Why are there no movements to revive early sects of Christianity that have been forgotten? Even neo-pagans are a thing but there’s no neo-Bogomilists, neo-Cathars, neo-Montanists, neo-Marcionists, etc.

>neo-Marcionists
Positive Christianity
The israelites would want to shut it down
>Why are there no movements to revive early sects of Christianity that have been forgotten?
Because there's no point, Christianity didn't die out.
>Even neo-pagans are a thing but there’s no neo-Bogomilists, neo-Cathars, neo-Montanists, neo-Marcionists, etc.
Why would anyone revive these? When people try to revive a dead religion, it's because they have an ulterior motive. With Christianity, it's easier to create your ne schizo offshoot rather than reviving something old.
>Positive Christianity The israelites would want to shut it down
Positive Christianity is not a real religion and predictably never caught on due to being a half-hearted shilling of half-misinterpreted Nietzche and ethnopsychopathy. It's all purely cynical.
Anybody who's read the bible knows St Paul as a pharisee that used to hunt Christians but converted and became an apostle
Because they have been forgotten.
Though if I were to return to Christianity, I'd probably be some flavour of Pelagian.
Because Christianity isn't a LARP like modern paganism is.
A lot of people larp as Christians.
It kinda is though, people are just more committed to it because they are surrounded by a greater amount of larpers.
It's the same as with furries. Without being in contact with an echo chamber of other similar freaks, nobody would be willing to take it so far.
Some Christians swear by it, but I refuse to believe that talking in tongues and spazzing out on the floor is anything but virtue signaling.
They don’t even get the “talking in tongues” part right. It’s supposed to mean “speaking in different languages”, but retarded mutt gems thought that it meant “spazzing out and speaking gibberish ie talking with a twisted tongue”
Read scripture more. There are multiple charisms. And if you actually had the Spirit yourself, you'd have the gift of Charity and Patience.
>For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.-1 Corinthians 14:2
And it isn't just a "mutt" or Protestant thing.
>Amongst these favors, at once painful and pleasant, Our Lord sometimes causes in the soul a certain jubilation and a strange and mysterious kind of prayer. If He bestows this grace on you, praise Him fervently for it; I describe it so that
you may know that it is something real. I believe that the faculties of the soul are closely united to God but that He leaves them at liberty to rejoice in their happiness together with the senses, although they do not know what they are enjoying nor how they do so. This may sound nonsense but it really happens. So excessive is its jubilee that the soul will not enjoy it alone but speaks of it to all around so that they may help it to praise God, which is its one
desire.-St. Teresa of Avila, Interior Castle, Ch. 6
Acts 2:4-12
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem israelites, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, israelites and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

That’s it, I’m done trying to believe in this stuff. Maybe on my deathbed I’ll come crawling back.
I am a Christian, friend. Tongue talking has ceased. You don't have to believe in it, it's a larp. Some evangelical and Pentecostal denominations are cringe.
Would this bullshit ever arise in a non-monolingual country? Like only Americans would think random retard-babble is a foreign language
Would saying a bunch of random words in more than one language be any less retarded?
Yes. You see the same thing happen in Catholicism regarding Latin, or in Orthodox countries regarding Old Church Slavonic and Koine Greek. The point is to create an anti-language, meaningless babble divorced from any kind of content. That way, you can fill it with whatever your want. At Mass, the priest tells the faithful a bunch of nonsense about a Rabbi being his own dad and not owning clothes, but the laity just hear INDOMNINANATUS PRINCIPENTIS NON PROXIMIMATE PROLICTO PORTAS and it's all super basado and giga tradical because they can make it mean whatever they want.
All Evangelicals are doing with Speaking In Tongues is adding a shamanic ecstasy to this by letting you say whatever gibberish you want and get high off your own supply instead of having the priest do it for you.
>INDOMNINANATUS PRINCIPENTIS NON PROXIMIMATE PROLICTO PORTAS
ah yes i agree
American christianity really is the paganlarp of abrahamism
There are. Anon, what do you think Protestants are?
Plenty of people have gnostic or gnostic adjacent philosophical beliefs but don't treat it as an actual religion. The only sect that might be worth bringing back in my eyes would be nestorianism
What is so special about Nestorians?
>no neo-Marcionists
I've seen a bunch of Christian Nazi posters here saying Marcionism-like shit.
Cathars weren't real prove me wrong
In a sense. They called themselves bonhommes, not cathars.
Because Christianity is inherently progressive
>Hey buddy! Still wearing that horse mask and bleeding to death on a cross?
>ZAMBONI CANNOLI CIABBATA
>Alexios and his God
Ask any of the nerds who roleplay as crusaders on here about Christian theology and they'll come up with those heresies on the spot to justify whatever twitter garbage they've clung to this week. Muscular Christianity, sunning your balls, carnivory, all of these have been condemned by the Church Fathers as unforgiveable sins and yet goobers keep coming back to them.
We can't discuss judaism or atheism in a negative light at all, but atheists and israelites can spam LULZ all day long with low quality spam like this thread.
>We can't discuss judaism or atheism in a negative light at all
Is this your first day here? This board is spammed for hours a day with a wide assortment of anti-israeli NOI and NatSoc materials.
>Even neo-pagans are a thing
You see it some. There were some Brits who were trying to revive Arianism but I think they broke up.
In a general sense there’s more neo-gnostics than there are legitimate neopagans. You can find far more people talking about “ascended master Jesus” and “the lost secrets of Christianity” than you will find people actually willing to sacrifice a Bull to Jupiter or Tyr.
There are, they just don't use the same names (except for Gnostics, who call themselves Gnostic despite the fact that that turn was created by the early Orthodox to lump various sects together, who never identified as Gnostics). There are thousands of Christian sects, many of them have similar beliefs to early heretical sects. Unitarians and JWs are modern-day Arians basically, who reject the Trinity.
>Why are there no movements to revive early sects of Christianity that have been forgotten?
there exist such sects, like JWs, they just don't want to admit that they are heretics that were condemned by the early Church.
