He was teaching things that their Rabbis did not. He exposed them for twisting the scriptures and promoting the traditions of men over the word of God……these were men who supposedly served the same God as he did, but his was a completely different presentation of that same God.You ask if Jesus was a .....new age....(I conclude you mean .....religion....) I would say not...otherwise He would have no faith in His Father.
Yes, we rightly oppose what God condemns. We know that he abhors false religion, and we know that when Israel tried to mix their worship with false religion, he punished them.There have been many elements of society against God and His word through out history. The righteous have shown their opposition correctly so.
I’m not sure what you mean by that…..but going by your past comment, is it that you are against more modern translation of the Bible taking the place of the KJV?Presently there are those of us who are expressing our indignation at what society is doing to God;s word...in hopes of at least limiting it from advancing.
Have you ever done verse by verse comparisons? Perhaps you should try that and see for yourself how much more you can get out of reading something in the language we speak today.…after all, it’s the language of our prayers today, isn’t it? If God hears our prayers in any language then we can read the scriptures in any language….
No one speaks archaic English anymore, so just as language evolves and changes overtime, we must adapt accordingly or find ourselves not being understood.…
1 Cor 14:8-11…
”8 For if the trumpet sounds an indistinct call, who will get ready for battle? 9 In the same way, unless you with the tongue use speech that is easily understood, how will anyone know what is being said? You will, in fact, be speaking into the air. 10 It may be that there are many kinds of speech in the world, and yet no kind is without meaning. 11 For if I do not understand the sense of the speech, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a foreigner to me.”
