I had earlier said to a friend, about the lack of any kind of progress in christian theology, shown all over the world, and noted thus at the ILP religion forum.
Originally most religions began as spiritualities, not orthadoxies. They were once gnostic shamanism and anything similar, from the original cultural context of the tribal styles of life.
Through this came a theory that there were invisible forms of life within and above objects, theory of spirits. Ideas that there are lifeforms existant in alternate dimensions, which still effect the earth but are invisible to anybody other than the energy-sensative or the ones chosen to have higher entities reveal themselves to the person in question. Many alien-contactees in the more modern times are ni exactly like the ancient prophets of that sort, a person whom was chosen then communicated with my some form of life outside of the earth’s ordinary things. Through this came the false and perhaps the real mystics, the first “divine revelations”, which were then recorded but sadly often tampered with.
From thus came somehow the Egyptian and the Jewish mystics, high priests and magicians, in many ways the originators of thus later christian side-effect. Originally what was said, was that God chose certain people, then revealed himself to the chosen, selected ones, and after thus, he left with them his chosen expressions. Though I would perhaps refute and deny the later christian, also I would not say that I have disproven any type of event that I could not experience or know anything about, and there is some amount of real experiences inside of every cultural footprint of ideology.
Originally, though, there was a type of progress. There were the first men whom tried to at least make something like a science, to record all observed phenomenon, to accurately record experiences, and then to form theory. This only happened for a short time, though, and the christian is nothing like the christ. They witness no magic now, they even forbid it, though in the beginning of their mystical religion there was only the magician as the founder, the one who could somehow conjure through his prayer and his initiation and whatever else, so that spirits made manifest, and then the communications and the workings of such spirits were written down. Later it was the unmagical fool whom inherited the religion, aswel as the politicians of rome whom used any religion they could as a pseudo-democratic deception for favor. Any understanding of what was really going on, and most-importantly, the truth about some higher form of superior life, was all lost in the stupidity and numbness of the limitations of the average sheep, and the entire spiritually was then replaced by a type of morality, in which there was nothing given to men other than commands. That is when the religion became nothing but mysterious alterior politics, a whole system of laws, commands, designed not for worthy wisemen but instead designed for the whole population, blanket policies of slow and annoying conquest.
Today foolish theological persons would spend most of their time as lawyers, and only as lawyers of politics, going through the old laws and dancing over the old codes of rules. Each sect and division of the christianity was from a different lawyer whom interprated and applied some old political book of law a little bit differently, reading between each line with their own personal style, so that the leader could use it all as a tool not as a truth.
There is no conversation about what god literally is, or how to interact with such a thing. There is no science at all, no progress, nothing but old codes to enforce. In that way the whole progress died thousands of years ago, and was replaced by decadence.
Originally shamanism and spiritism came from psychism, from sense-extention either through strict training or through psychadelia. In order for anybody to re-establish a protochristianity, they would have to return to the roots which the orthadoxy forbid. In this way, any theological progress would require that the protochristian create entirely new ideas, based on real experiences and supernatural miracles, expanding their mind and thinking outside of the ordinary, refuting all of the religions leaders yet again, and reaching to touch some higher power that was truly great, strong, and more dynamic than the descending hoards of sheep.
Originally theology for the christian was its own exact opposite, but that is what happens when something great is given to the opposite of great, if some superior individual entity were exposed to an inferior and weak group, the eventual result through the hundreds of years of decay, would be eventually, nothing more than the comfort and the security of the suppression of strength, a way to force even the natural down to being weaker than it was, nevermind the supernatural which they cowar before and say sorry to.
