"'Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed, but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.'" Matthew 9:17 (NRSV)
The new revelations from God that will lead us into the Age of Aquarius do not cancel the old covenant that was established through Jesus of Nazareth.
Nor does it cancel the original covenant established with Jewish people.
In fact the new covenant includes all religions.
It respects established religions.
And it provides new light.
So do not think that Progressive Christianity will destroy the old religions.
It will not.
"'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.'" Matthew 13:52 (NRSV)
