Well, I didn't say it made them wrong but untenable. What Judaism was trying to escape was the complex Eastern mysticism from which it rose, I guess. That mysticism, I understand, made Heaven about impossible to attain, as it does in Hinduism today. Yes?
But so Judaism was splintering into sects and cults, as I said, and apparently slipping back into the very thing it was trying to escape, owing to whatever it was about mysticism they found binding or impeding.
The problem was solved by Jesus, and it's no coincidence, I understand, that the New Testament excludes writings of Eastern mystic content. It was a conscious choice to do that. There are none. Some of those writing are around, just not in the NT.
