So if God can sum religion up in one verse surely I should not need to write a ten page article?
I can baffle about this for a long time but I choose not to.
Lets get to it and answer this real fast.
What is religion?
Right now in the west religion is this.
Love Jesus, love others and love yourself, with a few exceptions here and there. It really comes down to how you feel and what you want do or consider worthy to do. For example you might not watch Blade three because it is unworthy to you but at the same time your fine to watch Walt Disney because that is harmless.
Well that reeks of ignorance.
You must use the three Ls, LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! and your in!
With this there is Sun day worship which involves 30 minutes of praise, 10 minutes of money giving, 20 minutes of Church news, another hour of ministry from usually the same man and do not forget to dress well.
If this man is wound up into much false doctrine along with the rest of the congregation then you have a cry and find another church that follows the same lines with more truth, hopefully.
To love others is pretty easy, forgive and forget.
Love would involve kind acts too but who are you doing these kind acts too. Family and Friends?
for if you love them which love you, what reward have ye?
Are you giving $20 to a homeless drunk in good faith they will not waste it on more alcohol? Or is this foolish? According to the counsel of man it us but what does God say about it?
Some religions will put you in bondage, Seventh Day Adventists drive Sabbath bondage and the exclusive brethren drive a separate yourself from the world bondage.
I think a lot of churches are in bondage to the ways of this world. It is obvious they let corruption seep in.
During the week the idea of love is upheld by the people who go to that church.
I think the truth is, we all dive into a week of money making.
Should we not dive into a week of money giving, self-sacrifice and prayer instead? Rev 18 is controversial but I think the great city of Babylon is the world.
Read the whole chapter and why is this being said at verse 4
come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins.
Who is this being said too? The Sons of God of course, thats the Saints.
So what does God say about religion? Is it Sunday worship with wafer biscuits and concentrated juice once a month?
Jms 1 27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Well that does not resemble Sunday worship one bit.
What about the Church? Well one day I am going to write an article on that and I am telling you now, it is not a brick building and certainly is not once a week gathering.
