The Last Word

When I read some of the early Christian writers I notice how they say that the Jewish Law is done and now Jesus is the final word. The Jewish Law was OK for a time but that time has passed. The Law was incomplete or insufficient. Jesus is the new and final answer. Christians from time to time seem to find it OK to say these things about what the Jews call Sacred.

Along comes the Enlightenment, Scientific Materialism, Modernism and Post-Modernism. What do they say? Religions as taught have had their day. We have moved along. Religion no longer satisfies with all its law, worship and God in the sky. Christianity is not the final answer. Christians get very upset. Christians did not seem to mind when Jewish Law was put down. Maybe religion of any kind does not like to be told that it is not the "final answer?" Post-Modernism said it was the final answer. Now we seem to be moving beyond the final answer of Post-Modernism. Where will it all end? Maybe, instead of tossing out what we call the past, we can see each age building upon the wisdom of what has gone before it. There is more of a unity of all, rather than old parts being tossed into the dumpster and replaced by new parts that have nothing to do with the old. God is everywhere.
