RE: [RR] Compareitive religons merit- any value?

On this is for certain…. As we continue to be human we’ll continue to compare ourselves against one another in an attempt to justify our own actions, thoughts or beliefs.  That’s just human nature.   Where we can get carried away with it is when our comparisons end in condemnation for those unlike ourselves…. That is the area where we’d better tread lightly.   Obviously there are blatant sins mentioned in the word, but Jesus thought out of the box.  He had the gaul to actually want to minister to and save the lost…. Which totally got under the skin of the ‘Jewish high command’ …. Hmmm… sounds familiar, yes?   Let’s all remember to love one another, as that was the greatest commandment.  I suspect as we follow that commandment, we’ll have little time to worry about comparisons and doctrinal stewing.   Let us love one another, because love is of God, and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God.  He that loves not, loves not God, for God is love…. 1 John 4:7&8…   everyone sing now…  hehe.   Parson.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 4:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RR] Compareitive religons merit- any value?   In a message dated 6/18/2001 12:59:05 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I wasn't saying that you are teaching prosperity theology, just wondering if that is what you were arguing.
