Historicity of Jesus - 2

[ramana]

Muhammad's mission was to revive the old control of the known world(goal of the Middle East orders) mission that the Church forgot once the Roman Emperor converted. Their logic was why bother controlling the world, when the Roman Emperor serves the Church and thru him they can control the world. In other words the Church became Europeanized(Greco-Roman)from its Near Eastern roots.



What Muhammad saw was that the original mission focus was lost and created a new order(Islam) to return to direct control. This mission focus is still with the Sunni-Wahabi Islamists. Its this return to core mission(periodic reset)

which energizes the periodical revival of Islam.



The Reformation and Enlightenment have

cut off this return to core mission for Christianity. This is what is causing the angst in Western societies the transplanting of Near Eastern core valsues on freedom loving individualistic people. The whole saga of Reformation->Enlightenment-> Positivism->Modernism->post-Modernism are ways to throw away this blanket of NE Core values and return to 'pagan' roots.



We see this periodic reset in the X-tian cults that spawn in America - Baptists, etc.



This is what makes the fundoo West have a soft corner for the Sunni-Wahabis.
