I read recently, a paper from Pope Benedict XVl that our Lord would have not divided the truth as man continues to do. He embraced all people, religions and found a way, the way of love not theory to our Heavenly Father.
There is only one Father, Son, Holy Spirit, they are ONE the Holy Trinity, no division. This we can be sure of because Jesus has told us so. He is the voice of God made flesh.
It is a disgrace to call ourselves Christians if we cannot tolerate and love our neighbours efforts to draw closer to the truth. We are only true disciples when our hearts are made new. Understanding the heart of Jesus comes from being transformed by love of Jesus; Faith is not a theory an opinion about God and the world. It is the result of the love of God on each individual heart.
'In my Fathers house are many mansions: If it were not so I would have told you...'( John 14. v.2). I understand this to mean the heart of our Lord is all embracing and tolerant of individuals efforts. If it were not so He would have told us.
Therefore, in my simple mind & heart, I believe we should let go of prejudice to our neighbour and Love for loves sake alone launching into the unknown. Don't rely on seeing two sure steps ahead because the Lord provides only one and sometimes none, in order that we shall rest on His abilities alone. Be at peace with only the one step!
Less time should be spent dividing the truth into personal interpretation because this is the work of the devil who causes division, therefore confusion and from there little respect and love.
