Replication of the Christ ( in one's Life ), is their choice . And it's a worthy endeavor...if one thinks they can ' measure up 'in the Grand Marathon that , being a true , authentic " Christian "( adherant of Jesus ) is ALL About . But truly , is it required to be 'Part' of Christianity ? to be rich , in : Character , Compassion , Morales , Balanced , Generous , held in esteem and Loved by people in this World ? Is it allowed / possible to be a Hindu , Muslim , Buddhist or " nothing " ( ' No preference ' ) denominationally , and still be Reverent in this Life , to all creatures ( great & small - smile ! ) as well as defending yourself in righteous Indignation / retribution which brings up : To be a perfect CHRISTIAN , is it necessary - a requirement (in so far as possible ) to be a : PACIFIST ? Ghandi , Rumi , Krishnamurti , Dag Hammarskold , Gunga Din , Ste.Jeanne d 'Arc ....if these persons aren't official " christians " - even though they've applied in their Lives many of the Attributes , Beatitudes that our Lord abjured the Crowds to make Part of themselves - and 'take up their crosses , ________________________will They and many others , Unheralded , make it to Paradise ? The other Side ? OR are They , no matter how Exemplar in this segment of the Journey be damned to The Inferno or , a LIMBO as the Sage Pharisees of Roman 'Catholicism would have you accept , as... Dogma ? Monk , I Know you don't have Answers - only opinions from your faithful perspective and exposure (so far) in life . I'm not in contention with what YOU believe . I AM in Contention , and it is my firm BELIEF that Cristianity , or ANY other "RELIGION " should not be force - fed to the so-called 'Unwashed ' evil Rich , or Anybody else , in - between . A person's BELIEFS are THEIRS . If they are moved by the Holy Spirit - in the Case of Christian Beliefs , to INQUIRE and Investigate for their Own purposes in edification of their private , intimate Selves ; that's ONE thing . But whether its DEMOCRACY or SHINTOISM ; " ISMS " ad nauseum , other TRIBES need to MIND THEIR BUSINESS and leave People ALONE to pursue whatever . And 'Walk', in Peace with their Creator , if they believe in The(ONE) Creator (as I do ). Amazing how DAJJAL and SATAN use the Ego's of well-meaning Humans to cause hardship , unhappiness , and Hate ; and make it appear official , and Beneficial . Thank God for the 2nd Amendment and , the Guidance of goodness , firm resolve , Dignity , respect of Others not like us and ( relative,unmedicated ) Happiness . Ask yourselves this , as an upright Thinking Human Being : WHO SAYS SO ? HOW DO I KNOW ? and , if it's good for YOU , go for it ! Be Careful not to IMPOSE on other People . A good start for an ascendant Journeyman is to be a SERVANT . In all Occupations ; on Duty , and off Duty . Put a leash on the "Human" . Be attentive & Loving , so far as you are able . Temples , Chapels and Mosques are nice , perhaps necessary ; but not Required . Just You , and The Light that must be Asked for .
