Those Who Have The Disease Called Jesus

God Not Only Loves Me As I Am, But Also Knows Me As I Am. Because Of This I Don't Need To Apply Spiritual Cosmetics To Make Myself Presentable To Him. I Can Accept Ownership Of My Poverty And Powerlessness And Neediness.

Be Daring Enough To Be Different, Humble Enough To Make Mistakes, Wild Enough To Be Burnt In The Fire Of Love, Real Enough To Make Others See How Phony You Are.

The Ragamuffin Gospel Reveals That Jesus Forgives Sins, Including The Sins Of The Flesh; That He Is Comfortable With Sinners Who Remember How To Show Compassion; But That He Cannot And Will Not Have A Relationship With Pretenders In The Spirit.

A Ragamuffin Knows He's Only A Beggar At The Door Of God's Mercy.

False Gods - The Gods Of Human Understanding - Despise Sinners, But The Father Of Jesus Loves All, No Matter What They Do. But Of Course This Is Almost Too Incredible For Us To Accept.
