According to the Holy Bible, in the 1st century, God came to Earth in the form of a mortal man (the Son) to not only fulfill a prophecy, but also to offer His own precious blood as a means to atone for our inevadable transgressions.
According to this covenant: our ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of, and FAITH in God's sacrifice, along with our effort to obey His laws and walk in His footsteps is a means to avoid eternal separation from the kingdom of God after death.
600 years later, a man comes along claiming to be a prophet of the same God who previously granted a path to forgiveness without adhering PERFECTLY to the ancient laws given by previous messengers. The man says God would NOT do such a thing, and also that the Son (Jesus) never even died.
This nullifies God's New Covenant completely, and reduces Jesus to nothing more than another messenger. Once again, strict adherence to ancient laws (and new ones) became the way to salvation.
Why would God reneg on such a wonderful promise?
