You shall love your God with all your heart soul and mind. You shall also love your neighbor as yourself.Mark this is a given. God wants you to be at peace with all men. >>I can not see god being so insecure that he worries about what name you say when you pray.I can see him bestowing unconditional love on ALL people, regardless of race, creed, geographical background, sexual orientation, or even religious preference.<< (Gal 6:7 NIV) Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Why and on what do you base the fact that you think sin will be rewarded?

Hi, Mark! Thank you. This thread is a great little proving ground for new thoughts and old. And for improving one's communications skills - not the least of which is typing. :-) Indeed! Tolerance is a very tricky subject... as are, perhaps, all the subjects dealt with on this thread... no matter how many may testify otherwise. Can we really know the whole world? Perhaps all we may do is journey among the garden and see all that our short span of life allows us to see. Do the greatest writers and artists pull back a curtain to reveal life we may never have otherwise seen? Do they hold up a filter for us to see through, and in so doing let us see more than we would have otherwise seen? I like that... That is one of the things the people on the thread do. Many of us hold up (very strong) filters for others to look through. So we get to see life from many different perspectives. Sometime it is enjoyable to look through a filter. Sometimes it is horrible... and we can't imagine how anyone could continue looking through it. Ah... but I've winged off onto a tangent... hmmm... let's try this... anyone who happens to read this post, if you will, please write a post on what you think is the ultimate example of compassion expressed by an human that you personally know. I don't want anyone defaulting to Jesus or Buddha or Krishna... I'm hoping for "real life" examples, so to speak. No disrespect, eh? Y'all understand. Hmmm... I guess by rights I should start, but I'm going to beg off until I can recall a really good example. :-) Greg
