Yes there are mistakes...wrong paths... but...
Our goal..our path...is to learn and grow...how can one do this if one is perfect...??
there is an old budhist story...that i will try to quote properly..
At a Buddhist school, the Master was approached by some of His students. They were concerned because one of the students was a thief and they wanted the Master to ask him to leave. The Master listened but said..and did nothing...
The following week the students presented the Master with a petition , were all but one student had signed, asking to have the thief banned from the school...
The Master gathered all the students..and said.
It is evident that all of you, except one...no longer need my teachings, as it is obvious you all know the difference between right and wrong ...but he..(pointing at the thief)..does not...he alone needs my teachings...the rest may leave .
Love...works not matter what others believe...
Any Christian without love in their hearts 100% of the time is no Master..but still a student...
