Come on...look at me (don't look over there...) now.....
You are a intelligent person and you know that we all love you...( I think?)
Sit down a minute...
Do you honestly believe all this stuff?
Do you honestly believe that a true god would destroy a human being when even I cannot kill a wasp.
He who is greater than myself has less compassion?
God doesn't kill anyone from His perspective. He makes the souls going from one realm to another. Death is not death from His vantage point. Nothing to do with the compassion but with our personal evolution on a large time scale. It is because you are a human in flesh that you wrongly interpret and judge things. Real life is not material but spiritual, in a real spiritual body of light. And this is this goal we must reach!
We have temporary material bodies like we have temporary spiritual bodies. Reincarnation means that our soul inhabit both these temporary material and spiritual bodies. The latter includes the former when being incarnated on earth.
I believe that you see the world as black or white when it actually is more or less grey. The Scriptures were not written to control the human race but were USED to do it, centuries after having being written through selection of texts and, above all, through oriented interpretations because those in charge didn't have our own modern education. They necessarily were limited in terms of worldview.
There is one thing that you totally forget, like many people here, about the Scriptures. Only the priests and monks were authorized to read and copy them. For centuries, not months or years, the laymen were not allowed to even have a copy and then read them (it was so long to make a hand copy of a 2,000 pages book!). Then, the people were allowed to read them themselves (with the coming of printing), but never to comment them. At last, with the evolutive progresses in education, science and technologies, people became free to think and comment, provided that printing books became far cheaper.
Now, with Internet, everyone can read, think, comment and reject the whole thing, or a part of it. But rarely people imagine that different interpretations of the same texts could be provided. Why? Because there is a difference between an opinion and a study. Lazy people offer opinions. Educated people provide new interpretations. Guess what? There are more opinions than interpretations.
Anyway, people forgot two millennia of evolutive practices and therefore conclude that all was written to control the people. This is a sad shortcut from people supposed to use their intelligence, unlike the first priests whose religious messages to the people had to be very simple to get their attention. So, the distortion doesn't come from the texts themselves (few changes have been made in the first hand) but from their interpretations which had to be even caricatural to the extreme to be 'understood'. It was not evil at the beginning, but it became evil once the caricature definitively replaced the expertise.
The proof? I offered new a interpretation, far more logic and proved by history, of the Bible prophecies that none has ever proposed since centuries, and even millennia.
Do you think that people have really changed? Look at the elections. People don't read the political programs of the people they are supposed to elect. They just vote for people who say them and do what seduce them the most. Now, short tweets, often full of lies, or unproved claims, suffice to 'explain' things to people.
Again: MISINTERPRETATIONS leading to rejection. Genesis is full of symbols, just symbols and archetypes.
We are not sinners because of a mythical couple. We are sinners because we have been offered, through a symbolic initial couple, to incarnate in the material realm. Reaching the knowledge, or accessing to the Knowledge, implies to live the material experience through which we can make the difference between good and evil.
The control of the people has nothing to do with that. BUT what the clergy PROGRESSIVELY did with that is, indeed, the control of the people.
The coming of Christ on earth was the new covenant, that is to say the way to get out from the repeating cycle of birth and death, provided that we, alone, are not able to reach what was our first goal, aka the spiritual body of light. And guess what? He came approximately in the middle of the 7 days of God! One leg down into the mud, for the first part, one leg up, half way.
I will continue later.
