I think most will agree, it is, at the least, a great start to the understanding of the Way. I have no doubt, that Jesus would want you to understand these ways....

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
