I saw a whole different meaning for the passage in parenthesis below: In Catholicism I was told when very young. Love god, obey god. Then I was asked the question. If god told you to kill would you? And I said, No.
And my teacher said, but you said you would 'obey god'. And I said yes. But a true god, would never ask me to kill anyone, not even to test my faith in him. Only a deceiver, an evil force try to take me away from God's truth.
In the passage below, "the Lord is" - the Authorized Vedic literatures, the Upanishads, Puranas and Naradapancaratra.
Therefore, if 'the Lord' ignored it, he would not truly be a Lord, but a deceiver, a pretender, and should be viewed for what it is. The truth remains the same eternally, as does God's word. -bium
Bhagavad Gita and Srila Prabhupada commenting on Chapter 7 text 2. Srila Rupa Gosvami writes in his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu: "
"Devotional service to the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures like the Upanisads, Puranas and Narada-pancaratra is simply an unnecessary disturbance in
society".
