For those of you who love the bible, do you think its been a little overcomplicated?
by TimothyT inthis weekend i read the gospel according to matthew and john.. it felt lovely as i was simply learning about jesus and his teachings, which are incredibly easy to understand and which amount to what i feel is a fabulous guide to life.. but what about the old testament... is it just history?
is it important?
should a christian spend too much time reading it?

Confusing messages at DC

session (with a drama although timely for families i thought would never end) and a couple of bizarre things stood out.. very poor attempt at explaining the overlapping gen. new light.
during the brother's talk he said" there are two phases to the overlapping generations".

Literacy and eternal salvation
by dgp inchristianity began (or so goes the claim) as a group of mostly illiterate and poor fishermen.
most people were illiterate at the time.
so, the god of that religion, then, did not require that you be literate in order to be saved.
