ORIGINAL: SirLordTrainer How do we actually know that the 'red' written words were in fact of Jesus himself. What concrete proof is there? Da Vinci code? Speaking for myself.... what religion I have is bound up in the concepts of love and kindness. These are what make up god himself, and we as well, if we let it. Wherever you find love and kindness, you've found god. Or, as the Dali Lhama said, "My only religion is kindness." I noted you quoted My words but your response doesnt reflect what I asked. I appreciate your view however as its one I share also, although I sometimes question it when I see too much suffering. Thanks for sharing No, you're right, I didn't really address the validity of the red letters truly being from Jesus, mainly because I just don't know. Those are the kind of questions that tore me up long ago, and I think that helped push me towards the simpler "god is love" type of faith, Trainer. Whether you're reading the Bible, the Qu'ran, or Henry Miller, when you come across love, kindness, courage, or truth, I feel comfortable in thinking "there lies god". If you're reading, or seeing, hate, deceit, viciousness, then I'm equally comfortable in saying "there's some man-made crap", at least when we're not being very godly. Good thread, Trainer, I plan on going back through it post to post. Be well.
