, they certainly do offer up sacrifices. The term "Holocaust" literally means "burnt offering", which is why certain aspects of that "history" are integral (i.e. cremation). However, they have absolutely made (and make) sacrifices. It's just that their sacrifices are other people (i.e. they are murderers). The fire bombing of Dresden is one example. The nuclear bomb was developed specifically to target German cities during the war, but since Germany surrendered by then, they used it on Japan. Purely by coincidence, I'm sure, the two largest Christian centers in Japan were targeted for the atomic bombs, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
These aren't isolated incidents either. All manner of "sacrifices" are made today, and throughout history. Wars for at least the last 100 years are replete with examples of unnecessary loss of life, wars almost invariably started with false flags, killing innocent people, to start even greater conflagrations to kill even more innocent people.
The Gulf of Tonkin false flag to get the U.S. involved in Viet Nam. The lies surrounding Iraq to get us involved in a war there. The lies surrounding Osama and the Taliban after 9/11, and 9/11 itself. The lies surrounding Syria and their "civil war". The lies surrounding Ukraine. The lies surrounding Libya and killing Gaddafi with "rebels". The lies surrounding the entire "Arab Spring" while Obama was president, including the U.S. backed rebel coupe in Egypt. The proposed plan to destroy one of our own civilian airplanes to start a war with Cuba, while Kennedy was president. The lies surrounding WW2. The lies surrounding WW1. The lies around how the current Civil War is framed. The lies surrounding every false flag and conspiracy imaginable for the last several decades.
These are their "sacrifices".
Adam was Christian. Noah was Christian. Abraham was Christian. Moses was Christian.
They all anticipated the forthcoming Christ. The historical aberration is rabbinical judaism, which is a failed, satanic offshoot of Christianity, circa 70 AD.
I would object to this. The Jews, or Hebrews if you prefer, were in a severe state of ethnic, religious, and moral decline by the time of Christ. This is attested to by the historical record, the Jewish prophets of the OT, and Christ himself.
The Hebrew prophets of what Christians call the Old Testament constantly bemoaned the plight of the Hebrews are the hands of foreign conquerors, but they ALSO criticized the Hebrews' tendency to revert to paganism, usually the paganism of their own conquerors. Historically, we know that Hebrews of Judea were subject to invasion and conquest by foreign powers; indeed, the Babylonian captivity was the beginning of Talmudism as Jewish teachers began incorporate Babylonian mysticisms and legal theory into what would eventually be called Judaism. By the time that Rome had taken de facto control of Judea via agreements with Harrod the Great, Talmudism had already taken root and was the predominate Jewish religious and social teaching even as it existed alongside the Levitical priests of the more ancient religion.
The Talmudists are who the Christian New Testament call Pharisees. Now, if you were raised in a Christian tradition, its likely that you interpreted Jesus of Nazareth's criticism of the Pharisees as one of "hypocrisy" or "legalism". This is bullshit. The Pharisees were the pushers of Babylonian Talmudism at the time Christ, and Talmudism is a pagan perversion of the religion of the ancient Hebrews. Then Judaism would continue to evolve over the next several centuries and readily incorporate as many anti-Christian doctrines as the Rabbis could pack in. This is where Rev 3:9 comes in, from a Christian perspective.
Of course they did lol
I'm gonna guess they didn't mention the Mormons committing terrorism, insurrection, polygamy, crimes against humanity, a cult of personality, and a religious text disproved by the Rosetta Stone.
Not the Guardian article but the movie did bring up the polygamy. I'm not really familiar with any of those other things.
I understand that mormons can be annoying but I can't help but notice there is a blantant hatred that hollywood and the far left seem to have for them. Just recently I saw a youtube video discussing a show about gay mormons in the closet or some shit. Also the subreddits about ex mormons constant bashing of said religion and community. I know the wokies hates christianity by default but they seem to hold extra pleasure in taunting mormons.
Gay commies hate mormons because some of the fundamental teachings of their religion are practical behaviors meant to ensure their survival and flourishing. As in have large families and stockpiling food. The missionary system hardens their youth into the faith while exercising their emotional fortitude and forces them to practice valuable social skills by making them face the worst behaviors of non-believers. And a lot of them end up fluently learning another language and having immersion in their culture which is a valuable for doing international business.
