Gospel of oneness

Hi everyone, namaste:

We are now starting on chapter 9, paragraph 1 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 85).

"I'm sure that some of you will say that I have no authority to write like this. Some of you may think that I am changing scripture or adding to them, but I'm perfectly free to do this--isn't it obvious? Some of you may think that I have been inspired by God, and some of you may think that I am doing the devil's work. "By their fruits shall ye know them." The fruit is in bringing more people into a realization of their oneness with God and all of life. People with this realization live godly and holy lives.  They are kind, loving, peaceful, creative, and harmonious people.  Such people are living proof of my authority to write like this."

Commentary:  Scripture is a very touchy issue with some people. They think that every word in scripture is God inspired and approved of by God. Just how some writings came to be thought of as scripture though is a very involved story.  The Gospel of Oneness teaches that God is communicating with all of us all of the time. Many people have written down very inspirational thoughts that are just as good as scripture. God is not limited by what is contained in scriptures. The communication lines with God are wide open and vast.
