    Bro that fact that he had the dream/vision and it wasn't just some random crap is interesting. Makes you think that maybe it is a vision (although I know how the rebellion ends so idk..)✝

      Modern China is an atheist country, and Christians make up a very small proportion of the Chinese population.

    If Hong Xiuquan won, he would basically became the Chinese Muhammad, and the Baishangdijiao would not be considered a Christian variant but like Islam, an Abrahamic but completely separate religion. And thus the Abrahamic religions would dominate the whole world except India and Japan.
    The Baishangdijiao dogma is actually a lot more interesting than "Hur dur I'm Jesus' brother". They believe the ancient Shangdi(上帝, "lord of the up") that was worshipped in ancient China (like, Shang dynasty oracle bone ancient, 3000 years ago) were the same being as Yahweh. But as time went on, the Chinese became corrupted and started worshiping idols and their own ancestors instead of Shangdi/Yahweh/God.
    Finally when Qin Shi Huang united China and considered himself greater than 王(king), so he invented a new term for himself, the Huangdi (皇帝, emperor). It's like a giant "fuck you" to Shangdi, so he abandoned the Chinese and went blessing the west instead. If you notice the Qin dynasty started about 200 years before Jesus' birth, you can kinda see how he formed this reasoning.

    In fact, from Wendigoon's knowledge, Jesus did has siblings, but they turned their backs on him because of jealousy. So in fact it gave credence to Hakka claiming the Vatican was infiltrated by "Devil-Dogs" especially with how they played their cards throughout history. And who they supported, Hakka was pretty much right about it all.

    • @liarwithagun

      It wouldn't surprise me if whoever Jesus actually was had siblings. This shouldn't actually be a big contradiction to Christians because Christ is the son of God and Mary, not Mary and her husband. So Mary's other kids shouldn't really be all that relevant to sceipture.

      The scripture never says that Mary had other children. It only says that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Generally it’s assumed that Joseph was an older man who already had children from a previous marriage and that he died sometime before Jesus’s ministry due to his lack of presence past the nativity. It’s taught that Mary herself was a perpetual virgin by the Church, who has the authority to decide on matters of interpretation like this.
      It’s also possible that the brothers and sisters of Jesus could’ve been other relatives, as the term for brothers and sisters was used much more broadly back in those days.
