I feel we can safely accept

I feel we can safely accept the mission and purpose of Jesus and Paul without having to accept their 1st century worldview or the worldview of later Christians that developed the creeds and much of our theological history.

II Peter 1

16 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
