Essentially, this is a clash between a world - view which is grounded in an
ongoing gracious act
of creation, and a world - view which presumes a static
order of reality from which the individual has become estranged through ignorance, and to which he may return through recollection and self - knowledge.
Because
creation ostensibly ended with the biblical era, we who follow are not considered a part
of the
ongoing creative process, but are to function as the custodians
of religious dogma and ritual, oblivious
of Christ's words, «You have a fine way
of rejecting the commandments
of God, in
order to keep your tradition!»
