SOURCE: John Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies.
 
"You may read all the books in the British Museum (if you could live long enough) and remain an utterly "illiterate", uneducated person; but that if you read ten pages of a good book, letter by letter, - that is to say with real accuracy, - you are forevermore in some measure an educated person. The entire difference between education and non-education consists of accuracy...and what notable sermons have been preached by ILLITERATE CLERGYMEN on "He that believeth not shall be damned," though they would shrink with horror from translating Heb xi. 7, "The saving of his house, by which he damned the world," or John VIII 10-11,
 
"Woman, hath no man damned thee? She said "No, Lord". Jesus answered her, "Neither do I damn thee; GO, AND SIN NO MORE". 4951

This stuff always confuses me.. Is it just that particular woman or all women? Do they need a man not to be damned? What the hell does it mean to be damned? Is that bad?
Do I have to drink the grape kool-aid now? 4951

Many are mislead to think that just by "believing" in God and Jesus that they will be saved. But its not true. You must stop sinning to enter the Kingdom of God.
 
Your belief is nothing if your daily actions are evil, deceitful, selfish, and hurtful. 4951

If you do not love (action) then you do not know God because God is love.

Many individuals go to church, temples, Freemason Meetings on Tuesdays at the Old Humble Lodge (NYcoil)...and then proceed to work on Monday mornings doing evil deeds in the workplace, cheating on their spouses, etc.
 
But Jesus said that if you give up sinning and start doing good deeds...you will not be damned.
 
Its so simple. Stop sinning. Start doing good deeds. 4951

salvation is NOT BY WORKS - BUT BY FAITH......Eph 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved THROUGH FAITH; and that not of YOURSELVES, it is the GIFT OF GOD.  NOT BY WORKS, lest any man should boast.... 4951

Jesus preached these 5 commandments;
 
1. The old law said do not murder. But I tell you that if you hate, you are as bad as a murderer.
 
2. The old law said do not commit adultery and if your wife cheats on you, stone her. But this is not the truth. Be with one, do mot commit adultery. Or be alone, by yourself.
 
3. Do not tell lies or make declarations.
 
4. Love everyone. Do not limit that love just to your family. Love all people, all strangers, all of God's creatures and creations. If you do not love, then you do not know God because God is love.
 
5. Do not fight evil with evil. If someone does something evil to you, love them. The old law said an eye for an eye. But I tell you that if you fight evil with evil, you yourself will become evil.

If Jesus were alive today, he would tell you that your actions speaker louder than anything else. Its innate. We all know this within ourselves already but do nothing. 4951
