Jesus' Teachings about how to live

RGoT (4) Jesus said, “An old person who dares to see the wisdom in the eyes of a seven day old infant will know how to know Heaven, and be born again. Many who are first will be last by service to The One.”
RGoT (6) Jesus’ students asked him, “Should we fast? How do you want us to pray? Should we give money for the poor? What special food should we eat?”

     Jesus said, “Tell no lies, and do

everything with Love, because in this way all that was hidden will be obvious. Do not fast, you will sin; The One knows your bodies need nourishment. Prayer by formula will condemn you, talk to The One from your heart instead. Do not give to the poor indirectly, because this will harm your soul. Give of your heart and self directly.

     When you go to another land be respectful of their customs. Then if they accept you, eat what they offer you. This acknowledges their act of hospitality. Heal anyone with them who in need of healing. What you put in your mouth will not hurt your soul. But what you say can poison your soul if it is not true or said with malice.” 

RGoT (27) Jesus said, “If you do not practice moderation regarding the World, you will not find Heaven. Practice moderation in all things except Love. Do good on the Sabbath not the things of man. In this way you will see the glorious shining face of The One.”

RGoT (55) Jesus said, “Love begins at home but if it is chained there you can never follow in my path.  Loving all is the only way to be able to bear a cross. Love God first because all other love is hollow without it.”

RGoT (68) Jesus said, “Blessed are people who are hated and persecuted.  The people and places have hated and persecuted you will find no solace in The One.”

 

 

RGoT (42) Jesus said, “Stand outside the World, to see the Whole.”
 
RGoT (47) Jesus said, “It is impossible for a person to mount two steeds or stretch two bows at the same time.  It is impossible to serve two Bosses.  A person would respect one and treat the other with contempt. This does not mean that Reason and Spirit are two Masters. Those two should work as a team to reach The One.”

     No one who has a taste for old wine reaches for an unaged new wine. New wine is not put in old wineskins, because it would burst, because it holds life. Aged wine does not hold life, its sugar is expended, would spoil in a new wineskin because the skin is not cured by the fermentation.

     An old patch is not safely sewn onto a new garment, because it will be ripped, because the clothes shrink at different rates.”

RGoT (97) Jesus said, “The world is like the woman who carried a sack of grain that sprang a leak. It was a leak that she did not see.  When she got home all the grain had run out and the sack was empty. Guard against the Thief and the Liar. You never know when they will come to poke a hole in your faith, leaving you empty without understanding how it happened.”    

RGoT (53) Jesus’ student asked, “Should your students and followers be circumcised?”

     Jesus said, “No if it were good for a person to be circumcised, they would be conceived circumcised in their mother’s womb. The only true circumcision would be of your spirit.”
