The Bible is a good tool......for weak people

Religion is the absence of experience. In the separation of apprenticeship and experience actually appears human arrogance. One must always remain rooted in the experience. The senses are closer to God than the thoughts or the rational consciousness. Without experience, every theory will resolve. Consequently, the end of the religions can be foreseen with the increasing spirituality of the people.

Religions take the own responsibility from the people. One has only to follow the laws and dogmas and the rest becomes unnecessary. To look in your own heart is not necessary any more. One can leave his own „skeletons in the closet“, where they are.
Purpose must be not to follow some dogmas or rules, but to live a spiritual life and to strive for own experiences, free from restrictions and “rules of the game”. If the experience of God is present, it needs no religion, there exists only perfect divine love and mercy. Everybody can discover for himself the personal way that leads him to the light.
Churches are human organisations, which ground persons who need an established structure. Religions want mediate only faith and hope and, nevertheless, the only important for the people would be to attain knowledge about their own potential. However, one can attain this knowledge only by himself, by independent thinking and practical experiences.
The church, whose structure bases on stiff principles, does not like the independent thinking. She would lose her power and to protect her, the means of spell and menace are used. She cannot really resign from her stiffness without disintegrating. Hence, her evolution is marked by extreme slowness. The church members should not call the dogmas and laws of the church into question. This gives power to the church, which she cannot renounce, except she would give up her existence. This is also the reason why in the year 553 the ecclesiastical council in Constantinople decided to explain the reincarnation as not existent. Any tip to it became erased from all ecclesiastical writings (also from the Bible). You have only one chance, so to speak, to reach God and the way there leads only via the church.
Who follows the church dogmas, nevertheless, serves the church. Only by emotion of the own mind the human can serve the creator. Independent thinking is necessary for it.
Besides the Catholics and Protestants have highly stylised Jesus Christ to the only son of God and cross out this very conscious to differ therefore from all other religious communities (Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, etc.) and to provide the impression “to be directly to God” and to be thereby the only true religious community.
Also the church and their servants cannot even take a mote of the karma of any human soul or grant mercy for offences against the cosmic laws. (confession and penance prayers) God can only grant mercy directly.
Interesting in this coherence it is that none of the God's messengers, as well Jesus Christ, were members of any religious community.
The mysticism has something revolutionary in itself. It breaks through the borders of customary orders. New ways are walked. This is unbearable for every institution, which is based on ethics and morality. Christ was such a revolutionary.

The knowledge of the Bible is for many people who look at the Bible as an ultimate truth and word of God, an obstacle on her way of the spiritual development. If a spiritual truth or a subject area is not mentioned in the Bible, they can accept such a point not as a truth. They do not hear on their heart and their mind is not open for new knowledge, truth or experiences. Their mind decides that a little bit right can be because it stands just not in the Bible.
Hence, for Bible fanatics loyal to the letter the Bible is very often an obstacle for inspirational impulses and therefore for their spiritual advancement.
