Mariam and Rabbi Jesus spoke about freedom.
The Master said, "Freedom without self-discipline is no freedom at all."
Those who do as they wish with no regard for the lives, rights and feelings of others are enslaved to the god of their self-will without mastery. They are as ships without a captain at the rudder, at the mercy of every storm and current.
Discipline your self-will and obey the commandments. Then the tears that are shed at love betrayed, finances stolen, bodies and livelihoods disfigured, souls disrespected and children fathered with no love or responsibility will cease.
Live with the knowledge that you yourselves are the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16): do not shower contempt on that temple.
