mother ́s womb a second time and be born?’ Jesus answered, ‘In truth
I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born
from water and spirit. Flesh can give birth only to flesh; it is spirit that
gives birth to spirit. You ought not to be astonished, then, when I tell
you that you must be born over again... No man has ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man
which is in heaven." (John 3: 3-7,13).
The second in Matthew (17,10-13):
“The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say
that Elijah must come first?” Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes
and will restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and
they did not recognise him, but have done to him everything they
wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their
hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them
about John the Baptist.”
So what position must we adopt with regard to the reading of the Bible
in particular and any supposed sacred text in general?
Look, all religions have their sacred books, which are usually attributed
to God or to messengers of God, as otherwise they would lose the
supposed sacred character that is attributed to them. But, in fact, they
are written by men like you, although yes, it is certain that some of
them could have been written by more spiritually evolved people or
by means of inspiration from superior spirits. In any case, the best way
not to be defrauded is to always analyse the content exhaustively,
and not to pay much attention to the supposed authority. You will
know the spiritual level of the author by the quality of the message.
Also bear in mind that the same writing may have had different
authors, even though it is attributed to the same one, since there is an
age-old tendency to adulterate and manipulate the original texts for
the benefit of those who raise themselves up as intermediaries for
divinity. For this reason, one paragraph may have been written by
somebody who is spiritually advanced and the following one by a
fraudster, so that next to a great truth can be a great lie, and you will
only be able to know this by analysing the quality of the content
exhaustively, rejecting “the chaff” and retaining “the wheat”.
Well there are many religions on Earth, many of them monotheistic,
which establish quite strict commandments, and according to their
authorities, are the will of God. What is your opinion of them?
All those doctrines or religions which are based on the imposition of
dogma by an authoritative criterion and which do not respect the
