I didn't say that Ra was anti-Bible, just that he wouldn't have wanted his words to be treated as scripture. He emphasized repeatedly that he was a messenger, and merely presenting his own perspective on higher-level issues, rather than speaking absolute truth. For example:
While it's of course not inevitable, in my view creating a "Holy Artifact" of sorts out of Ra's teachings greatly increases the chances of a reader making the exact mistake Ra warns against here. Ra wanted us making up our own minds, just with his words adding additional perspective to consider.
Quote:97.9: ...We wish not to form that which may be considered by any mind/body/spirit complex to be a complete and infallible series of images. There is a substantial point to be made in this regard. We have been, with the questioner’s aid, investigating the concept complexes of the great architecture of the archetypical mind. To more clearly grasp the nature, the process, and the purpose of archetypes, Ra provided a series of concept complexes. In no way whatsoever should we, as humble messengers of the One Infinite Creator, wish to place before the consideration of any mind/body/spirit complex which seeks its evolution the palest tint of the idea that these images are anything but a resource for working in the area of the development of the faith and the will.
