History and Spirituality ~ Paganism was rarely as bad as advertised, and the church never as good as it thought.

Constant Reform

Jesus and the prophets felt that religion must always be being reformed.  Jesus’ very practical test of a healthy religion or poor religion is , “Does it bear good fruit or bad fruit?” (Matt. 7:15-24).

In the Bible true orthodoxy is never a matter entirely of the intellectual understanding of right ideas.  It is rather a thing of the heart that happens in right relationships, in right doing with God and man.  In healing and everything else Jesus never questioned peoples’ belief systems but rather their relationships.  So in the scales of judgment what you do and your relationships are more important than what what you claim to believe.
