By the way Ylem I actually rather like your "tenants"...idk where you got them from. I would put "0:Be loved by the God that Created you"
Thank you.
I have it that way with "the god that created you" so as to allow any one regardless of the god they belive in to follow the way of christ through these tenants. IMO to include being loved by god infers too much about the specific god.
as far as the tenats themselves, i kinda just summed up the first part of the first chapter of the didache.
"There are two ways, one of life and one of death, but a great difference between the two ways. The way of life, then, is this: First, you shall love God who made you[/B]; [B]second, love your neighbor as yourself, and do not do to another what you would not want done to you. And of these sayings the teaching is this: Bless those who curse you, and pray for your enemies, and fast for those who persecute you. For what reward is there for loving those who love you? Do not the Gentiles do the same? But love those who hate you, and you shall not have an enemy."
