For what it’s worth, here are my two cents: the bible of Christianity
is the story of a race of people over the course of hundreds and
hundreds of years. It covers a host of situations, personal and
otherwise that allow for “lessons” in life to be grasped by the hearer
or, later, reader. It is the story of this group of people who were
successful in bringing to the planet the concept of ONE god and it cost
them dearly since that time in blood and death through the 20th century
and is threatened even more today in the 2lst century.
Then along
came Jesus Christ and he not only died for every humans’ past, present
and future sins, but he died to create an everlasting covenant of love
and peace between humans who believed in his message and his father and
followed it. That became the New Testament. While we may argue, discuss
and use the Old Testament to uplift our side, remember, the New
Testament rules. Is it possible for a human being to claim Jesus Christ
and hate and damn at the same time? I don’t think so. We have yet to
fully understand and live by Jesus Christ and/or his Father.
It is clear that if you truly love who and what you are, you will love
others and can do no harm. The problem? Humans are human and too many
love money, power, prestige controlling others. These “people” actually
think they know best and the Pastor Wright is one of those! The beauty
of the Bible old and new is that it works whether you believe or not.
You just have to live it, minute by minute of every day of your life.
