Man and his religion.

English Standard Version : James 1:26.
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

In man made religions, you have to do this and do that. Christ has done all the work for you. In other words , and we’re just participants in the story. While this objection segues nicely to the gospel, not all objections do.

What is the origin of man’s religion? Why does every culture in the world worship some divine being? Anthropologists and historians have studied this question, and presently there are three primary theories: the subjective theory, the evolutionary theory, and the theory of original monotheism.

All religions are man-made in that a religion is a set of practices and scriptures and people and locations. That is a fact, independent of whether any given religion is true or not.

For example, even thou the Bible is the word of God, it couldn't be more than approximation of transcendental reality, because even thou the Bible is true, the languages it was written in were created by humans and are extremely limited. Holy spirit time.

It's simple to prove this. Try explaining what a banana tastes like, to someone who has never eaten a banana. It's not possible because language is simply too limited.

If human language isn't even good enough to accurately describe the taste of a banana, how can it possibly be much use for explaining the transcendental or the nature of God?

Just as one cannot learn what a banana tastes like from words, only through experience, it is the same in the spiritual sphere. Transcendental reality, or God, cannot be revealed through human words - you either experience it or do not. The words can help open your mind to the experience.

So all religions are man-made, as tools to guide people on a journey from mundane reality into transcendental reality.

And even if you believe in Jesus, you can argue that had it not been for Paul, Christianity would have remained an obscure Jewish messianic sect; and Emperor Constantine I made sure that it would survive the Roman Empire.

There is a pattern here, don’t you think?

It is easy to see faults and shortcomings in the established churches . There are hypocrites in the church who do not practice the faith. However, the churches are growing in converts in spite of the exodus of the dissatisfied members. Most churches have the good intention to help others and they do a real good job at it.

We believe churches of all denominations are mainly man-made and perhaps with minimal divine approval considering some supernatural manifestations associated with the organized group; such as the new birth, gift of healing and etc. There are also abuses of the gifts of the “spirit” and the commercialization of the gospel which many of these churches proudly practice tithing and giving as an act of kindness or benevolent service to humanity.

Pastors, ministers, and clergymen receive their support and livelihood from tithes and offerings. Churches are bound to promote the idea of “giving to God” to support the pastoral ministry. We know that God does not need anything because He is a self-sufficient God. Our Father is a giver more than a receiver as extolled at the sermon on the mount.

Many churches are sophisticated enough to look like profit-making fast food business. They may offer and serve good food but for profit in mind and to gain new converts. Is it wrong to make churches as a venue for profit or crossroad for commercialization? Definitely yes. Once Jesus displayed His displeasure on those thieves who converted the house of God into a den of thieves, selling and buying commodities.

Hopefully, you are not a part of the machine, that manufactures finish product from an assembly line and considers you as a number for promotional purposes. Beware of a pastor, minister or clergyman who can preach well for they are a good salesperson, number one in the world of salesmanship.

There will be many church going people,secular christian's , unbelievers who will be heading in the same direction as Satan the devil.The reason for this is that when Jesus was here He taught the kingdom of God and the love of the father and love one another.
The churches are teaching the doctrine of men and religion. Jesus never taught any of this . This is all mankind , and man made .The sad part here is that many of you here believe what your churches teach even if it's not locate ,found ,seen , written in scripture ,but if your church says it.

It must be true , and how wrong many of you are that is why many of you are going in the same direction as the devil.

If what you think I am say/writing is false compare what your churches say compare it against the bible , and see who is correct the bible or your church? Remember your church cannot stand alone it needs the truth of the bible , and the bible does not need the church to stand.

The church has no and I mean no truth on it's own , but the bible has all the truth the church needs to stand alone , so you all can keep on doing or following your man made doctrines that have no place in the bible God's Holy Word , and see which direction it sends you. Like I said Jesus taught the Kingdom of God not man made doctrines of a man made church.

For those church goers who believe that going to church can save there souls even thou they're not a member or a part of that man made structure or there souls are sealed there or they have found Salvation with God or those who believe that being part of a religious organization opens Heavens door , and Peter will be there to open the door , and say to them come in .You are all in for a (BIG SHOCK!).

For if you do not have a intimate relationship with God the Father (CREATOR) , and walk in the light of His Son ( YESHUA) You can do all you can to get there (HEAVEN) , but it will profit you none unless , so you can keep on believing the lies that your man made church keep feeding you or believe what God's (HOLY WORD) says for you to do , and act,and live.

For we can allow yourselves to be lead by all of the false prophets , and also follow false prophecies that leads you nowhere quickly , but for sure leads you straight to your death the final judgement on that dreadful day for some,and a joyful day for others .OR you can allow the ( SPIRIT OF GOD) to lead you into all truth,so you can be with ( HIM) for ever.
