Philosophy (attributed to early Christian writtings, not found in the regious text)
Matthew said, "Lord, I want to see that place of life, [the place] where there is no wickedness, but rather, there is pure light!"
The Lord said, "Brother Matthew, you will not be able to see it as long as you are carrying flesh around."
Matthew said, "Lord, even if I will not be able to see it, let me know it!"
The Lord said, "Everyone who has known himself has seen it in everything given to him to do, [and give] and has come to [experience] it in his [own] goodness."
My particular favorite from the writing of Mary Magdalene
26) The Savior said There is no sin, but it is you who make sin when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery, which is called sin.
38) Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed you, and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it.
Since it is Christmas, thought some Jesus may be fitting, lol. The real Jesus, not the religious stuff...
