I'm not a religious scholar but I am religious.
> Jesus said “follow the Law”. He always taught to follow the law, and never once said it would be obsolete after his crucifixion.
I've always interpreted those conversations to be Jesus attempting to spread an idea that the religious institutions of the time had lost sight of the message of love and peace in return for control and power.
If you read it with Jesus speaking knowing that members of his audience are members of those power groups, you get the sense that he is very, very carefully choosing his words.
- mbfg 8y agoIf you were a maximally powerful being and wanted to explain important concepts to all mankind, would you use such incredibly nuanced wording to do that (if you are even right)? That seems like a horribly terrible plan and implementation.
