Sure, if you're a Jew.
Let me guess, you think the OT was written by Moses and a few prophets and is literal history?
Or that all the Pauline epistles were actually written by Paul? Or the gospels were written by their namesakes, not decades later by literate scribes that collected decades of oral tradition?
Anyone whose Christianity and faith relies on a decidedly ignorant view of the real history of scripture is ignoring Christs words and is building on a foundation of sand. Stop idol-worshiping the text itself, start worshiping the God that inspired the text.
>unironically refers me to suckle at the teat of a "theologian" in the same sentence as accusing me of repeating "dogma"
how about do your own research and learn the plain truth about what the bible is, and what it isn't
Then let the appreciation for what it is, build faith and motivate you to serve the God that is revealed through the text
God is truth, and any system of belief that forces you to deny truth and reality to serve him is Satanic, that should be very plain to see
I get it though, it can be attractive for weak minds to follow orthodoxy rather than grapple with God yourself.
I choose to write the law on my heart as Christ suggested. Organized religion is a pathetic attempt of men to reject the path Christ offered and to return to the vomit of orthodoxy and law. They do this because the true path of Christ doesn't offer any means for control, or profit, or exclusion.
You are drawn to it for the same reasons, just see how triggered you get if anyone understands the bible differently than you
