Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 2 in the second chapter of the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 70).

"When I began this ministry I was unsure of how to go about this and felt totally inadequate, mainly because I was thinking of myself as a limited human being, and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else.  But the message of oneness came through anyway by the grace of God's power within each one of you.  Somehow you were ready for this message and understood it despite my ramblings and incomplete explanations."

Commentary:  Even if one is a great speaker and communicator, the message will not get through if it doesn't already resonate within the listeners.  Conversely, even if one is a poor speaker and communicator, the message will get through if it resonates within the listeners.  This message of the oneness of all life will not resonate with everyone, but it will resonate with many people who already recognize these truths within themselves.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 14, paragraph 1 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page61).

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don't see everything just the way you do. We all have different perspectives, and no one has the full truth. We can learn from each other. Don't jump all over anyone who really seems to have a contrary opinion. Remember, we all have our past histories to deal with. Treat people gently.

Commmentary: Even the greatest saints and sages don't claim to have the full truth. A person with a lot of knowledge has to guard against feeling superior, but actually the more you know, the humbler you become, that's the ideal anyway. It's good to remember that God is expressing through everyone, so give them a chance to let God shine through.
