This is an endless continuing journey, to spread the good  ...&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WORD&lt;/span&gt;...  universally. Right now, we may not have all the Answers to all your Questions; ...however, your input at the "comments" window, will surely bring us closer to arriving with better Answers,  ...for now, dust off your righteously "unbiased" observation binoculars , ...and submit your very own suggestions,  right here at the "comments" window; ...it becomes a submission to the search for, the “Most/Must” read Bible verses …how about this submission ...FOR ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, EVEN IN THIS; THOU SHALT &lt;strong&gt;LOVE&lt;/strong&gt; THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF” (Gal. 5:14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guardianship Disclosure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;I promise to preserve and protect the Contents of this "Universal Bible", after “Reasoning” on the following rules of engagement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(1)&lt;/strong&gt; I am sure, I want to be entrusted with a full disclosure of "Universal Bible"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(2)&lt;/strong&gt; I am sure, I want to be entrusted with a full disclosure of "Universal Bible", to me alone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(3)&lt;/strong&gt; I am sure, I want to be entrusted with a full disclosure of "Universal Bible", to me alone, without consulting anyone else&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(4)&lt;/strong&gt; I am sure, I want to be entrusted with a full disclosure of "Universal Bible", to me alone, without consulting anyone else, such as a quorum of advisers or peers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(5)&lt;/strong&gt; I am sure, I want to be entrusted with a full disclosure of "Universal Bible", to me alone, without consulting anyone else, such as a quorum of advisers or peers, to seek consensus; until the next level of engagement, is pursued...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Globally Objective Debate #1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; …Here is a radical but cautious approach towards the "Harmonious Integration Mission (H.I.M.)" :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…and hath made of one blood all nations of men…Acts chapter 17, verse 26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Universal Bible  guide, might provide some comfort, during one’s inquisitive &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;religiously&lt;/span&gt; fulfilling journey. Agreeably, it is much easier to "steer &amp;amp; corral" a small 12 passenger "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;pleasure boat&lt;/span&gt;", but much more difficult  to "compass" a monstrous  two thousand passenger "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ocean liner&lt;/span&gt;". Similarly, It is extremely burdensome on Society to circumvent established, entrenched “&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;middle ground&lt;/span&gt;” social order (artificial social boundaries) especially when the voice of descent, is from "poor souls" crying out in the wilderness. Fellow adventurists disciples, beware; ...as a wise old saying goes ..."&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;don't put all your eggs in one basket&lt;/span&gt;". History has taught us that influence can be asserted from the "outside" (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jesus Christ, converts his holy band of rogues&lt;/span&gt;) ...as well as, very effectively from the "inside" (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mandela, Gandhi, Martin Luther&lt;/span&gt; etc).&lt;br /&gt;In addition, although the two scenarios appear to be mutually exclusive of each other; ...they do complement each other, as well as intersect with each other, at times, ...a mandate of this “Universal Bible” is to adapt both principles, by courting the compassion  of both the "Insiders" as well as the "Outsiders" ...It should not be that difficult to move forward in "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parallel&lt;/span&gt;" mode, ...a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Historical&lt;/span&gt; perspective, supporting the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Contemporary&lt;/span&gt; view.  Harmonious human interaction, simply requires an environment that   allows an individual to freely divulge and embrace their religious stratification of choice, rather than be saddled with  "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cloned expectations&lt;/span&gt;" based entirely on a society’s rigid dictates ..."To LISTEN" &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;should be the goal&lt;/span&gt;, not "To CONVERT"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be tolerant, ...to  individuals, who try to live in the image of God, ...&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;they, being "Born again"&lt;/span&gt;... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;{journeying "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;towards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;" Righteousness}&lt;/span&gt;, ...and... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;{"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;moving away"......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;corruption&lt;/span&gt;}; deserve some compassion (read Romans 6:18).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all fairness,  a  few individuals do harbor  revolutionary ...yet, more than likely &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;harmless&lt;/span&gt; thoughts;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;innocently&lt;/span&gt; offending others ...by speaking about  matters, that are quietly banned from every-day discussions …such as, where do "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;" fit in, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;comfortably&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;entitled, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;with a strong &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Foundation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  ...especially unique, in the decision making process; when those holding &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;minority&lt;/span&gt; opinions, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;without&lt;/span&gt; overriding "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Veto-Proof&lt;/span&gt;" power on decisions; ...are now teetering on the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;brink of defeat&lt;/span&gt;, although putting up a valiant effort...