Or... he didn't authorize the Old Testament. It was fraud. Not really divine inspiration? What's it going to be? Either Jesus is the son of the god and they're one in the same, or Jesus disagrees with his dad, or the Bible is man inspired (not the word of the god) and it's no wonder it's a load of contradictions.
I don't know how this can be confusing. Lol
My belief is that God never changed.
God did not write the bible. And while the people who wrote it were "inspired" by God, it was still written by people, through their own perception and their own way of explaining whatever message they needed to get across. Jesus came partially to set the record straight on certain things that people weren't really getting "right." I guess that's why He was so controversial. He was saying many things that contradicted what was written and how people at the time were interpreting.
But anyway, I should say that's why the bible is not the end all be all of my faith.
This is an honest response. Thank you.
