With each teacher (whether they're a parent or a theologian), what is taught is changed just a little from what was embraced by the previous generation. For instance, none of us think about things in the same light that our grandparents or great grandparents did. Take that concept and extend it by two or three thousand years and things will naturally be different than they were when it all began. Many religions get so wrapped up in "being right" that I think they lose sight of the fact that our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs evolve - and that it's okay that they do. When you look back on some of the older texts without any preconceived ideas, there's some pretty crazy stuff that we simply don't see anymore.Jeffrey Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031056305581520834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234085286483700319.post-7801327059949937782011-05-12T06:51:45.538-07:002011-05-12T06:51:45.538-07:00Interesting.

Now as a practicing pagan, if I were to go back and read it again, I would probably see it. Interesting how the Bible and Christianity is so full of contradictions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908048267849662297noreply@blogger.com
