Question
Answer
He made a covenant with man, and man always breaks his covenant. But man has always tried to find some way to save hisself, try to make hisself. It comes from a strain: In the garden of Eden, when man realized he had sinned, he tried to make hisself a religion, a covering. The word religion means “covering.” And Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together, and made themself a religion. And since then it’s been a strain of man down through the age, trying to do something to save hisself.
