Hello Tyron,

You use a lot of Christian allusions, so it's obvious you've been brought up in a Christian tradition. If you had been brought up in a Jewish tradition, you would ask "What's up with Job," in a Muslim tradition, "What's up with Sharia," in Buddhist tradition, "What's up with the Four Noble Truths, in the Hindu tradition, "What's up with the Upanishads"? There are an estimated 4,200 religions in the world, every one with its own set of sacred texts and sacred traditions.

The Christian tradition and Christian texts are just one of 4,200. They're all created by human beings, and they share little in common. So the answer to your question is that the traditions you ask about are just mythology.

Now, in all of these religions, there were genuinely spiritual people at the beginning. These people listened to the voice of God and taught people. But what they taught has been transformed into laws and doctrines. They discovered the truth within, and they described the truth they found. We must also, now, discover the truth within. Don't look to a religion to find God. Look within.

Read what Yeshua (Jesus) taught, but then find the answers within. He never wanted people to worship him as a God, or to abandon their ears that hear the voice of God for some book of laws. Look for God inside you. That's where God lives.

Love and peace, Craig
