Christianity, is a Religion today, that seems, to find, no peace (whatsoever), with regards really, to, Conventionality (as with, attacks even). One finds that, even, with Islam, the worst, that often, happens, is Critique, or straight out, Criticism. This though, is not true, of Christianity, which many, are ready, even, to, 'defile', as some, are more willing, to give, precedence (in thought), to, 'primitive' African Religions (some, which do, exist), while, disregarding, anything, that, Christianity, has to say.
Christianity, is in many ways, a misunderstood, Religion, but one, old enough [as with the Ankh really], to be, respected, as in many ways, it is, truly, at, the heart, of, Human Evolution, on this, Planet, in more ways, than one, can, fathom [one cannot speak, of, World History (Evolutionary wise), without, thinking, Christianity].
The problem with Christianity [unlike Islam, which is heavily, based on, Thought] [as with, other Religions too], is that in all [similar to what, most, believe, about African Religion, erroneously], Christianity, does give a, precedence, to, Experience itself, rather than, Thought. In many ways, while one, could agree, that, Islam, does trump, other, Religions, as with regards, to Thought, nobody really, knows, what to do, with, Christianity, due mainly, to, failing to realize, that, Christianity, is really, an, Individual Religion, and not, group, as, the Catholic Church, might have us, believe. It is in many ways, a Religion, founded on, truly believing (as with, deciphering too), ones Experiences (as being, unique too in nature, perhaps, as with, a conversation, between, only you, and, God). Only by seeing, Christianity this way, can one, believe, in, Christian Philosophies, such as, that, of, Miracles, or even, 'The Good Samaritan'.
Christianity, is ever more, important, today, as it was, in, the Evolutionary past, where then, Experience, played, a much bigger role, in, general survival even, as compared, to, Thought.
Christianity today (as perhaps, with, Conventional Religion), is greatly, misunderstood, due mainly, to, the Catholic Church. It is the, Catholic Church, that in many ways, turned, Religion [and especially, Christianity], into, a Group Religion, heavily, moderated, by Morals, Ethics, and, Morality, and in all, distancing itself, from, other Religions, which, are more, geared/based, towards/around, the Individual [In all really, Morals or Ethics, mainly apply, to, Groups, and not, Individuals].
In the past though, what one could call, Conventional Religion [as with, applying really, only, to, the Individual], was in many ways, a study, in, Experience (more, than Thought), and totally, based on, understanding, ourselves, with regards, to, the following three:
1. The 8 Passions
2. The 7 Vices
3. The Annals of Time (or History even)
Most know, what, the 8 Passions, and 7 Vices are, with regards, to, Experience, but, the 'Annals of Time', speak really, of, 'understanding' [knowing, understanding etc.] ourselves, with regards, to, the various Ages, Decades, Epochs etc. [as with, the, 'Age of Respect/Invention']. In all really, what Experiences, these Ages, bring with them, and, how, they apply, directly, even, to our lives [somewhat, as with, Astrology too].
The above three, is the main reason, why, Christianity, is still, today, very much, a, relevant Religion, that, in many ways too, can help, one, not only, deal, with their, History (as with, Personal History), but also, all, other forms, of, History [as especially, with, Group Formations]; In many ways, it can be, the basis, of, helping one, rewrite, their History, so as to give one, a new, breathe of life (as with direction), and even, help one, actually, re-write, their History, as with, regards, to seeing, any, wrong done, from, other, perspectives [as with, a full understanding, of the Passions, Vices, and, 'the Annals of Time'].
If you really, want to gain, a new beginning [as with, a fresh breathe really], in ones, Life, then Christianity [as it was, in the past], is, the way, to go, as other, Religions, really, are more, of, the Intellectual kind, and not, Experiential [which is what, Life, is really, all about] [If you don't, believe, that Cindy Crawford, could come, knocking, on your door, its because, you are, probably, too, Intellectual (although Islam, could, indeed, make it happen); However, Christianity, might even, bring, Jack Nicholson, and, Cindy Crawford, to your, very door, as with, a Miracle (waiting to happen)].
There are different, versions really, of, Christianity [as Conventional Religion], and below, will be, attempted, the task, of, actually, attempting, to show (as with, the above really), that, Christianity [as Conventional Religion], when well, understood, can bring about, all, the Life experiences (often small, but, major) [as with, someone, offering, to buy something, for one, perceived, out of ones, 'price range'], that make Life in itself, worth, living out.
