A true master is not the one with the most students , but the one who creates the most masters
A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but the one who creates the most leaders
A true king is not the one with the most subjects , but the one who leads the most to royalty
A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but the one who cause the most others to have knowledge
A true God is not the one with the most servants , but the one who serves the most , thereby making Gods of all others
for this is both the goal and the glory of God, that his subjects shall be no more , and that all shall know god not as the unobtainable but as the unavoidable
( and if anyone knows where it is from can you share please, I have had this so long , I am not sure where it came from )

Goodness. What trite nonsense.
If this is true..
"A true God is not the one with the most servants , but the one who serves the most , thereby making Gods of all others
for this is both the goal and the glory of God, that his subjects shall be no more , and that all shall know god not as the unobtainable but as the unavoidable"
It seems to me that all religions have failed.

I don't know but it is good up until A true God is not the one with the most servants, but the one who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others. There is only one God Christ Jesus.

Sounds like something a buddhist might say.
Id agree with all of that until the last bit where it says God who serves the most and makes gods of all others.
Thats completely against Islamic teaching.
Because we wouldnt need a God if God made everyone into Gods ^^
Note: Yes I know I thought too much into this hehe

In the whole of human history across the entire planet not one deity has volunteered Novocain. It is a telling omission. Yahweh is singularly disinterested in human suffering other than to inflict it.
If you cannot abide being alone it is because you re in poor company. Mediocrity is a vice of the doomed.

I agree to a point.
"A true God is not the one with the most servants , but the one who serves the most , thereby making Gods of all others"
The goal of god had nothing to do with 'making gods of others'. If it was, Adam and Eve would not have been forbidden to eat of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The very idea frightened him...genesis 3:5 ""For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." , and Genesis 3:22 "And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

This sounds as though it came from either Buddhism or Confucionism, in any case it is very thought provoking and inspirational.

I agree. We can see that in the accounts of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. And when he says, "those who are first shall be last, and those who are last shall be first."

It sounds like something one of the Chineese masters would have said, though it is not in the Tao te Ching.

God's Righteousness is the goal but unattainable Yet we still keep on keeping on. Striving toward the mark of the higher call, in Christ Jesus.
God is unavoidable--we will all stand before him
Thanks for the poem
