What religion is my co-worker

Not sure if it’s Kabbalah. She talks a lot about Jesus Christ and about eating his body and drinking his blood except instead of receiving him in holy communion she believes you somehow have to travel through time to receive his body and blood… I think she has completely bonefide lost her mind.

Well, Catholics also talk about eating flesh and drinking blood when speaking about communion, so without knowing exactly what she said, that could be entirely little o orthodox. Same thing for the time travel, depending on what she said. Mass is a re presentation of Christ’s once and for all sacrifice. If there were such a thing as time machines then maybe the comparison would be apt.

I’m pretty certain she isn’t talking about it with the same understanding as catholics. Shes said that theres people at her “church” who haven’t eaten food in over a year because they are able to travel through time.

Well, “give us this day our daily bread” seems to me how it goes. The risen Christ are fish in Luke 24. I’d be hugely sceptical that this (not eating and time travelling) is something people could or should attempt.

But while they are at it, could they fetch you back the winning lottery numbers for next week? Times are hard right now, it would be a big help.

Kabbalah meets the list you included in your OP. Christian Kabbalah incorporates the New Testament as an extension of mystical Kabbalah, with ideas of a God-aura vibration reached by Jesus. So they believe Jesus was a mystic steeped in the ideas and beliefs of Kabbalah.

The incorporation of Catholic teaching is not unusual for Kabbalah, as there is the belief that all mystic/religious ideas ultimately point to the same thing (Kabbalah).

I still think the foundation is Christian Kabbalah, with your co-worker incorporating other teachings. I doubt Catholicism has been the only source of her belief system. She has, essentially, invented her own religion. Not unusual in this time where people are easily confused, seek to make sense of the world, and cobble together something that only makes sense in its entirety to themselves.

The person you described could be my good friend. I don’t think there is a name for that. She has sort of compliled a mishmash of various beliefs that she likes and calls it her faith. She gets alot of it from the evangelical Church she was brought up in, but they’ve thrown her out now so she purposely rejects half of what they taught her and have replaced it with alot of newage stuff instead.
