Christians: generally the worst messengers of god and christ. The bible was written by men. Right there, men are not characteristically the best messengers of the heart, women are. First and foremost jesus, by legend a supreme being not a man, spoke from the heart. The bible in all its iterations is what a bunch of guys thought, fantasized and said a couple of thousand years ago. And likewise a whole bunch of other guys have tweaked it over the ensuing centuries to further their own mortal agendas. The bible is a 100% faith based publication. You can’t prove that god or jesus said anything at all that is attributed to them in that book. The party line is that these men, the original propagators and the tweakers, were either inspired by god or jesus to speak doctrine or even better yet they claim that god or jesus actually spoke to them. Enter the faithful. I once asked a Jehovah Witness that approached me with the book if he would believe me if what I was about to tell him was truly a bonafide inspiration from god. He smiled sweetly and said no. I asked him why not and he just smiled nervously again, dodged the question, hit the reset button and resumed the party doctrine. Within any so called christian community if I were to repeatedly insist that god or jesus was speaking to me directly, using me as a mouth piece, I would be put on Halaperidol or Thorazine and moved into “the system”. It is unfortunate that christians can’t just get with the spirit of jesus and drop kick the book of man. This new pope would like to get there but he too has a hard time retiring the book. And sadly, even if he were so inclined his crew would never allow it; he would be muzzled and put to pasture tout suite. Actually, he better watch himself. Contrary to popular catholic lore the pope is not the head of the church, the institution is the head of the church and the pope is a sentimental suggestion. If Phil Robinson was really as tough and hard boiled as he sells himself on TV he would walk naked with jesus, no biblical safety net just the raw spirit of jesus.
