CHRISTIANITY
VS RELIGION
VS RELIGION
The "Word of Faith Movement" - Fleecing the flock of God. -- Click on this bar --
Christianity is a personal relationship
between a loving God and mankind.
It clearly states that man is wicked by
his very nature, and deserving of the
wrath and judgment of God. It further
reveals that God established one way
for this breach to be crossed, and that
is Jesus Christ who came to die in the
place of wicked and undeserving men,
to purchase them with his blood and
restore them to a right standing with
God. Religion cannot offer this!
Religion is man trying to gain God's
favor through his own merit, and it
invalidates what Christ did when He
died on Calvary. Religion has all the
outer appearance of righteousness,
form and ceremony that seems to be
holy and sacred and relics and acts
that deceive believers into a psuedo
assurance that they are doing enough
to please God. Religion robs men of
hope and salvation and binds them to
a life that never brings lasting peace!

IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT RELIGION
Before you attempt to decide if a world with or without religion can be better you need to define your term "religion."
Some people think that all people who subscribe to some spiritual belief system are religious and follow a "religion." This premise is totally false and shows a clear lack of education and understanding in recognizing what religion is all about. Let me expand on that.
Religion is a dead and rotten thing that depends on ritual, form and blind belief among other things. People who follow religion have generally allowed someone to tell them how and what to think. They either don't study the materials related to their religion or they don't understand what they are reading and are more than willing to be intellectually lazy about it.
Religious people find happiness in chants, rituals, rites, prayers in monotone, certain religious books and/or authors who support their particular belief system, lifeless religion that offers no genuine hope even though some offer insight
into what they believe lies beyond the grave, doing good deeds, paying
whatever tithes or offerings that they believe please their god, dressing a certain way when they attend their meetings, interaction with like-minded believers that is superficial and worldly, and more that is offensive to God and should
be to anyone who is seeking truth that satisfies the soul.
Religion reeks of self-righteous bigotry, cultic mindsets, herd mentality, and narrow-mindedness that excludes some or includes too many unbelievers. In some cases religion is deadly and believes that non-believers should be killed
or imprisoned or persecuted in any way they see fit. In other groups there is a very passive nature in believers and they would never do anything that might offend anyone in or outside their belief system because they believe that is the way to peace for everyone. The problem with them is that not all people religious or irreligious care what they think and have no problem mocking or torturing them physically because they are the people who fall for everything and stand for nothing.
Then, there is a breath of fresh air that has come into the world that despises religion because of what it does to others and how it throws a bad light on God and his desire to help all people know and love him. This breath of fresh air came into being in the form of a child in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea. This breath of fresh air has since been mocked by men in all arenas of life because of those who
preceded him and many who still live today and misrepresent God by their religious lives that offend God and everyone who knows him and loves him.
The difference that seems to be so hard for unbelievers to accept is simple, and for those who believe themselves to be the intellectual elite it is impossible apart from a humbling that wakes them up to the reality that they are far less than they believe themselves to be.
That place of humbling comes at the foot of the cross on Calvary where God came to earth and revealed his purpose for his creation through Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection.
Religion was eclipsed by something that goes far beyond mere intellect
or deeds or ritual or the religious things men depend on to get them by in life. Religion was replaced by relationship. Now all men are able to have a very loving and personal relationship with God and religion can only take a back seat and look on with wonder and awe!
A world without religion would be a better world indeed. A world without a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is a very sad world indeed. It is a world devoid of any real hope and leaves all of us with no future that is worthy of living for or looking forward to.
I would that all men were in my place to see what I have seen and experience the love of God that I have been privileged to have since knowing Christ as my Savior! In a world where Christ reigns there is hope and peace that people strive for in many ways and never find. I pray that you will find out for yourself before you are ushered out into eternity without it. It would be the greatest tragedy anyone can ever have to face.
