In the previous post we took a look at the prevailing hermeneutic of Christendom and discovered that it was driven by the hermeneutic of the rabbis. Often you hear the invoking of Matthew 5:17-20 to demonstrate that Jesus was totally on board with the rabbinical hermeneutic and, I do not think that this is the case.

I began this blog in 2009 to chronicle my paradigm shift. It came about because I was concerned with the way that current evangelical dogma caused such bondage and fear. I had grown tired of people manipulating others for power, prestige, and to perpetuate a system that was very likely incorrect, and had been developed after the first century to keep people under control. I dedicate this to those who have been victims of spiritual abuse, and for those who have not yet realized they are.

God saw what I wish a lot of us would see, and that is we need to do things a new way (New Covenant). The old way was no longer working, so He did a new thing; He sent the ultimate sacrifice. We really should follow suit and stop doing things the same old way and getting the same old results.
