Jesus Versus Religion
Paul RosenbergReligious people get an unfairly bad rap these days, so I want to start by defending them. My purpose here is not to slam religious people, but to show that religion doesn't adequately represent Jesus.

One of the most important points about what Jesus said has slipped by loads of Bible scholars, and almost everyone else. Knowing this point places the whole topic about the things that Jesus said into a different light. It changes the whole thinking about Christianity. What is this point? This point is that the Old Testament doesn't really end until the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Almost 100% of the things that Jesus said, he said before His death and resurrection - in Old Testament times. The few things He said after His resurrection are only understandable through the Holy Spirit. After the Resurrection is the real beginning of the New Testament. Old Testament people lived under the law. New Testament people live with the Holy Spirit.
