Atheists and members of other religions can understand as much as Christians do, they see everything in face value because they don't know the religion the New Testament is based upon.
Everyday the Christian is reading idioms, phrases, and metaphors that would only be known to people who knows what is said and done on the 7 feasts.
Christians don't know and can't know the meanings of parables, and idioms based of feasts they do not know, they read the same thing Atheists reads, and they come away with the same meaning.
If you do not know what is said and done everyday in the daily sacrifice, and you don't know what is said on rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, or even Shemini Atzeret, then you shouldn't even read parables, you shouldn't even read Matthew 24 or any of the parables because of THE FACT, that all the parables, and all the book of Revelation is written of the 7 feasts, and if you don't know the law and the feasts, you are just spinning your wheels reading Parables or Revelation, they are IN FACT, based upon tradition and rituals UNKNOWN to Cnristians.
You try and explain THIS FACT to the Christian and they don't get it because they don't know the feasts, they don't know the traditions and idioms.
I know it's so lame because I keep saying things like this, but it is simply the truth.
Assuming one has the Holy spirit is not actually having the holy spirit, and even if there was a single person alive with the power of the Holy spirit, that person STILL HAS TO STUDY.
The spirit can't teach anything to a person who will not study the very things that the spirit came to teach.
There is no person alive with the power of the holy spirit, what we have is millions of people claiming a power that they don't have and it is extreemly obvious.
If somebody has the power of the Holy spirit as fell on Pentecost, I sure would like to know his name. Isn't it so bizarre thst so many millions of people are claiming the power from Shavuot when they don't keep Shavuot?
BIZARRE, and then they quote New Testament scriptures written to and about Gentile converts of Judaism when they aren't converts of Judaism.....
The Christian quotes promises written to Gentiles who became like Jews, practicing the same religion as Jews, ''God's religion.''
None of those promises in the New Testament are written to modern Christians, I really wish Christians would stop quoting them as if they are in the same religion as the first Christians.
