Please, don't think so. Malkionism is much different from Christianity. It
resembles the (wrong) idea of Christianity that non- Christians have. The
only real resemblances are in Malkioni culture and social structure, which
is similar to feudal western Europe (which was Christian and not-Malkioni,
of course). Other analogies fail or are irrelevant, IMO.
<<RW christianity don't admit Human returning to Eden Garden, they are
guilty.
Jerusalem?
European antimonical emotion to Jewish culture caused two existence of
Glorantha, Brithini and Vadeli.>>
The idea of guilt preventing people from returning to Heaven is both
pre-Christian and post-Christian, but in two different ways:
It is pre-Christian because it is old-Testament and the Old Testament was
written by Hebrew, not by Christians.
It is post-Christian because the coming of Christ, in history and in every
man's life, allows anybody to enter heaven and removes guilt once and for
all. After Christ, if you don't go to Heaven (in plain, broad terms) it's
your choice, not a consequence of your guilt, and your choice is cause of
yout guilt, not the opposite.
I hope I make myself clear. It is not easy to rend in English and in written
form. I am no Theologist, either. (If Mikael "criticize" me on this last
statement, I shred him to bits. I am a bad tempered mediterranean, you know,
but I often strife to constrain myself except on self-defence).
<<In Artherian Legend, (RW Snodal?)
Yes, he was God's loyal servant, he made reconstruction of Rome in Britain,
and drove pagan Saxons away.
No, he was Enemy of God, read more elder documents (or Bernard Cornwell), he
revered celtic Dragon and Cauldron>>
This is because the Briton cycle of Arthur is no cycle (saga?) at all, in
fact. It is a mixture of several ancient and modern (in Malory's terms)
themes, some dating back to the cave-age, some to the celtic, some to the
Roman age and some unique to Christianity and the late middle ages
(chivalry). I think that discerning this various themes is a godly feat, one
which by far exceeds the means of you and me, dear TERRA.
