Islamic Prayers at the Vatican

"As to where the adore mentioned version comes from is the Bible the only true word of God!"

my feeling there Luke is that i am as indoctrinated as you are, and so yes, for me the Bible, warts and all, is the way. Wish i could read the originals, but i'm pretty sure the point there is that the Spirit cannot be hidden if one seeks--which, i think, inevitably leads one to the conclusion that the Spirit is in other monotheistic works as well. Different words, same Spirit. i have yet to read a Tao story that does not include a deeper spiritual lesson than many can seem to derive from the Bible, for whatever reason. Now, i don't use the Tao--and frankly, don't care where God is not, because i now seek for where He is, if that makes any sense. I could never point and say, "God is not there" now (even tho i still do...); i am charged with bringing God there. It is just a different approach. It is the approach of the parable i started, and you wanted me to finish, i'll look for that one now.
