The notion of a sacred language is the epitome of pseudery.

>>18346710
why

>>18346689
I would think Koine Greek and Latin are also sacred languages in the West. In the next 50 years, Classical Arabic will probably supplant them in Europe as a sacred language, but still. Hebrew is hardly the only one.

>The absence of a sacred language in Christianity becomes even more striking when we observe that the original text of the Hebrew Scriptures, which still exists, serves ‘officially’ only as a basis for the Greek and Latin translations.8 As for the New Testament, only the Greek text is known, and it is from this that all versions in other languages, even the Hebrew and the Syriac, were made; now it is surely impossible to maintain, at least with regard to the Gospels, that this is their true language—that is to say, the language in which Christ’s own words were spoken. Nevertheless it is possible that they were only written in Greek after having been previously transmitted orally in the original language

Guenon makes the distinction between sacred and liturgical languages. Sacred languages are the ones of the revelations(hebrew, arabic, sanskrit, etc.), while liturgical languages are the ones used in religious rites. Jesus didn't spoke in greek, neither in latin nor in slavonic, so they are not sacred languages.

Guenon has to be one of the unluckiest philosophers in history, 99% of his followers are pseuds. Mostly mixed/brown people with chips on their shoulders about whitey, the brown equivalent of "we wuz kangz."

He posts himself constantly. The origin of that picture is he posted it, responded "WOW BASED" to himself, then reposted it a day or two later in a /lit/ humor thread and replied "HOLY MOLY IS THAT GUENONCHAD" to himself. He has recently resumed this practice.

you're just jealous that you will never achieve such a physique as a fat tranny

>>18346799
Jesus spoke aramaic

>>18346799
Slavonic has never been spoken, it's a strictly theological language inspired by the Holy Spirit to the saints Cyril and Methodius.

>>18346689
Well Martin Luther and Johannes Gutenberg spoke Deutsch and they saved/rebooted Western Civilization so I'd say it's that

>>18346689
Clearly this pseud didn't know about our heilige deutsche Kunst!

>>18346799
Its top pseudery, imagine, greek, latin, italian or german, any language with a large body of classical work, poetry, drama, ethics and this freak tries to switch it around to make the language of some desert people sacred because of the non-western concept of seething. I swear on Odin when we finally start persecuting Muslims I will do everything in my power to go after followers of Guenon.
