That being said, I am not dismissing the Bible as a whole, after all is contains the story of Christ. Not the entire story mind you just the official version. There is the matter of the Dead Sea scrolls. Why are they not in the Bible? Guess they were not considered âThe Word of Godâ.
I tend to think of the Bible like this: It starts with a creation myth and evolves towards Christ consciousness.
Deepak asked just last week I believe, and I am paraphrasing, âHow long should people who practice tolerance put up with intoleranceâ? Well, Good question Deepak. I guess I found my limit and I will have to work on expanding my level of tolerance.
However, I find it difficult to tolerate it, when people proclaim that my soul and the souls of the wonderful people I have met here is somehow condemned, unless everybody follows their dogmatic, narrow view of the world.
