God has never changed and will not change. He has loved you since before the world was created. Earth did not come together as a bunch of rocks in space, God created it. He created the sun and the moon and the stars, but He loved you before He did any of this! He sent Jesus to Earth, initially to Israel but they didn’t accept Him, in order to atone for everyone’s sins. Life came to show us how to live it but many wouldn’t follow His lead.
Has the “church” done many things wrong in the past? Yes! They were following the “wisdom” of a man or men, they were not following the teachings of Jesus. When you mix mud with water, it may look like chocolate milk but it does NOT taste like it. Mixing man’s wisdom or ideas with a little of the Word of God does not make it better. Using God’s Word to justify man’s actions doesn’t fix mankind’s problems. The only way to help mankind is to follow what God says in His Word without diluting it with our so-called “wisdom”.
