I have noticed a little something....interesting. Both chavos, and Lebell are not mainline christian. You two actually seem to grasp the true fundamental message that the books try to express, without taking each line as "gods word".
I commend you for the effort involved in placing a modern face of ancient text. The difficulty, it seems to me, is in the millions who follow the "christianity 2.0 version" and have no desire to try the new Beta. Because many consider individual interpretation of the bible to be a bad thing...they are locked into a cycle of stagnation, and would probably consider you both as "bad" christians. Unfortunately they do make up the vocal majority of christianity, and are thus the societal face projected to the masses.
