[split] The Symbol of the Bible

[Diana]

...Tenet suggested that Carla's challenging of Ra in the name of Christ and her devotion to the bible, were actually limitations imposed on Ra, which actually may have distorted the contact.

I can't imagine devotion to the bible NOT having a limitation or distortion lens of some kind. Consider how much extreme violence, for instance, is in those writings (such as: kill all the men and boys—of the opposite side of a battle—then rip open the bellies of the pregnant women and take the young girls for sexual purposes). For someone to come from such a loving place, and also be devoted to a hugely violent scripture at the same time, has to have some distortion.

There are unloving things even in the new testament.

I think that Ra's protocol of only answering questions in a very direct and non-embellishing way may have mitigated the distortion of the "instrument." As pure as Carla's intentions were, intention is not everything. If one is devoted to a scripture as full as the bible is of violence and despotic control, one must do some dancing around the bulk of it to even justify whatever good is in there.
