Abraham 1.3: Faith-more than belief
 
 
Give you children, land, posterity A lot of people who claim to be “Christians” – in other words who claim to act like Jesus did – have attempted something that Jesus would never have contemplated. A lot of people who claim to be ‘Christians’ have made an immoral grab for the promises God made to Abraham and his posterity. They claim that the posterity to which God was referring – the posterity that would be a blessing to all tribes, tongues and nations – was Jesus and he has done a ‘sweet heart’ deal with them that excludes the Jews, who have the rightful claim to those promises. The problem is that if you look at the things Jesus said and did, it is obvious that the people who claim to be Christians do not seem to be very much like Jesus at all. If you look at all the persecutions, inquisitions and so called ‘holy wars’ such people have unleashed on humanity, it is very difficult to match up their ideas with those ascribed to Jesus. In fact, Jesus said… Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished (Matthew 5:17) So what is the Law of Moses and who are the Prophets who interpreted what that Law means? You will not find out very much about them if you go to any “Christian” church. The “Christian” church has fallen into the trap of endeavouring to constrict the richness of all that is embodied in the concept of the Hebrew God, Jahweh, into its spirit-destroying creeds, dogmas and canon law. Dante, the poet who wrote the tourist guidebook to hell, purgatory and heaven, around 1300 summed it up rather nicely, referring to church canon law as the decretals. For this, The gospel and great teachers (of that gospel have been) laid aside, The decretals (or church law), as their stuft margins show, Are the sole study. Pope and Cardinals, Intent on these, ne'er journey but in thought To Nazareth, where Gabriel op'd his wings. In fact, it is possible to mount an argument that Jesus never intended to set up a church different to that in which he learned, questioned and reformulated his understanding of what the bible is saying. abraham_please_explain.html
