We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

Understanding Jesus

It is the outcasts who really get the message of Jesus. It is the people pushed to the fringe, the rejected members of the establishment, who understand what Jesus means when he says, Come, follow me. They know what it means to suffer. Jesus makes it simple for us. In his command to love, he condenses all the written and unwritten rules of the covenant into two basic principles: love God and love your neighbor.
