"Seminaries built theology on Greek metaphysics instead of Hebrew covenant, and the gospel slowly shifted from revelation to product." And from product to weapon. Instead of a cosmos to be lifted up to God, we see opinions to change, people to shame or force into into our mold. The Christ, the emanation of the Creator of the world came to heal and redeem the whole world, at a cosmic level, not just our private club. He, Christ, has been enormously successful. The Church, not so much.
That's an excellent study that would do any theologian proud!
No matter how excellent the study, if its presentation hits the intended audience like a ton of bricks or smells like a garbage dumpster, then you've failed before even starting. Glad to see you put together a nice presentation! The extra effort is well worth it and spiritually fragrant. It's well structured and nicely formatted, clear without being too heavy. A first class coverage of the subject that cuts through all the confusion of languages and centuries of changing cultures.
Coincidently, the way you approach the subject is reflective of and in alignment with the Qu'ran, The Law of One, A course in Miracles, and especially the Urantia Book and its detailed account of the life and teachings of Yeshua. This means that you're appealing to a much broader audience, and by doing so you are sowing seeds of unity instead of fertilizing the old toxic weeds of division that have plagued us forever.
If you're looking for a harder challenge might I suggest a study of the mortal soul.
And if you're ready to leap over Mount Everest in a single bound you can always gather up all your courage and do a study of the resurrection!
