I know people will think I'm being judgmental here, but when I see a lot of Christianity today, I see the Pharisees and how brutal they were with keeping in the law. And I believe even Jesus said in Matthew 23:13: "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."
I have a blog written here on CF called "The Girl Who Wears Pants" and it's about a friend of a friend who had written about her first experience wearing pants because she was always taught in her church that women can't wear anything but dresses. And how when our church had a biker rally to preach the gospel, a group of bikers accidentally went to the wrong church and were kicked out because they weren't wearing a suit and tie. Or even the teenage girl who was asked not to come back to church unless she wears less "dark" clothing as she was a goth. That girl cried to me as she asked me why Jesus hates her so much because of how she dresses.
This is the state of Christianity today. Members are fighting over pews vs. chairs, they have a strict dress code and exclude members. My own mother once was turned away by a church because she didn't tithe.
The Christian church today goes about all these religious rituals and feasts, thinking they make us holy or bring us closer to God, but we turn people away. We aren't acting like ambassadors to Christ. We act like the Pharisees. And that's the idea behind Religion vs. Love. Because how we treat the least of these, is how we treat Jesus Himself. We totally forget the purpose of our faith and what the gospel preaches...that love is the greatest commandment.
