Makes sense. This should only get more interesting as I go deeper...
Wait until you get to the people who claim Paul, or James, or even John arent canon because of their "different" doctrines. And wait until you get to the Song of Solomon.
I'm still more or less in the beginning. They're now narrating what Aaron should be wearing as a temple priest. I still can't believe God was this meticulous. And now that explains why all the priests in the Catholic church run around wearing pretty much gold plating hanging off their bodies. I guess someone didn't get the memo from Jesus.
I'm gonna piss a lot of Catholic poalers off, but the issue with the Catholic Church is it attempted to incorporate pagan practices into a Christian mindset. I will never say the rank and file Catholic isn't saved. Faith in Jesus and trust in his sacrifice is all that is said is needed for salvation. But the Catholic Church goes way further with a lot of practices that are not laid out, worship of non-God dieties (even if they won't admit it's worship, the rosary prayer to Mary says otherwise), and need for useless priests which are no longer required for our intercession. I do think the meditation prayers, focused interflection, and adherence to tradition are all great things but I also don't feel it's the best way to worship our Lord.
Actually, I don't think many mainstream denominations do, anymore. But most people are too daunted or stupid to read their Bible and learn for themselves. Worse still, you have people like the KJV crowd who think that a singular translation of the Bible is inspired, but it also stops a great many people from diving deep into the meat of the text because the language is too archaic
