| Aug 8, 2012 at 14:03 | comment | added | Mike | @libertas - By the way you took my words a little too literally - in a court of law I would probably say 'a core' not 'the core', 'or approaching the core' - Of course Christ himself is 'the core' and all our happines depends on his glory in it, and our faith in him - but recognizing this is being 'poor in spirit'. Cheers. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | MetaGuru | @JonEricson Thanks for the welcome, I think that happiness is something that can come and go on this earth, joy of course is a fruit of the Spirit. But the core message of the gospel, that is, the ultimate cosmic purpose, is the marriage of Christ and the Church after the destruction of earth, happiness will be there for sure, but it's far from the main point. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 15:03 | comment | added | MetaGuru | I am not sure that the core message of the gospel is to bring happiness. | |
