Ann; You raise interesting points, may I consider them one at a time? l)drop all religious labels-they only cause division among humans; This is very true to some extent. I do not like religious labels. However I do also believe in a personal relationship with G-d, therefore I wear the name of believer in Yeshua proudly. Do you really believe in a personal G-d which is separate from his creation? If so what do you call him/her. I call mine Father, and Yeshua. The label is important only to me. I love to remind myself that it is him I love and need to follow. 2)talk to children(the younger the better)--they are the most god-like creatures on earth) This is a very interesting discussion. Do you have children? I have four of them, and I agree that they are innocent in the eyes of G-d. Yeshua said, Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. However, while we should come to him with childlike trust, there is another side to this. I have never had to teach my children to lie, or to covet their sister's and brother's toys. I believe they are open to instruction and to G-d. But if a child is allowed to grow up without discipline, you have an unchecked will, not a woman of G-d. What do you think? 3) study world history--in your case the history of religion would be the most beneficial category although all history of the earth is an eye-opener. To me History is the study of man's rebellion against the Love of G-d which we both have spoken of. When man is allowed to be in charge, hatred, greed, perversion, selfishness, and many other sins rule, as well as many good qualities, which are gifts of G-d. Do you think that history demonstrates man's upholding of the Golden Rule, which we both agree he/she has in his soul. I feel it is very hit an miss that we follow it. We may when the situation is easy, but allow money, fear, ease to enter in, and many reject it. All of us fail in some small way daily to treat others as we would like to be treated. Do you agree. 4)have faith in your fellow humans(look for their good traits). This is prudent when they follow this inner morality, when they deny it or act in selfish ways, it is dangerous. 5)help others especially those less fortunate than yourself. This is half the answer Yeshua shared with us. I agree with all my heart. Amen. The other is to love G-d. You have spoken of G-d, why do you minimize the importance of this step? If we love G-d, we will be more inclined to follow him. Don't you think he will lead us in his ways, which will help us to follow this Golden Rule? As far as the history of religion, I reject all religions as dangerous. Relationship to G-d through his son Yeshua is the only thing I am interested in. If you would point out evil's done in his name, I say that if one does not Love G-d, or his fellow man, he is not following the G-d of the Bible. We are told to judge the fruit of a women's life, not her words. It is a pleasure to speak with you, thank you for the opportunity. What do you think of these ideas.? Yeshua Loves you and all women/and men, as we return his love, wonderful things happen. - DLL
