Reinvent an ancient world?

Reinvent an ancient world?

A new/old first century way of living<

But would this not have to include, to be meaningful, a reinvention of the worldview of the time? We so not have that. The point about some of these sectarians or say Jehovah’s Witnesses is that they have reinvented the world view of that time as best they can, the result of which means they are cut off from culture in general for which the world is naturalistic and we have a technical view of solutions to problems. We no longer live in a world of supernatural interventions. Only mad satellite TV preachers will say that the devastation of New Orleans has anything to do with an external supernatural agency. We all know in our culture that it is the weather and low lying land near the sea. Jesus would have seen it as supernatural in a very activist way as the world was like that.
