Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 14, paragraphs 3 and 4 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 61)

"Or say one person thinks that certain days should be set aside as holy or special, and another person thinks that every day is just as holy as any other day, well, it is a matter of opinion with good reasons for each position. Let people decide for themselves.

The important point is to keep holy days for extra communion with God. As for what you eat, thank God for all your foods, and, if you eat meat, thank the animals that died for you, and all the people who helped get the food to you, and be at peace with other people's choices. We answer to God. Our own God presence is our master throughout all of our experiences. We all have our own God connection, so let's not criticize other peoples dietary choices."

Commentary: We can be non-critical and still educate people with information. A free interchange of ideas, opinions, and information is good. It is important to stay open to new ideas. Fears of ridicule or reprisals shuts down open communication. The idea here is not try to force our opinions on others. Everyone has their own God-connection to go to.
