Difference between a religious person and being led by the Holy Spirit.

Man, oh, man... I need to watch this periodically to keep the 'ole pride in check. This Brother nails it! See if you folks with the Holy Spirit agree...

p.s. I know the link appears pretty long, but it should work. This is typical when I use a video converter to turn a Facebook vid to a format everyone can view. Just tap on it, it won't hurt! *grin*

I watched the start of it, about 4 to 8 times he repeats 'a religious person' .... going on and on....
Not any different it seem from some, most or all that claim to have some holy spirit....
so not likely good to watch further, eh ?
He talked about being religious as in being cynical, condescending, snooty, prideful, judgemental, angry, concieted etc. And walking in the Spirit as in being loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, showing kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

I think he derailed a little bit. Those are the fruits of the Spirit. But a kind God? Somebody hasn't read their Bible thoroughly.

He will judge them with righteous judgement.
True - at His appointed time. Thankfully before then we are recipients of his kindness, without which none of us would be saved:

Luke 6:35 ESV

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil."

Yes, but let us make a difference between kinds, shall we?

God makes the rain fall on the good and the bad. That is here on earth, under the mercy of the Covering.

Jesus set a perfect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by by expressing the fruits of the Spirit through walking in sinless obedience to the Torah, so he is the most religious person who has ever lived.

Pure undefiled is one thing, as The Creator Says.

but As man does:
search.brave.com/search?q=%22God+hates+religion%22&source=desktop
many perspectives on religion that is of man. not of God.

I don't think God hates the Christian churches, as long as they are properly delivering the Word of God. :openmouth:

The Church cannot offer you salvation, but they can deliver the Word of God. Salvation belongs to YHWH alone.
