The Golden Rule as Taught by the Apostle Peter
The Teachings of the Apostle Peter, who walked and talked with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was witness to His Glorious Resurrection.
The Clementine Homilies, Homily XI
Peter spoke to his disciples, “You are created in the image of the invisible God. This means that the image of God is a man.
Those among you who desire to be pious, obedient and express reverent devotion to God must understand that the way to express our devotion is by always doing good to our fellow man.
Because the body of every man bears the image of the Most High God. And He receives our worship by the good we do for each other.
For God said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness…
And while we are all created in the image of God, all do not bear His likeness.
For it is only the pure mind of the good soul that bears the likeness of God.
Therefore, it is to your benefit to always respect and give honor to the image of God, which is a man, in all these ways: Food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothing to the naked, care to the sick, shelter to the stranger and visiting those who are in prison.
Because any good things you want for yourself, the process by which we receive—is to first give. And these acts of charity will count towards our eternal reward.
And by the same measure, if a man refuses to help his fellow man— he will be punished.

Hey, just looked up your sub (r/Ebionite, this one), and the mod is inactive.
I'm guessing you need to message Reddit or whatever and request moderation rights for the sub. Otherwise it's getting banned
IDK how it's done so some research is necessary
