    Nevermind the fact that Christ was of the working class, as were the majority of His apostles. Definitely pay no attention to the fact that Christianity was a religion explicitly persecuted by the ancient bourgeoise for hundreds of years before an emperor (the very top of the bourgeoise food chain) converted. The logic of "all religion is made by rich people to oppress the poor" espoused by communists unravels itself. Then begins the backtracking to "oh it was made by the poor to cope and THEN the rich co-opted it", and here we are running around the rope again until we get tired of it and cry "Christ is Lord".

      @KnoxEmDown Not seeing the nascent Marxism in the early Christian community story. See www.equip.org/articles/was-the-early-church-communist/

      ​@@BibleAnswerManI'm well aware Christ is not marxist, nor are His apostles.

    You have a severe misunderstanding of the Catholic middle ages after Constantinople's schism. Please read the two best known figures of that era, Hildegard of Bingen and Francis of Assisi, instead of referencing random figures nobody knows. It's not pessimism. It transformed the world for the better for 500 years while Constantinople slowly dissolved.

      @Shevock Appreciate the counterpoint. But is not there an anthropological pessimism in Western theology reflected in Roman Catholic and Protestant theologies? Yes, there were many advances (technology, science, economics, literature, arts etc.) in the West through the middle ages, the Renaissance, and to the present in the West. But it was also bloody. There were Crusades launched by the Church. Perhaps there were needs to repel Islamic encroachment and secure the Holy Land for pilgrimages, but these were bloody campaigns. There were dissentions and fragmentations in the Western Church, such as the Avignon popes (who was supposed to be the Pontiff). There was the Thirty Years War (Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Lutherans warred against one another). This did make secularism look sexy when it came about, despite all the unintended negative consequences that came with the embracement of secularism. So, Fr. John Strickland explains.

    Kingdom of Heaven earthly (outside)
    Kingdom of God Spiritually (inside)
    Kingdom of God starts in the inside and then expressed on the outside Kingdom of Heaven.
    Christ was both the kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.
    But now as believers, we partake in Him and therefore as he is so are we. We are both as well.
    The reason why the world is failing is because we are the law of this world or the light in this world through Christ. If the church is failing so will the world fail.

    I would replace the word "displaced" with the more accurate "superseded." Christianity is part of an era in which humans explained certain features of life in one certain way - in the case of Christianity, it's an aspiration for cosmic justice. We are most just humans and want life to be just and the fact is--it simply isn't a lot of the time. But that doesn't keep Christians from wanting a reward for behaving in some kind of way. Meaning: It's a TRANSACTION.

      @jenna2431 How has secular humanism superseded Christianity?

      "If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children." - St. Basil the Great, iirc.
      So, Christianity is in proper form when one's worship is NOT merely transactional or (God forbid) fear-based, but rather when it constitutes a loving relationship in the fashion of Heavenly Father and child. As for supercession... Hahahahahaha no. I've seen the fruit of the "secular age", and it is naught but a living death, an atomization and isolation of the human person to a degree so horrific and unsustainable that any civilization which seriously eats of it collapses in on itself... As we are witnessing now. All the "advancement" in the world means nothing if it is at the cost of the human soul.
