More Middle-Eastern
A middle eastern religion
Christianity and some streams of Judaism are what one would call western religions.
they all come from the same place tho
Not really
>Christianity
>Western
The birthplace of Christianity is the Middle East. I guess you can say Christianity was adopted predominantly by the west and changed throughout that area.
Western religions in my definition arguably are those that tangibly shaped Western civilization and its spiritual landscape. I realize this is a LULZ question and doesn't really fit this board.
Christianity has definitely shaped western history and spirituality. I understand where you’re coming from given how Christianity is deeply rooted in western history and beliefs, however to say that Christianity is a western religion goes against the core existence of where Christianity manifested.
All Abrahamic religions are at their core Semitic/Middle Eastern tribal cults that claim universality. But yeah, Western civilization has a heavy Judeo-Christian tint while Islam has always been regarded as a foreign element, therefore the distinction.
Islam has a lot in common with Judaism, as they both worship the same God and neither of them are western religions. Christianity was a israeli religion, based on Yeshua's life teachings, until Paul turned it into an easier to digest western death cult.
>Jesus was the messiah/the anointed human who would restore Judaism to its full glory and freedom
he did the exact opposite
>Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Is it possible he was the messiah of his time, and the actual king messiah of the israeli prophecies arrives in the end times to establish world peace?
technically any descendant of the tribe of levi are priests, and anointment is just the process of officializing someone as priest. the capital M messiah is the one that is said to bring about peace to the entire world. so yeah jesus could have been a small letter messiah like a hundred thousand others
The original Western religion is pretty much just Greek and Roman then.
>Greek and Roman then
This is correct, until they turned the israeli Christianity of Yeshua into the western Christianity of Paul, complete with the man-god instead of the one God of Israel.
dude this art is fire wtf, is it really islamic?
yes. there are tons of Islamic miniatures like this
all abrahamic religions are central asian, the west adopting them due to it being useful for rapid globalism is irrelevant
Doesn't matter,all three religions stole its concepts from zoroastrianism,for example heaven,hell,angels and demons etc.
