I would faithfully disagree with you my friend. The religions of today, and
I am not picking on either faith, have seriously lost their way in "teaching"
the word of God or the "following" Jesus and truly "living" the life that he
did so many years ago. Attending a church, "regularly", does not guarentee a
spot in heaven. I know many people, who attend church regularly, that are
very evil in their ways. But, since they attend church regularly, that must
mean that they will get that spot in heaven?
In Matthew 17-18 <NIV> Jesus replied "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I
tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the
gates of Hades will not overcome it."
Jesus was not referring to a "church" of brick and mortar, but His church,
which is faith.
Jesus only gave two commandments, which are To Love your God with all of
heart, mind, and soul. Also, to love thy neighbor as you would love
yourself.
Now, I can clearly understand why so many people are turning away from
"organized religions", especially during these times. Many churches are
leaning toward to what makes you "feel better" about yourself instead of
teaching Biblical scriptures. Many of the "organzied" super mega churches
are falling right into the enemy's hands, and I mean Lucifer's, by teaching
New Age in their churches.
So, one must ask themselves, do you place your faith in God, or in brick and
mortar?
Also, before passing judement on someone, who by all means is still a child
of God, maybe there should be a little self analysis of your life and how you
conduct yourself daily.
I didn't mean to offend you, but I find it hard to fathom that a TRUE
believer would be very judgmental on someone who was recently called home to
God.
