You have to realise that when Jesus walked the streets of Jeruselum that the streets stunk of burning animals. In those days man thought the only way to be free of guilt for ones "sins" was to burn an animal and preform certain rituals. Jesus came to set the record strait and did a damn good job. Of course since his death man has taken that going to church every sunday is enough to be free of guilt. But a true Christian will know that this is not correct if he truely understood the message. Much of new age philosophy is I believe the true message made clear for the modern man to understand.
I'm not trying to preach here. What I want to get across is that it is not the Word that is false. It is man's interpretation and then application that has been false because he has chosen to use the word for personal gain rather than understanding and following the true teaching within. It's not a bad book and for many they have understood it.
That`s right!
You explained it very well Initiate!
Old testament was a rough elementary school for totally ignorant people, then when the time was right Son of God came and taught people the high school thing, in the future we will have college education from God and his
son.
When we graduate from college, then we will set ourselves on grand journey on thorough learning of everything in universe and finally be one with Creator and his son.
Eyes to see ,ears to hear-anyone?
