MOW taken to task on religion!

I just received this. This person obviously didn't watch the video for an explanation. What do you all think?


When I read this off your site
'Pastor Adams has stated on more than one occasion that, "Religion is the absolute worst thing that could happen' I was shocked. That is the wrong thing to say. The Bible speaks about religion, called Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father. How can you teach contrary to the Bible?

Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Jas 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, this person has TWO scriptures to back them up!!! What are you going to do about that...

As my pastor says frequently, it isn't religion, it is relationship! I am with you on this one!

Re: MOW taken to task on religion!

I think we live in an age where we are jaded and saying "Religion is bad" is going to get you more friends than enemies.

at the heart of the matter, what matters is what James was really talking about. You gotta have the goods. Talking a good game dont mean nuthen....


from all indications, you aparantly practice what James called for.

Re: MOW taken to task on religion!

Well you can't please all the people all the time. But maybe you should just pray about it.
