________________ The Christian Religion 103 By saying that “The kingdom of God is yours” he adivsed the poor to get rid of their inferiority complex and by saying that “One can push the camel through the eye of a needle, possibly; but it is impossible for the rich to get an entry into the heaven,” he expressed the right of the poor over the heaven. “Every one has equal right to livelihood.” “Trust in God, He wishes good of all.” “If mistake is committed, repent, confess it, sitting in the presence of God, in the church. Don't hate a sinner for committing a sin once only. All are equal, no one is either high or low.” “In the welfare of all, our welfare resides.” There are two classes : (1) Christian and (2) Jew. For the both, there are holy Testaments. The Jews believe in the Old Testament of Musa and they attach many miracles ‘or myths' to it. Jesus dislikes or neglects such physical miracles. The Ten Commandments of Musa's Old Testament are as follows:(1) Respect your parents. (2) Do not kill any living being. (3) Thou shall not steal. (4) Don't adulterate or indulge in illicit copulation. (5) Don't give witness wrongly. (6) Don't crave for labourers or servants for your own field. (7) In work give one day as a holiday in a week; because the creator of the earth had also observed one day's holiday, while making the earth. (8) Don't make idols of God, the Creator of this world. (9) Trust in me only ! Believe only in that God, which I say.
