“But I will never tolerate the homosexual agenda, or other anti-Nature, anti-God and anti-moral absolute agendas here, and I may speak strongly against them.”

We disagree on homosexuality (though like this topic shows, we probably don’t always disagree on specific questions concerning it), but I’m sure we agree (or at least hope we agree) on abortion, adultery and a host of other moral issues. I have no desire to force you to change your stance on this or any other issue. I understand that you feel compelled to speak strongly against that which you disagree. That is your God-given right.

“And many would not call me a Christian, I study the Bible and the Hindu scriptures - the Vedas. I prefer to consider myself an aspiring servant of God.”

I must admit that I find the fact that you study Hinduism to be a little surprising*, but I respect your right to do so. I remember going through some years of religious exploration, but that was in my teens. For me, and I believe the world as a whole, Christianity is the answer.

*If you don’t mind me asking, did you grow up with that religion?

No, I converted many decades ago.

But I find truth is universally truth, whoever speaks it or writes it, and it never changes with the waves of time. And I agree with your points above.

The ultimate teaching of Jesus Christ is actually not different from the ultimate teachings of the Vedas - to love God with all of one’s being, and to respect and care for all living beings as much as one does for oneself. Anyway, I dont’ want to side track...
