[QUOTE="Winken, post: 69291599, member: 269600"] Religion is structural. It involves steps, policies, procedures, organization, rules --- in short, works --- leading to its acceptance and maintenance. Christianity is "none of the above." A Christian is one accepted by the Grace of God through Faith, not of works. There isn't even a hint of structure in that relationship. It is entirely Spiritual (capital S). Therefore......... systems (denominations, Catholicism, cults) which impose "something more" or "additional requirements" for, or to continue in them, have waltzed (sometimes marched) away from simple, child-like Faith. That which is spiritual (small s) has nothing to do with that which is Spiritual. [/QUOTE]
