Of course Jesus Christ didn't exist when Pythagoras and Plato was alive, but I meant that they didn't care about a savior archetypal that was prophesied in the Old Testament to be considered by any stretch of the imagination to be a prerequisite for "salvation" through the work and sacrifice of someone else. An external objective salvation didn't make sense to them in comparison to internal salvation through subjective enlightenment and union between your own spirit and the Nous and the Monad which the Nous and the Monad are coprinciples of each other just as one can't separate a mind behind a principle and a principle behind a mind. This concept is also known as the aoristos dyad, which doesn't exist in Christianity, neither does Henosis. The Greeks didn't believe that Theoria needed a mediator between them and the divine principle. The Orthodox Church's concept of Theoria is not biblical, they downplay the crucifixion of Jesus Christ dying for our sins to be something necessary and instead, unnecessary, yet all the while trying to gain salvation through their own external works of faith when salvation comes before faith itself.
