Seven blunders of the world that lead to violence: wealth without
work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce
without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics
without principle. - Gandhi
COMMENT: YHWH tells us He would have mercy not sacrifice (Hosea 6:6, Matthew
9:13 - also see 1 Samuel 15:22); and, Jesus tells us we will suffer for
following Him (Matthew 13:13, Luke 21:17, etc). Since Gandhi did not, to my
knowledge, “make sacrifices” (i.e. burnt offerings) but suffered for his
beliefs I think suffering is what he intended with “worship without sacrifice”.
Is this a case of doing the right things for the wrong reasons? That I leave to
YHWH and Gandhi
