Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 3 in the first chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Sometimes we may suffer for our beliefs.  I mean all of us, so we need to console each other and lift each other up.  That will make it easier for us to keep our minds steady and our hearts joyful during the temporary persecutions.  Mostly our lives are good and we know we can make it through the hard times.  God is with us no matter what comes, no doubt about that."

Commentary: Persecution for different religious and political beliefs has been a part of human history for a long time. .If facing persecution, then in order to stay in oneness, the ideal is to keep one's mind on the joy of God and to find support with fellow believers.  Do not strike back and thus get caught up in a dualistic struggle.
