    Tips

    April 6, 2025

    John, the desert preacher who lived on locusts and wild honey, could neither read nor write. Why does he hold up a holy scripture? Certainly, he didn't want to discuss texts, but rather to move people to a different way of life. His call was: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." His disciple Jesus didn't want to discuss even a single iota of the ancient texts, but simply to turn people's hearts to brotherhood.

    It's a pity that both were recaptured by literalism. But that's what the priesthood thrives on.
