Dear Victor,
The last sentence there's room for everybody who lives a good life is your
own interpretation. That is not part of the passage.
The reading is :
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you (King James version).
Dear All,
I take this opportunity to wish all the readers and participants of Goanet
forums a very happy Christmas and also convey my wishes to Bosco.
May the coming year 2008 bring lots of joy, prosperity and Happiness to all
of us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
With full regards;
Shashikant.
