I have a hard time abiding by the theology of substitution atonement...
I really appreciated this entire paragraph. You seem to be engaged in an ongoing examination of the way Biblical scripture is formulated and interpreted. Given the immense sociopolitical and cultural influence that Biblical scripture has in the world today, this is an important endeavor.
My focus is slightly different. As we are all capable of entering Christ consciousness, there is no reason we can't write scripture of our own, at least for our own use and guidance. I suspect this would be considered heretical by some, but so be it. What's more important than scripture is Christ consciousness, of which scripture is just a shadow coming after the experience.
