Page 657 … obtaining Salvation through Christ
“Because if [Jesus] was just a teacher of the way of Love and Peace and Compassion, then anyone could obtain that without him.”
BINGO, my Friend! That is exactly what Jesus himself was trying to teach us in the Gospels – that anyone & everyone, regardless of gender or race or religious belief or sexual inclination, can attain entrance into his Kingdom of Heaven (see Matthew 10:7 & Luke 17:20-21) – an experience of pure Bliss that can only be experienced by humbling ourselves enough (Matthew 18:3-4 + Matthew 7:1-2) to consciously & joyfully sacrifice our own yearnings (Matthew 4:17 + Matthew 16:24) in order to bring others enhanced Peace &/or Joy (John 13:165-17 + John 13:34-35 + John 15:11); something we can never do while judging those others to be “sinners” or “sinful”.
