But to offer works is a payment. Or a trade. So then I may be tempted to do works for payment or trade. My works shall come out of my faith in the Love of God.
As for my teachings;

1 Thessalonians 5:19-21. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good,

A computer is dormant without a mind to use it. A mind made it and without a mind you wouldn't know it was a computer, everything comes from mind.....

Creationally speaking.
But relationship wise? A relationship after all takes two, and I read the daily news, and I am observant. Jesus had quite a'lot to say about "the world".

This is not true. The believer is turned against the non-believer;

Matthew 10:34-36. Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’…
