Opus 2026-170: Gathering Around the Tree

Why were the Jews so dense?  God did not really demand that much.  One of the false flags that are waved in our faces is that you could not keep the law.  Rubbish.  The Rabbis came up with 613 laws to be observed.  I hear a lot of Christians refering to them but my guess is that they have never bothered to look into what the 613 consist of.  Many are duplications.  Many apply to temple worship and with no temple they are a bit archaic.  Many only apply to priests, Levites and members of city councils in ancient Israel.

It is still a real question.

Think about your Old Testament.  Much of it involves reciting the rebellion and debauchery of Israel and God’s threats if they don’t straighten up.  They started with a golden calf and ended up wandering for 40 years.  They kept trying to conquer Canaan their way.  The judges oversaw brief periods of toeing the line.  God sent prophets for hundreds of years and only a few listened.

And what about the New Testament church.  If they had not been so sinful we would have little of the letters of Paul to read.    

So the problem was not the egregious demands of the law or the impossibility of keeping it.  The problem was not ignorance.  It went much deeper than that.  In fact it goes back to the Garden of Eden when the serpent implied Eve could be as a god.  It is still our modus operandi today.  

The organized church acts like it is the serpent rather than the voice of God.  The Bible is ignored or interpreted according to the latest social fashion.  Truth is denied because it requires submission and confession of sin.  Sin is embraced in all its forms and called righteousness.  God is rejected for the advice of the latest mega church guru.  

Join me in looking deep into our hearts and checking our motivation.  We are in history and history is the constant challenge of people trying to echo the choice of Eve.  God have mercy on us.  I have a feeling His patience is wearing thin.
