No need to get defensive. Like I said, maybe we're not getting your meaning. Though our knowledge may have increased, I still believe we need to have spiritual disciplines, following Christ's example of prayer and fasting. Our increase in knowledge has not made us less human and we therefore still need to follow such examples...not in a legalistic, prescriptive way (disciplines done for the sake of appearing spiritual), but in a way that is beneficial (disciplines done for the sake of seeking a deeper knowledge of Christ and as training to "run in such a way as to get the prize," as it says in 1 Cor. 9:24) Also, I never said that God had a problem, and I never said that we didn't. I'm not saying we don't need to make improvements at all in the way we currently are walking, but I am wondering what improvements need to be made on the ways taught to us by Christ and those who lived and walked with him. I am wondering this because you said "We can improve on what they did or do the same ole same ole which wasn't to bad back then." So, my question is HOW do we "improve on what they did"? What are you asking us to do, exactly? I personally think that we don't need to improve on the examples of old (the ways taught to us by Christ and those who followed him), but that the reason we need to improve is that we're not following their examples closely enough.
