I think with this kind of forward thinking the world would have no requirement for messiahs.

You would first need to embrace the idea that we are all human beings and equal in the eyes of the Creator and that all life is sacred.

Enjoyable video.

Rota, we have had a bit of disconnect. I suppose it is that I have a particular interest. It is Filleting the Gospels. I am glad that the kind of thinking I don't do is being handled by others.

I agree that we are all equal in God's eyes. What do you mean by all life being sacred, though. Can you elaborate.

Vizio,I'm surprised, you're supposed to be a man of your God and you don't know what it means by all life being sacred. In my culture and belief every living thing, whether it be plant or animal has a spirit and that spirit is sacred. When we take the life of an animal to feed ourselves, we first asked permission from the Creator to do so and then when we do take that life we think the spirit of that animal for sacrificing itself so that we may survive.This is something that we have done from the beginning of time.

Be happy...Don't worry....dont ever take anything personally and feel the least bit offended...
be an example of someone that is feeling God within ...thus, dropping anything, that others
would have to forgive someone for...(meaning know there is nothing TO forgive)...
practice the peace of one who knows God...meaning..no judgment of any kind...
being a true brother to everyone, loving them like they were your child.
Have an air of everything being 'perfect'...reflect that knowing.

It's like a ripple in a pond.
Hey, if nothing else YOU will be happy, right?
Ya can't go wrong with this formula.
(Try it for 2 solid weeks and you'll see!)

I believe he just wanted to hear your view...I personally do not doubt V thinks that all is sacred.
