    `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?'


    ie... how can someone false witness to represent a belief?

    In black and white, Matt 16:20

    Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ

    M*W: Good question. Since I doubt the human/godly existence of any "Jesus the Christ," I don't think this he literally said anything. However, as a fictional character in ancient literature, he has been quoted many times. I would ask what the purpose was for this Jesus character to say what he did. I believe the whole myth of Jesus is a metaphor for human observation of the solar system. I do realize, however, that most people don't have a clue about this concept. So IMO whatever Jesus was to have "said" doesn't really matter anyway, but if it helps its believers to be happy and live a decent life, then who am I to burst their little delusional bubble?
