Ther Ancient Prophets Are Today's Scientists and Moralists

Today, the increasing knowledge of scientists and moralists is leading to new challenges of teachings in every scripture. These challenges are normal as St. Paul teaches in the Bible. I conclude that that the work of the ancient prophets was not different from the work of today's scientists and moralists. At I Thess. 5:209, Paul says ' Despise not prophesyings' and at the next verse , 5:21, Paul says, 'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.' These words also say that scriptures are not the words of God.

The imprisonment of Galileo and the burnings of Bruno and others at the stake as heretics by the Roman church was thus inconsistent with the natural development of sciences and morals by man. These burnings were murders. Further, since Jesus Christ was a prophet and thus a normal human being, his death on the Cross must also be viewed as murder. I wonder how many wars today are really murders caused by fundamental religions. Furthermore, the development of intellectual power over people by any leaders must always be seen as immoral acts.
