我上载这个寻根源视频的目地是希望各位所作的寻根活动不只单单成功修好一册包括几个上代祖宗的家谱而已。 希望他们能够追上有关上古的先祖， 他们怎样繁衍后代一直到现在的我们。他们是谁？ 他们来自何方？所以，请欣赏我认为一个确实的寻根源途径。

以下是我从网站抄录下来的一些学者有关寻根的看法：

“寻根是指世界各个民族追寻自己文化或民族的根源，寻根不是单单华人才有的活动。寻根活动和研究民族文化历史是有分别的，寻根可以只是通过民间传统习俗、节日和仪式来进行，寻根也可以是家族传统，等等。西方发达国家寻根的科技是通过科学研究，如人类学、考古学等的方式来进行的。

华人寻根是指华人家族对传统的重视和追寻探讨自己家族的祖先和来源，通常也意味着华人要饮水思源，不可以忘记祖宗，不可以忘记自己文化的历史起源和祖国。自从中国开放以来，已经有很多海外华人回祖国寻根 。由于许多中国人/华人有族谱和家谱，所以也可以通过这类材料来寻根。

华人对“根”的重视 - 华人传统一般都无法接受一个没有根的人，认为一个没有根的华人就不像一个华人。”

“以下是一些华人对自己文化根的看法：

〈玫瑰与教育〉一书中提到 “做一个有根的中国人，中华民族的整体素质才会提高，民族优秀文化也才能被继承、弘扬和发展。如此，在世界民族之林，中华民族才可以存在，才可以骄傲，才能避免成为人家文化、经济的奴隶。”

“和谐为主旋律——血缘性（宫玉海网站）
中华民族各氏族，为同一血缘关系，同祖共宗，无法分离，也是分离不起的民族，——分则贫、弱，合则富强。不仅如此，中国人认为“天下一家”、“四海皆兄弟”，都是羲和——挪亚的子孙，不能分开。如许多氏族的传说中，都有伏羲女娲兄妹成婚的故事，正如《圣经》中的亚当、夏娃兄妹成婚一样，为同一个故事。尽管情节不尽相同，但大体一致。如有的传说为葫芦中生兄妹，有的则为被上帝派到伊甸园，但都是兄妹，后来分开。他们的后人又被赶出伊甸园，流落到四面八方，散居到世界各个角落。既然如此，还分什么白、黄、黑等肤色，更不必要发生种族歧视与种族战争。”

In Short: It's important to choose your friends well.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For zone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
~Romans 6:1-12

Came away learning JESUS and "perfection" as defined in Matt5:43-48. We as born again believers are "a perfect 10" when we love like GOD, that is when we are benevolent, giving, invincibly good and unconditional in our love of saint and sinner alike, always looking to their highest good. We are most like our perfect JESUS when we forgive and love like HIM.
