Some of the parables of Jesus were sus too. This one is strange.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_o … s_or_minasA lot of stuff needs to get cut or retconned for the Third Testament. If I had to write it...keep the vengeful God of the Old Testament, remove all of the stuff Jesus said about hell and punishment, and then include an explanation of how God went vengeful to merciful. Maybe Jesus explained to him how hard humans have it and he decided to go much easier on us all. And in that case the only thing he really wants us to do is be kind to each other and visit a church every so often.
Also the new Bible will need to be much shorter. The Koran is 10% the size of the Bible. You could finish it in one sitting. That is the right idea. The Bible needs to be shorter than the Koran so that nobody has any excuse not to try to read it once. Nobody is memorized by thick books anymore. They just take up too much space. It wouldn't be crazy to offer an abridged and unabridged version. Maybe a Special Edition Collectors with deleted scenes.
Finally, the Last Testament™ needs to have a lot less metaphors and be much more straight forward. If most of the FT is just extended monologues by God explaining why he closed Hell, got less weird about sex and food, and only intervenes sometimes then that will be a real improvement over the system we have now.
