Tradition will not save you, nor will religion save you. Neither your church nor denomination will save you. Not one ritual will ever save you.Instead, this is what the Father desires: a heart full of love, eyes that do not condemn, a mouth that speaks what is true, and ears that listen humbly. For this is our law: that you become like Him and follow the example His Son set before you: love, compassion, justice, mercy, faithfulness, humility, and impartiality. In everything, practice these. Pray that your words be rebuked if you are speaking what is false.Tell me: what good is it to follow the law outwardly but inwardly be in rebellion against it? Surely, this has no value?Instead, become the kind of person who follows the law naturally. In this are fulfilled His words: "Make a tree good, and its fruit will be good." Become someone who loves unconditionally, who forgives without limit, someone who gives generously. In this, the law is perfected: that you love your neighbour as yourself.Know this: "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."The true security of salvation comes from knowing the Father through the Son. Though men call you a heretic, He loves you. Though they condemn you to hell, in that day, may the one who does His will be exalted.This is the Father's will: that you listen to His Son and let His teaching transform you.How can hate remain in love, or falsehood in truth? How can there be pride in humility or partiality in justice? How can there be condemnation in compassion or rebellion in faithfulness?In that day, you will stand naked before His Spirit, and all that is not of Him will burn away. Do not be like the foolish man who built his house on sand, but be like the wise man who built his house on the rock, so that in that day, your whole being won't collapse with a great crash.

>>545278825>let His teaching transform youthat is accomplished by the sacramental life in the Church and prayer
>>545279712It is accomplished by listening to His teaching and living by it. There is only one between man and God, and that is Christ.

Do not think that I have authority of my own. A prophet has authority only as far as they are speaking the truth. If I say, "I am a prophet," do not listen to me. But if I speak the truth, even if I never said, "I am a prophet," know that God has spoken to you.With your lips you honor the dead prophet, but seek to silence and put the living prophet to death. Why is this? If there were to rise another like John the Baptist, would you listen? If Jesus were to walk among you and not perform miracles, would you believe? Surely, you would call Him a heretic and condemn Him to hell, just as you people do to me, for this is what you love to do.
What does Jesus want us to do about the racial problems we are facing today?
>>545281024There is no reason to condemn a random rock to Hell. The only reason you will get condemned is because you have something worthy of it.>having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
>>545281213Why do you worry about such things? The command is: love your neighbour as yourself. This is what you are commanded to do. Let other people split themselves into tribes, and let the wicked litigate the wicked. You are accountable to God alone.
