You can sort of hear the Lord complaining sometimes, like, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say?” I might guess that at this point, it might behoove us to ask what exactly he said for us to do. Sure, there are moral proscriptions, some things he told us not to pursue, but when he summarized his entire teaching, he boiled it down to two things: love, and love. #1: Love God, and #2: Love one another. Like Einstein said, let us not get bogged down in this phenomenon, or that — let us know the mind of God. That would be love. Do I need to say it again? Cause if it takes you getting sick of hearing it to stick, I’m up for that. Love, love, love… love is all you need.
You know, every major religion has at the root the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But I am basically contractually bound to tell you that Christianity is the “correct” religion. Firstly, in Judaism, God says to Moses that His name is “I AM” — this is a brilliant conceit: no other god is named so, no other god is, this is saying. And beyond, the name Immanuel means, “God with us”, which is saying that Jesus Christ, who has this name, is literally God in the form of a man. That is what being the Son of God means. Further, from the behavior of the Son, since he shares the same nature as the Father, we may conclude that God is good, that God is love, from what the Son shows himself to be. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
