The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence -- Third Letter

Since Jesus' death and resurrection, the church has edited, misinterpreted and distorted Jesus’ original teachings on love and compassion. It is clear from the New Testament, that Jesus had only two commandments: 1) that we should love the Lord thy God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and all our mind; and 2) that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. And, yet, much of the Gospels have been interpreted to mean just the opposite. If Jesus truly thought that love should be the very ground of every human action,  His love would never call to exclude anyone from God's kingdom for any reason.The Mystical Jesus podcast aims to discuss Jesus' message of love and compassion via non-canonical sources.
