Duplicated from series2: God's way of reaching out to the many
In 1981, the
emissary of Lord Bo Tien said, "Heaven however will not forsake the well being
of the significant numerical many... Divinity will always reach out somehow to
their hearts and souls and endeavour to change their ways." Lord Bo Tien's 1981 Anniversary Message
Thus there are many religions, and many
sects per religion, many schools per sect and many styles of leadership and
premises per school. This is the will of God or Divinity that all souls must be
saved by more than one way but the underlying inner truth is the same inner
peace leading to harmony of souls with the holy spirit of God, Pure Ones,
Buddhas and Saints.
Thus even in a temple of the lord saint Lord Bo Tien, the few who know the doctrine though near to him may not be the ones to run a temple. But the many who know not the doctrine but still find interest in the temple albeit for the less noble motives may well end up running a temple.
This is a lord saint's way of reaching out to the many and not just to the few who know the doctrine. They are given the chance to make good but whether they can make good or may well end up like insects coming to a flower is the issue. They are given places in the sun by the grace of the lord and not by their goodness and value. Lord Bo Tien's 1984 Anniversary Message
At best, men can only be an unpolished diamond and thus far only one man has been referred by Lord Bo Tien as an unpolished diamond. Who is he? He must be an elder in the mission of the lord saint.

Many may be taken aback that in any
church or temple (such as that of Lord Bo Tien), the leaders may be loud mouth
or unbecoming in other ways such as loose morals and even socially tainted and
corrupt. Ordinary folks will find them distasteful and lose faith. They
would think that the saint or god of that temple doesn't exist and just the
concoction or mere figment of imagination of men. But perhaps this too may be
that temple saint's way of reaching out to the many, not just the goody-goody.
Often the popular priest, pastor or monk is no goody-goody.
In the first place, perhaps goody-goody
men are rare and even non-existent. Thus even any anchor pioneer may have his
dark side. After all, who does not have dark side? Only "pharisees" think they
are angels and above all others, as they deem themselves as having no dark side.
