Jesus said that to enter into his kingdom (which is teaching) we must come as a little child. This is a parallel teaching to the new wine and new cloth. Wine represents grace. The old grace through sacrifices was a promised grace, not an actualized grace. The blood of animals saved no one, but was a promise of the cross. Garments represent works. The new cloth is a new work based in Christ's law of love, not of works of the flesh and religious ritual.
The young child comes without per-conceived ideas. The old man cannot learn since he thinks he knows it already.
Do not try to fit old teaching with new. Pencil in the new teaching, and when you understand it in it's own context see if it glorifies God and Christ and is consistent with the message of grace through the cross.
We have a world view pushed on us by ... hmm, the world, which includes 2000 years of secular 'history'. The reason history tells us that the good guys always win is because the winners write the history making themselves the good guys. There is a slightly different version of history to be considered.
The facts are in front of us, but we have had a different narrative concerning them.
Before God created the universe, he had a plan. This plan is available to us through the meaning of Hebrew letters in the alphabet. He used words to create and he needed letters to form words.
He created Adam last because the things created before him set the stage for revelation. Light, representing holiness, was created before Adam. If Adam saw it's creation he might think God became holy instead of always being holy.
God did not lose control over his creation. He made a system where you reap what you sow; he gives you what you want (to be a god declaring good and evil for yourself); your sin creates pain, suffering and death; and since god's don't suffer, your suffering make you realize you are not a god, and you cry out to him for relief.
From beginning every stroke of every letter of every word and verse, chapter and book speaks of Christ. Many scholars and theologians mock the idea. But do you wish to learn to fix a car from a guy who says they are unfix-able, or from one who can show you how?
He hid his plan in riddles buried in the literal-historical record so that men would not believe and would not get saved. If they could get saved by teaching alone, the cross would not have been necessary. The purpose of the cross was not to save us. It was the culmination of the revelation of the invisible father. Without it we would not know him. We get saved in the process.
Jesus obtained his bride through the cross, and the marriage supper of the lamb was the explosion of doctrine right after the cross, revealing what had been hidden since the beginning.
When the Jews met God, the made a golden calf. When the Gentiles met God, they deified Mary and lost their first love. THe set up a priesthood and became the Nicolaitans (conquerors of the laity). They adopted the doctrine of Balaam by compromise with teh flesh and providing entertainment in the liturgy. And they became the Judaisers by adding the law to grace, through sacraments and "New Testament commands".
They denied access to the common man for 1200 years until the Gutenberg press made it available. Then they controlled the narrative through Loyala Jesuits using education and entertainment.
The Reformers did not have the Hebrew tools to change the teaching. People got saved all along because salvation is of the Lord. His word does not return void.
You need not accept this alternate history. As you learn to read the Bible for yourself, you will see the intentional distortions which hide the cross, and fuel uncertainty and disbelief in God's word. We will bypass 2000 years of tradition and go straight to the scriptures that Jesus read (and these are NOT the Hebrew texts used in seminaries).
