The message being " Love, Kindness, and compassion toward all living beings"

That's most likely because he thought universal mysticism/hermistic type beliefs. People forget that mordern Christianity is a make-shift religion created by constantine and the consoul of niccea. Hell, the Vatican itself was built over a temple of Mithra's and many of the sculptures are of Greeco-Roman Dieties.Here's Jupiter as Saint Peter
Well How can you say that Nellinator
Mat.5-7 Blessed are the "Merciful" for they will be shown mercy
Mat5-9 Blessed are the "peacemakers" for they will be called sons of God.
Mat5-21 You have heard that is was said to the people long ago, Do not murder and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.Mat.5-22 But I say "anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment"
Mat.23 (I'm paraphrasing) "Go and be reconciled to your brother"
Mat5-25 Settle matters quickly with your "Adversary"
Mat.5-38.. You have heard that it was said, an eye for an eye, and tooth for a tooth.
but I say "do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone wants to sue you for your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
Mat.5-43 You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy,
But I say "Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you.
Mat.5-46 If you love those who love you ,what reward will you get? do not even the Tax collectors do this? If you greet only your brother,how are you doing more? do not even the pagans do this.
This sounds like Love , Kindness , and compassion to me
You are very preceptive Alliance. I am not a Christian, I am a student of Theology . I do not believe in the Hebrew God Yahweh which is manifest in Christ. The subject was "is Homosexuality a sin" and i stated that according to Jesus It has no relevance to salvation. I got on this Site for the Star Wars Forum and didn't even know there would be conversations Like this. I must say it was a pleasant surprise.
