No problem. You're welcome. I hope you make it all the way through the information. Many gloss over, ignore it, and move on.
I remember when I was in church when i was young, i was there for the stories, and would gloss over family trees when they went on about it in the bible and someone warned me that i should not skip over the names and family trees because that was some of the most important stuff in there. I remember scoffing at them but now that i'm older i really wished i payed more attention!
I ended up leaving the faith because the church and my mother who forced me to go did not reflect the teachings in the bible. I was at a point where I was better versed and more literate on the bible than my mother which made me realize, no one seemed to understand what the bible was really about. But the more i read the less I knew.
One of the links i posted earlier on this SubPoal is "the Red book by Jung" and he goes into the psychology of the the subconscious, he talks about the Times and the Depths. He also refers to the bible alot. Due to listening to his material, i feel like i finally understand some of what Jesus was really trying to explain.
He's describing who, what, when, where, and why. Same people, all applies today.
Churches make it all abstract and somewhere a reach to apply the lessons today. That's false. It's literally the same lessons of today and if they are not preaching and teaching that, they've failed and don't understand.
My churches did fluff pieces where someone from outside the church structured lessons resulting in somewhat garish and flamboyant lectures, having weird props and specific talking points pastors did not stray from. Now that I'm older I'm pretty sure Jews designed the material and christians kinda worshipped Jews.
