That's what this whole things about ~ 'a very different perspective' @roamer_1
No doubt we, as a Society, as directed by our Forefathers, would not be capable of achieving this much progress in 250 years, as a Society, without the backbone 'Judeo-Christianity'.
I just don't have Your FAITH
But I'm willing to explore and question my current mindset, so to speak, by posting this very Thread.
It is not a matter of faith for me - That faith rests only in Messiah, and the sure promise that was given. Before the fact of that faith, it was all about proof. How does a god prove he is a god? According to YHWH, the gauntlet thrown down across all of history is that he would call his shots, but he'd call em all from the beginning. And they would all happen, just exactly as he says, or he is not God. And he claims, because of his exclusive nature, that he is the only one that can make that claim.
That is a mighty impressive claim, right there. And so far, he ain't missed a lick.
I have read about every prophecy from about every god ever, and believe me, none other can even begin to make that claim. Neither can any humanist.
So because I can prove it, I think my faith is not in vain.
I don't mind a different perspective, providing it's not butchering the text _ and the complexity of the text makes it pretty dang hard to butcher the text without the text calling you out later on.
My own perspective is well afield from most other Christians. But I can defend my use of the text very explicitly. I am not adding to, nor taking away, nor making shit up. That's the demand the text requires. And in that, explicitly *not* doing damage to Torah (the first 5 books). Torah says what it says and no one - not even someone from heaven can change that, or that person is not from Yah.
See, when faced with that sort of complexity it becomes dang hard to lay it out differently than its claim.
That's a pretty tall order.