I don't know their core beliefs but it seems to me that mormons start with a christian framework but also have the collective "success" drive of jews.
That's hilarious. 'If only we could sue Christianity for copyright infringement' sounds like the most cartoonishly Jewish perspective I could possibly think of.
No, it's because, according to Jewish texts, you can't "become" Jewish. You can't be a Born Again Jew or whatever. They believe you are born Jewish, by blood, and everyone else in the world is less than human because they are not God's chosen people. It doesn't matter if your parents converted to Judaism and wholeheartedly believe in Judaism, and you were born Jewish. If your bloodline doesn't date back to the OG Jews, then you are not considered a Jew. That's why you don't see Jewish missionaries, because they firmly believe that everyone else is below them, and those people will never be accepted into heaven in the first place.
The only way this could be more dated is if they had picked Scientology instead of Mormonism.
Thanks. I tend to avoid modern horror.
Reminder: if this were about any other religion the movie would be considered hate speech
The game is literally Leftist propaganda. It was designed by a kind of archaic Socialist/Progressive who promoted this thing called "Georgism". The idea of the game was to prove that ... monopolies... were going to naturally occur as people developed land, and that this system of free market competition always generated a situation where one person would dominate all land and rend as the landlord more powerful than the bank.
When you stop playing by "House Rules" and play the game exactly as intended, it becomes very clear that only the most evil, bloodthirsty, bastard among you can win. The game is designed to promote toxic trades, aggressive mortgages, and that the bank never "makes more money", and no money is put under Free Parking. Jails are intended to be used strategically as a way of actually keeping your cash from being used. All of the "House Rules" that designed to make the game more competitive, are actually counters to how the propaganda message of the game flows.
It is not supposed to be a fun game. It is supposed to be an instructional tool used to promote land redistribution by the state. It's supposed to make you hate the guy who's winning because that's the only explanation for why anyone would be winning in life.
Elizabeth Maggie is who they are talking about, but the reality of the situation is that she had a copyright on her version of the game, and then other people had copyrights on their versions of the game that included variations like street names and the utilities, and followed slightly different rules. Milton Bradley eventually decided to make the game themselves and publish it from their large logistical system as a nationally popular game, rather than a regionally popular game. In so doing, they bought out not only the patents (including Maggie's), but also bought all the available physical copies of The Landlord's Game that were still available, so long as they could get sole and exclusive rights to it.
So no, not screwed over at all. She didn't get credit for it because she sold the right to be credited for it. Also, because she wasn't the sole creator of the game Monopoly, and had simply been a precursor to what we have today.
Every single time
Also every single time.
Socialism is the most profitable grift of them all. The amount of Socialist millionaires and billionaires is galling.
So essentially this but blown out into an hours long film?
Just play Heretic instead.
I mean, if you want to get technical, judaism is a revamped version of the ancient Canaanite's religion. Also, it wasn't the first one, Zoroastrianism was
They love advertising when they are atheists tho 🤔
Or fellow Whites.
I don't think Judaism is the OG monotheistic religion. I know both the Greeks and Egyptians had sects that had Zeus and Ra, respectively as singular gods.
Yeah and there's Zoroastrianism too.
I've been seeing praises for it, but it just seems like an attempt to be edgy and isn't as good as Black Books.
Horror is wildly pozzed. If you see a new horror movie getting a lot of media praise, expect woke retardation.
I know that horror is a special level of terrible (the big star director in modern horror is Jordan Peele, after all), but I'm pretty sure your sentence also works just fine without specifying any genre at all.
I'm not a Christian myself and I must point out that Zoroastrianism was also a monotheistic religion that predates monotheistic judaism and arguably inspired it's whole dualism aspect. EDIT: Forgot about that one Pharaoh's Egyptian monotheism (the gods name escapes me) and OFC Sol Invictus aswell (who Constantine would argue is the Abrahamic god aswell)
Mormons aren't Christians
The movie attacks Christians as a whole. I'm not a Mormon and I know they have silly beliefs, but I would much rather prefer Mormon culture to leftist culture.
