I am a kind, decent, absurdly kind and loving man. I put other's needs before mine whenever and however possible the Other fellow first always.

However, some folks say have I accepted Jesus as my saviour. No. I have not and will not. I don't need Jesus.

HOW WILL I BE SAVED.
SAVING from what?
There is nothing from which to be saved.

Am I perfect? No. No one is. But there is nothing to be saved from. I am a manifestation of God. The universe is a manifestation of the Divine. IT's ALL GOD.

And that is lovely. Humans can get tied up with selfishness and greed. Those folks will learn in time. Not my concern.

There is nothing you can hold for very long. Ha.

I LIVE as Jesus taught as best I can. There are many teachers. You are a teacher. Jesus was the big time. THUS I have studied his life as best one can and continue to do so.
