The fix for religion....RELATIONSHIP. You can't do what you do as unto the Lord without knowing Him and being in love with Him.
Sure we all can fulfill expectations and a list written for us - but all that means is that we are religious...fact is, we have th KNOW Him in order to make it in the end.
We can do, do, and do somemore, all in the name of Jesus, and be so proud of our works and heritage etc., but until we marry into Him, and until we have an intimate relationship through prayer, worship, and the Word - until we really submit as the bride - then He never knows us...this is where religion is deadly, dangerous, and manipulative.
Wow... from seeker to slapping down the saints in just a few short weeks... Nice job on becoming an overnight expert Newbie... And on mastering dismissive and unkind language.
Uhm, I believe you meant NotForSale, not Newbie. Right?
People here and everywhere else who claim they know what God is thinking, or what God expects of them, the end result will be negative. Every Faith on Planet Earth does this and eventually swords will be drawn to protect the "Idea" of unproven territory.
Paul was the perfect "WARNING" to everyone who becomes a fanatic in their Faith. He murdered, imprisoned, and cursed those whom he would soon become; all because he thought he was right, when he was dead wrong.
If a person is truly Born Again, one must see the fallacy and fault of their own Religion, accepting others they don't agree with. Paul was constantly trying to bring people together in a very divided climate of a million ideas that were attached to a previous Faith. This cost him his life.
If we don’t reveal the dark and uncertain side of our beliefs, the delusion of self indignation will smother us in the deceit of our jailed god. Truth comes with research, but be warned; you will discover the very core of how this World became a bondage of Religions, including the Religion of Apostolics.
While I respect the sentiments of your statement, I disagree with you.
In my opinion, the Numero Uno cause of hate, disunity and war is hate, disunity, and war.
No actually, I think the love of money is that number one cause of these things.

The reason for war is the sin of lust. The lust for power and wealth. All of the world's most beautiful religions have been exploited to feed this sin.
The vast majority of all truly spiritual people in all religions desire peace.
The Numbeur 1 cause of Hate, Disunity, and War in this world, is because people have not been taught to 'HATE EVIL.” Which is, they have NOT been taught, “the fear of the Lord,” which is to hate evil. Some Religions are even built on hate. That is their agenda for Power. And the desire for power over other people is EVIL.
I saw this on page three and was like WHOA, where was this lol, Peace
