If I teach you from birth that blue is green and green is blue, then you will most likely believe it for a long time. If I can get others around you to confirm it, then you will never have the chance to doubt it. If I do this for generations, pretty soon, the truth is forgotten. Green is perceived to be blue by an entire culture. People will fight and go to war to support their ideas that just a few generations ago were not true.
This is why reading history is important. This is why reading church history is important as well. I don't think that Jesus needed his followers to add things to the gospel. And the gospel is pretty simple. How much would we shed if we released ourselves from all of the additions and just went back to the simple message, and allowed it to be enough?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
