Scriptures are the foot prints of humanity in the course of progress and perfection. They are lights in an otherwise dark labyrinth.

In this view, all Scripture is perfect, and true. When contradiction appears then it's a clue to some underlying mystery. For example, in the Abrahamic religions, there's often a contention that the age of the earth is much older than say, those who take Genesis accounts and other periods into account. But my understanding of Genesis is that the Earth began when humanity gained consciousness of itself. The garden of Eden is most likely the womb. Adam is archetypal Man.

Christ is second Adam. Another archetype. That's why he's born of a virgin. And his story is a matter of the mystical where Man must part ways with the banal, and helplessness and transcend to greater heights of spirituality, in order to find peace even on earth. That's how Christ is King. That's how Christ is a revolutionary. That's how he heals. And indeed that's how humanity can move forward to 'heaven'.

It's possible that we're not educated enough to study Scripture that the more we perceive ourselves to be educated, the less accessible the Scriptures become and the more we get alienated from our faiths. And Christianity has particularly accepted miseducation and neglect of the Scripture. Christ is no longer the revolutionary, he's pro-establishment, pro 'normal'.

How much does 'education' change human behavior?

Don't know whether to laugh or whether to cry
