Intolerance Among People Of Different Religions, Dogmas And Beliefs Causes Harm To Christ
Sadly, the barriers erected by religion can equal those
erected by colour, social standing and environment. Pedantry, Christian
or otherwise, is a dangerous weapon. In the measure that two people
inflict pain - physical or emotional - on each other out of either
prejudice or just lack of thought, so then, in that same measure is
the Christ suffering.
The New Testament may be the most spiritually potent book, but the few recorded words and acts of the Saviour (a most precious heritage and excellent compass by which to journey), are not even the source from which the great river of Christendom flows, but ripples upon the wider tide which wends its way to the ocean of abundant life. Having lived and worked for a part of my life in a large non-Christian meditation centre, and associating with other systems, I have encountered humble, compassionate, forgiving from non-Christians. Others have rights too. T. Bisson "And other sheep I have, who are not of this fold: Them also I must bring." "And the second is like unto it - Love thy neighbour as thyself" "In My Father's House there are many Mansions"
