Jesus upgrades the Old Testament teachings

In most all cases when asked as to their specific objections to
religion, critics and non-believers cite false, obsolete and
superseded teachings found in the Holy Scriptures of all the
religions. They fail to realize that all instruction, specially divine
instruction, is progressive -- beginning from the simple basic and
graduating to the more complex and advanced.

So did Jesus refute most all of the objectionable Old Testament
teachings. Just to mention a few to give everyone a clearer idea, but
there are many:

If the old testament is obsolete, then why does anyone believe in
Genesis?

Most are obsolete as shown. However, those not specifically corrected
by Jesus still hold true. One of them is the Parable of Adam and Eve
and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

This parable explains the true meaning and purpose of life on earth.

From: http://innerquest1.blogspot.com/2006/10/spirit-self-and-hidden-meaning-behind.html

The Spirit self and the hidden meaning behind the Tree of Good and
Evil

A tree does not come fully grown. Its seed is planted in the soil and
in the fullness of time, it grows to become a mighty adult tree, very
much like the tree that produced the seed in the first place. So were
we created perfect seeds.

God, being Spirit, created us spirits, in His image and likeness.
However, we were, in the beginning, innocent and ignorant, but endowed
with every potentiality to attain to perfection through our own
efforts. And we are destined to attain perfection, in the end, after
we undergo life after life after life (reincarnation), learning from
our own personal experiences. Jesus knowing this affirmed, "You must
be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect."

We were taught early on, even in the Bible, that we are body and soul
but we are not. Spirit is distinct and separate from any body. The
body is only a tool, a machine, a robot, a protective covering or
armor, a vehicle that we use in this world to avail of its special
lessons. We are not our physical body made from earth. The body dies.
We do not. The flesh body is just something expendable and disposable
that we put on everytime we are born and we take off when we
transition to the Real World after a hard day's study.

Humanity is just one stage in early spirit evolution. To spirits,
progression is infinite. And once we learn the lessons of the physical
worlds (earth is just one of them), then we can pursue further
development in the Higher Worlds. "In the Kingdom of God, there are
many mansions."

We can read all these between the lines in Genesis. Do you really
believe that God wants us to remain innocent and ignorant forever,
never to grow up and become mature and responsible adult spirits? Is
this what you really think?

Why then would He plant that Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
right smack where Adam and Eve would find it and eat its fruit? What?
Do you think that God was born yesterday? And who do you think sent
the serpent? The knowledge is made available to everyone, but at a
price. We will need to leave Paradise (the Spirit World), be born and
study on earth or on a similar physical plane, experience pain and
suffering in pursuit of our lessons and die there (here). But at the
end of our schooling, it is our destiny to become perfect like the
Father, attaining to His perfect knowledge and holy nature, as is His
true desire, in the first place. Only after we graduate from the
lessons of earth can we become true heirs to His kingdom, and inherit
all the riches and glory He meant for us to enjoy for the rest of our
eternal lives.

This is the Biblical parable that describes our real nature and
clarifies the true meaning and purpose of life here on earth. This is
who we really are and why we are here. Once we can come to realize
this Truth, then even the mysteries will unravel. We can begin to
understand.
