THE THIRD TESTAMENT part I

<p>After several years of biblical study I concluded that the truth the Word of God was essential and that no other religion is with that mode.<br />After a tentative beginning in 1987 it is a ready-for-the-world mature religion now.<br />The religion is mercifully short borrowing key components from the Old and New Testaments.<br />It presents what I consider the best of Jesus but I am fully aware that much more could have been included in the category of best. Short of breaking down all of Jesus’s sayings I opted for what I considered the most important for daily life. I’m sure some readers will find glaring omissions.<br />The Sermon on the Mount speaks of being blessed as most Bibles state. I prefer being happy or having happiness as substituted in The Jerusalem Bible.<br />When I speak of being happy what comes to mind are components that did not exist during the time Jesus lived: many genres of music and the wide availability of marijuana.<br />Jesus said to visit the sick and the imprisoned. I hope to make this life better by even allowing alcohol and several for those incarcerated.<br />I am an optimist (see Ecclesiastes 3:1–8).<br />Jesus never charged a penny for teaching. The God of Daniel is God the Father.<br />1) Jesus 2) Beatitudes 3) marijuana and 4) time and a season to every purpose under the heaven.</p>