&lt;br /&gt;…not many will face this dilemma, but for the few who do, in this day and age,  ...they must still wrestle with such issues, against overwhelming odds  ...unimaginable  thoughts, surface in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is true ...some individuals unintentionally wind-up sacrificing family and friends, when they pursue, even very &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;unselfish&lt;/span&gt; "callings". The warning is: prepare yourself for the worse, but hope for the best...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...{1 Corinthians 13:11} &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things&lt;/span&gt; ...{1 Corinthians 13:11}...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...individuals "chosen" by the Almighty to spread the "WORD", at least should be allowed transition-in-progress allowances (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Journey towards righteousness&lt;/span&gt;), just like when a juvenile (teenagers) explores the labyrinth of inter-personal relationships; ...similar to the natural journey, from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;infancy &lt;/span&gt;into &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;adolescence&lt;/span&gt;. Again, those having  no where to turn to …will find this Universal Bible guide  a haven that provide some comfort, during one’s inquisitive religious journey. Surely, it is extremely burdensome on Society, to circumvent, established  entrenched “middle ground” &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;artificial social  boundaries&lt;/span&gt;, ...as it now appears to be less consequential, to simply ignore the voices of "a few", rather than to accommodate...&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, the few disciples  who volunteer  to disciple  in "harsh" environments; should be commended, rather than &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;persecuted&lt;/span&gt;, for their effort. "Non-Believers" dominate ...&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;on-the-fringes&lt;/span&gt; ...on the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;periphery&lt;/span&gt;, where   for good reasons many seasoned "Believers" choose not to go; ...into the very places  that harbor fresh  "harvest ready" recruits (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to evangelize&lt;/span&gt;) for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt;'s kingdom. Instead of  automatically attaching negative "Labels" to a humble  yet brave, inquisitive "Believer" ...please be tolerant of these  disciples,  ...they do need a lot of "elbow room" to fulfill this immense challenge, ...the role of the "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Righteous Missionary&lt;/span&gt;",  is an old tradition ...so, it is best left up to  individuals, to clearly define the roadmap they wish to  navigate, ...and be allowed to land in their own comfort zone, on a journey towards righteousness ...most times they seek after a goal that is humane, and in the long run will have a positive impact on humanity.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, One’s own religious alignment should be a personal choice, though at times, in conflict with a society's  more restrictive generic definitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as an individual does not unduly impose their will, on someone else’s rights and privileges, …dive in, ...as long as one adheres to the New Covenant &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Law&lt;/strong&gt; of the good &lt;strong&gt;Book &lt;/strong&gt;(New Covenant Law, of:   "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;love thy Neighbor&lt;/span&gt;" - Galations 5:14) ...not to be confused with the outdated, though forever relevant ..."&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mosaic Law&lt;/span&gt;"... of the Old Testament (Exodus 20).&lt;br /&gt;Your personal choices, within these parameters, ...should not be subject to reprisals by alienated parties, since you are on a journey towards righteousness …but  be prepared, to tangle with earthly gatekeepers, on all sides (vigilant nurturing). Depending on availability and flexibility of choices encountered, a strong leaning to a particular religiously induced alignment; ...is the conduit that facilitates one’s direction and assimilation into their anticipated comfort zone of righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;...Since the path of righteousness is the goal, it is only fair, that you be entitled to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;re-evaluate&lt;/span&gt;, outdated &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;era-driven&lt;/span&gt; logic, regarding:  Racial, Cultural &amp;amp; Religious  matters. Subjective observations, made by “Others”, ...who may recommend some other association as being a more appropriate alignment; should be treated as "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;information subject to validation&lt;/span&gt;", by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ELDERS&lt;/span&gt; having the authority to do so. On the other hand,   in your daily life, ..."Restrictive" religious boundaries, such as the "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ten Commandment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;of life&lt;/span&gt;"; although not humanly sustainable, does create opportunities to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;arrive at better personal choices&lt;/span&gt;, through "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reasoning&lt;/span&gt;" ...without unwarranted &lt;span&gt;external&lt;/span&gt; restrictive tethers. Be bold and innovative, however, always remember that  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;accountability&lt;/span&gt; requires that there must be a "balance" between FEARLESSNESS and INTELLIGENCE  {...2nd Timothy 1:7 "...For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and LOVE, and of a SOUND mind..."}&lt;br /&gt;One would assume, that with such encouraging Doctrine in our hands, common sense should prevail and a well balanced individual, who engages in solid "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reasoning&lt;/span&gt;" ...with a contemplating mind, should navigate towards the right path (the Journey) ...&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;always be true to yourself&lt;/span&gt;... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;never blindly accept and follow questionable practices&lt;/span&gt;, brought to the table; by friend or foe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion …for moral support, we embrace  worldwide organizations with excellent humanitarian track records,  such as the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;View and Participate in “Blog” postings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dissemination of information written herein, is encouraged, providing it is done for the upliftment of the human spirit.
