Then you have that you are to follow His will in all things
That WILL is interpreted so differently in every church, faction, denomination and even by different clerics in the SAME church. When people are angry, they go for the OT, and when feeling more generous and loving, more to the NT. But, that is just a general guideline. The reverse is also true. Revelations is about as angry and sanctimonious as any section of the Bible. I've read it many times, trying to make sense of it. It sounds like the rantings of a madman, one St. John the Nutcase, IMO.
If all your principles are based upon a) causing minimal harm to any living creature and b) developing a respect for the connection between all things, then it is pretty hard to go too far astray, don't you think? Oh yeah, and it fits on a postage stamp, if you write small. |
