what is the most perfect way to live?
is it not more perfect that we give up all needless worldly things and seek more to live in a love that is beneficial to all?
gold and jewels seem to be in all religions usually in a place of worship, they are even of nature, but what good is of them?
is it not better to worship in more simple places, and be more concerned with helping others than decorating a building, even if it's out of respect to God, no gold or jewels serve God, the same as no sacrfice of animals is anything to Him, for what need as He of food or gold, these are of this world.
If we sacrfice of our worldly wealth, to help others, of a pure heart, then isn't this the sacrfice God seeks.
for what was animal sacrfice or of the first fruits - harvest, for was it not giving the best of their possesions, and not to be given to God as if He had need, but to be shared with others, for Abel gave the best of his lambs, and who would have benefited from this, for the animal would have been burnt, then what happened after it being offered to God, God did not eat it, but it would have been shared with his brother, probably even his family.
We all need food, and i can see the point of a feast in love, sharing with one another, family and neighbours, and that's all good if there are none in need, but if there are some in need in our neighbourhood, then should we not see to them first before feasting, or have the feast for them?
And as it talked of in the Bible in Acts:

And as it talked of in the Bible in Acts:
Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:32 And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;
Acts 4:33 and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

Acts 4:34
For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold
Acts 4:35
and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.
Wouldn't it be beautiful if we lived by this Spirit today?
Surely we should treat others with kindness, live out of love and compasssion.
I only really know of the Christian religion, and don't know a great lot.
But what is the true teaching of other religions on these things and more, to do with this love and Spirit, and do they match up to this taught of the Christian religion?
