More From Thomas Jefferson

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.
Powerful Mean Hearing
Man depends on god for all things: god depends on man for one. without man's love god does not exist as god, only as creator, and love is the one thing no one, not even god himself, can command. it is a free gift or it is nothing. and it is most itself, most free, when it is offered in spite of suffering, of injustice, and of death . . . the justification of the injustice of the universe is not our blind acceptance of god's inexplicable will, nor our trust in god's love, his dark and incomprehensible love, for us, but our human love, notwithstanding anything, for him.
Acceptance Dark Love Is
A little saint best fits a little shrine, a little prop best fits a little vine, as my small cruse best fits my little wine.

Does the open wound in another's breast soften the pain of the gaping wound in our own? or does the blood which is welling from another man's side staunch that which is pouring from our own? does the general anguish of our fellow creatures lessen our own private and particular anguish? no, no, each suffers on his own account, each struggles with his own grief, each sheds his own tears.
Pain Grief Struggle
The man who knows god but does not know his own misery, becomes proud. the man who knows his own misery but does not know god, ends in despair...the knowledge of jesus christ constitutes the middle course because in him we find both god and our own misery. jesus christ is therefore a god whom we approach without pride, and before whom we humble ourselves without despair.
Jesus Humble Pride

The greatest gift a church can receive is to have a group of families who take their responsibilitie s with such christian seriousness that they are willing to completely alter their lifestyle to raise up disciples for jesus christ.

Jesus came to save us: let us not reject this marvelous gift!
Jesus Rejects Marvelous
My beliefs are that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then it becomes a lie. i don't think that jesus was teaching christianity, jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. what i tell people is don't be christian, be christ-like. don't be buddhist, be buddha-like.
Christian Jesus Buddhist
