Regarding Christianity, its Doctrines and its History... you will find that if you divide it up into Good and Bad, Right and Wrong, Light and Darkness, you will find that all the Things of Christ and Mary will be on the Side of Goodness, Right and Light, and all the things of Paul and Greek Gentilism will on the Side of the Devil, what we should see as Antichristical.
You see, I am an Old Man now, but when I was young I set off on a study of the Saints of all the World Religions in order to discern what it was that they all had in common -- it was an effort to deduce the essential factors of a working Spiritual Religion. One of my observations was that Paulist Christianity never ever had a Christ-like Supernatural Saint -- the Catholic Secular Clergy is as spiritual impotent as any Protestant, and Protestantism has gone 500 years without its first Saint. The Marian Catholics, though subjudgated enough by the Bishops of the Secular Clergy so that they cannot overtly pronounce against Paul and Paulist Doctrine, nevertheless, ignore Paul and Paulist Doctrines in all of the Spiritual Practices.
Regarding the other Religions of the True Saints, we have seen Saints come out of Zoroastrianism and its Sufi Sects (while Sufis say they are Islamic, well... they have to say that or they become Dead Sufis, but historically the Sufis predate Islam and source back out of Zoroastrianism. Sufis are to Islam what the Catholic Religious Orders are to Christianity -- Secret Spirituality held under duress and suppression by Idiotic and Satanic Usurpers). We have had Hindu Saints, with their Yoga, attain to Sainthood. And then their are the Mahayana Buddhists. People talk of Real Buddhists as opposed to the Mahayana or the Later Buddhists... but if you want an Effective Religion and Spirituality, one needs to look at the New and Improved Buddhist Sects for any signs of Effective Spiritual Development. The Original Buddhists resolve to a kind of amoral nihilistic materialism which seeks to implement a kind of voluntary catatonia or autism -- a way of coping with Reality through escapism. That is not what Spiritualism is about. What the Mahayana Movement did for Buddhism was to discern the necessity for Social Morality and Collectivism into their practical view of Spirituality.
Moral Collectivism is one of those central and essential elements of what we can discern as the Religion of the Saints, the Saints of the Higher Religions. People talk about 'love', and though I find it a silly word, one can see it over and over again in the Saints of the Higher Spiritual Religions and the Supernatual Miraculous Saints. To lift 'love' above the silliness, one can reduce it to the concept of recognizing that their is a actual sympathy and substrate which joins all Humanity together in one great common Life-force. In essential spiritual terms, we are not just separate individuals, but we are all One. Spiritual Realization is the recognition that we are part of a Collective Consciousness.
