Immediate thought looking at this is "Bayonetta is a christian theological educational game"
yeah "powers & principalities" in Ephesians 6:12 was definitely referring to a special type of angel and not like, the government.
Christianity does get pretty wack sometimes, with schema monks and cofraternities of penitents
It feels like it may as well be occult to give more of a shit about believing in this hierarchy of heaven stuff beyond "hey they have things figured out up there." Like you're expecting to go there anyways so beyond treating it like a travel brochure, whats the purpose?
Contemporary Christians definitely just yearn for the occult anyways, look at shit like angel numbers where it's just pure vibes based numerology with a new label on it.
Used to be a lot cooler. Gnostic Christians leaned into a lot of the esoteric and mystical aspects of Jewish myths. Reading the Book of Enoch is like reading lore from the Diablo franchise.
Real talk honestly; Gnosticism is the only way studying Christianity as a mythos is interesting to me.
Oh yeah definitely. Though I find Celtic and Slavic mythologies far more interesting.
but it's actually awesome
