Syncretism — Tolerating Lies?

Sometimes the truth is 'hard to swallow' so people settle for a convenient syncretism — a comforting blend of truth and lies. Jesus had spoken to his disciples and followers about 'drinking his blood and eating his body.' But what he said was difficult to understand, even offensive, and as a result many stopped following Jesus. They did not understand that the Passover symbols of bread and wine were given to represent Jesus' death, his body and blood. It was only through this sacrifice that he could give the gift of eternal life to all who trusted in him.

Jesus also spoke a hard truth to the Samaritans, who thought they were following God's will in their religious worship. But the reality was that they had a long history of syncretism, blending the truth of God with their traditions.
