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.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraph 5, chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 71)

"Your soul, not content to flit around the surface of life, dives into the depths of God and brings out the pearls of wisdom.  Who knows what you are thinking and planning except yourself?  It's the same with God--except that his thoughts and plans are what defines the universe.  God offers to share his blissful life with everyone at any time.  We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions about religion.  We don't necessarily have to read books or go to a school.  We can learn directly from God through our I Am Presence.  The word of God comes to us everyday as our highest and best thoughts and feelings of love, compassion, peace, helpfulness, sharing, improvement, and enthusiasm.  These words of God are not locked up in any book, including this one, but come to everyone, every day, every moment.  We are just passing on what we have realized, hoping to inspire some of you who need a jump start"

Commentary:  Anyone who dives deep into contemplation of his or her own connection with the God of all creation will find many inspirations about life.
