There is a great deal of information when the bible is read symbolically. The old testament is about the life of the masses,, the new testament is about the life of the individual and the struggle for consciousness. Weren't you born in poor circumstances amongst ' beasts '. And when you reached puberty did you not ' dissappear ' and enter your own'' inner Egypt' away from the everyday influences of those around you. 'They' are the old testament, you are the new testament.
I actually researched what churches do about the parts where Jesus says we can do what he does and more and apparently this is a part where the message was for his disciples at the time only and is not a message for us to take for ourselves today. But I thought the Bible is inerrant and to be taken exactly and literally? I really was like, wow, that’s cognitive dissonance if I ever saw it!😅
Bill was 100% correct on this one. But people weren’t ready to hear that at that time. Even today, people don’t want to hear this.
I love bill. Wish I was one tenth as articulate
Love Bill!
