YOU, NOT GOD, DECIDES HEAVEN OR HELL

James and John ask Jesus to sit on His left hand and His right hand in Heaven.

Jesus replies, "to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give... whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as ransom for many."

UNIVERSAL LOVE & SERVICE IS THE VALUE OF FLESH. THERE IS NO OTHER.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

  • Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
  • Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.
  • I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.
  • Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
  • Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
  • Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.
  • A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
  • Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
  • Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.
  • He who knows best knows how little he knows.
  • I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
  • He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
  • I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greek and Roman leave to us.
  • I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
  • Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
  • Every generation needs a new revolution.
  • Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
  • All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
  • Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.
  • Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
  • Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.

All sin is addiction: Cathloholics, Alcoholics, Houseoholics, Sexoholics, Afloholics...

All sin is the elevation of their "-oholism" above God - Universal Love.

"To Saints, EVERYONE is child and lover." Dorothy Day

"What mother ever considers the ugliness of cleaning up after her sick child or baby or husband? The the Saints everyone is child and lover."

Gandhi: "Nonviolence... the law of self sacrifice...."

"I have therefore ventured to place before India the ancient law of self-sacrifice. For satyagraha and its off-shoots, non-co-operation and civil resistance, are nothing but new names for the law of suffering. The rishis, who discovered the law of non-violence in the midst of violence, were greater geniuses than Newton. They were themselves greater warriors than Wellington. Having themselves known the use of arms, they realized their uselessness and taught a weary world that its salvation lay not through violence but through nonviolence."

Therefore, that which is NOT SELF SACRIFICE, SUFFERING, IS MURDERING time- Start Loving.

DOOMED FROM THE START: "Peace and Justice" HAS NEVER SAVED "Flesh and Blood"

"Peace and Justice" WILL NEVER SAVE "Flesh and Blood"

DO "THIS" IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME. "THIS" IS....

THIS IS MY BODY, EAT OF IT.

THIS IS MY BLOOD, DRINK OF IT.

"... the fulfillment of the Father's will depends on each man's effort and striving to make people see that life is given, not for oneself personally, but for the fulfillment of the Father's will, which alone saves from death and gives life." from Jesus, "Gospel in Brief," Leo Tolstoy
