Would Jesus have said this....?

most of this is what Christ taught, just in different wording. it is still the same attitude.

First; Do not harbor sinister desires - yes

Second: Diligently pursue the path....if the path was Jesus, then yes

Third; Cultivate a wid range of interests in the arts - if God leads you to do so

Fourth; Be knowledgeable in a variety of occupations - not necessarily

Fifth; Be discrete regarding one's commercial dealings. - yes

Sixth; Nurture the ability to perceive the truth in all matters. - definitely

Seventh; Percieve that which cannot be seen with the eye. - in a spiritual sense

Eighth; Do not be negligent, even in trifling matters. - yes

Ninth; Do not engage in usless activity. - yes

Yes Jesus would, so would the Dalai Lama, Pope Benedict and most Catholics.

I don't believe he would have. Although none of these things are harmfull or sinful, they are things that one would seek in vain. His whole purpose was to bring us into a relationship with the Father. Not a church, or a group, but GOD

Frankly, I already know the "WAY" and that is Yahweh's way.........