North America: Russian Orthodox
Russian Orthodox Christianity, is one, that, is heavily, in general, misunderstood. It is similar in nature, to, the Ethiopian Coptic Church [although, the Ethiopian Church, does contain, Nubian Christianity, in it], but in reality too, both, have their foundations, with, Judaism [or atleast, Judaism, began, as a form, of, Orthodox Christianity] [In many ways too really, in the form, of, Christian Mysticism]. Russian Orthodox Christianity, is one, believed, to be, of great use, to, North American, populations, as with, dealing, with, the Experiential [as regards, to, everyday, happenings, either good, or bad].
Recommended Work: 'The Russian Orthodox Bible' - In many ways too, espousing, the beliefs, of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
South America: Greek Byzantine Christianity (Germania)
The German wing, of, Greek Byzantine Christianity [as with, the Lutherans even (later on)], is in, many ways, deemed, suitable, for, South America [as with, Life Experiences].
Recommended Work: The Septuagint
Europe: Greek Byzantine Christianity (Roma)
The Roma Church [as with, Italian Civilization really], has always, played, a rather, large role (of sorts), in, European, daily life. The Roma Church, is rather,, misunderstood, as many have associated it, strongly, with, the Vatican, and, the belief, of, a Pope, sorting out, all, forms, of mayhem, as with, Religiousity issues [all over Europe]. In reality though, the Roma Church, was one, totally, based on, publishing, all kinds, of works, to help, Europeans, deal with, the Experiential [as with the Vices, or Passions, they being, more instigated in general, in the European World, than in, other regions, of the World]. In many ways, the works published, were similar, to, 'The Life's Compass Guide Series', and instead really, of thinking, of, the Roma Church, as, an Intellectual Class/Group (organized in all), one should, really think of it, as a, Printing Press (moderated/regulated, by, 'the Church').
Recommended Work: 'The Mystery of God's Word' by Raniero Cantalamessa & also 'Once more from Emmaus' by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini - the two, are, examples, of the works, that, the Roma Church, would put out, for, the consumption, by, the masses. In most ways really too, the works, by, Cardinal Carlo Maria, are in all, rather, good works, for, Europeans, as with, the, Experiential.
[One should in all, realize, the difference, between, these works, and, Literature, as Literature, is, Intellectual in nature, while these, works, speak of, all, the possible, Experiences, one, could probably, experience].
Africa: African Christianity
African Christianity, in many ways, stems from, Nubian Christianity, and has come, to influence, the world, in, many/more ways [as with the Experiential], than most, could imagine, due mainly, to, the Catholic Church, basing its, Synod, very much, on, Nubian Christianity. In all, really, African Christianity, is deemed, right, for Africans, and those, living in Africa really, as with, the, Experiential, and not, for, the World (at large).
Recommended Work: The Apocrypha
Asia: Spanish Christianity
Spanish Christianity, has often, differed, from other, forms, of European Christianity, as due mainly, to, the fact, it is, not, based on, Gnosticism. In many ways, a Church, associated, with, the Bible (as popularly known, today), and in general too, with, Missionary Missions, all over/around, the World. In many ways, deemed rather suitable, for, Asia, as the Experiences, contained, in the Bible, mirror those, of, the Asian World[and is also, why, Spain in general, feels, somewhat, like Asia].
Recommended Works: 'The Holy Bible' (Catholic Church edition) & 'The Ignatius Bible' - the latter, is deemed, more suitable, for South East Asia, and the former, for, East Asia.
The Middle East: Coptic Orthodox Christianity
Coptic Orthodox Christianity, has its origins obviously, in, Egypt, and heavily figured, around, the Coptic Christ. A Byzantine form, of Christianity too, it, in most ways, more than, other forms, of Byzantine Christianity, goes well, hand in hand, with, Islam [as with, Experiences].
Recommended Works: 'The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible' - of Coptic origins, and not Essene, or 'Judeo'.
As a finality, one must, learn, what is, actually been said here, that these, Recommended Works, and forms, of Christianity, have to do, with, the Experiential [meaning in general, what, one Experiences], while, other branches, of, Religion/Christianity [as with, the Atman too], are all, mainly, Intellectual in nature [as with, Science even]. They do not in all, speak of, possible, Life Experiences [as with Miracles] really, and for them, to actually, function/'work', they have, to be driven, by, the Experiential [and in all, making, Christianity, very necessary, for, human existence, on this Planet].
