The Paradise Kingdom is upon us!

I believe about 2,000 years ago someone was wondering Galilee and the surrounding areas teaching a message so radical it transformed the Roman empire in about 300 years. I believe this someone is who we call Jesus the Christ. By the way, this someone's name most definitely was not Jesus, per se.

Upon one of my first epiphanies regarding what I believe is true Christianity was that Jesus, considered by many to be God, gave a New Commandment in the Gospel According to John during what we would consider the 'Last Supper'. Interestingly enough Jesus gives a NEW commandment during His last meal with His Friends and the main take away is something which has been transformed into a tradition we know as communion. More interesting still is that Jesus gives this NEW commandment twice and one of the times he proclaims "By THIS (new commandment) the WORLD will know you are my disciples. The New Commandment being "Love each other the way that I (Jesus) love you... greater love have no one than this, that man should lay down His life for His Friends."
