To Be Human Is To Be Divine!
Why does it have to be human or divine? Maybe to be human is to be divine. Lately many young people tell me they are trying to read the bible from cover to cover. I always share “good luck” on understanding and getting much out of it. It is a library of stories written by humans in a specific place, at a specific time. Until you get to the gospels it simply doesn’t make much sense. So many stories and so much confusion. The bible is not a book written for Christians. The bible is not meant for a certain group of people or a certain religion. The bible is a book about what it means to be human and to be human is to be divine. Jesus only talked about scripture once, in the book of John, and then he simply said the whole thing was about himself. Yet daily we use the bible to bang people over the head with, that we think do not live up to certain standards, as we interpret it. Many do not know that there are seventy five books written for the bible that were left out. Even Mary Magdalene wrote one that the Council of Carthage chose to leave out in 393 AD. The whole of scripture was written for one purpose and one purpose only. The bible was written to bring full enlightenment about love. Jesus life was the supreme example of love. That is what I tell these young people. “Live a life of love and compassion, and don’t sweat the parts you can’t understand”.
