Those who would rather "a man speak to them than YHVH", and who wanted "a man to rule over them rather than The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL"?<br /> <br />i believe the first step in realizing what 'religion' is, comes when one truly understands the testimony in James 1:27: "Pure religion and undefiled before GOD and Our Father is this, to visit the fatherless(have no relationship with Our Father) and widows(their bridegroom has not risen from among the dead) in their affliction, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world."<br /> <br />For understanding reveals that all other 'religion' is IMPURE AND DEFILED!<br /> <br />"Our Father and GOD", thankfully HE is Merciful!<br /> <br />So repentance and regeneration can be experienced by those who receive "a love of The Truth" for they will desire naught but to hear HIS Voice!<br /> <br />And they realize evermore that "Our Father", HE knows what is best for HIS children!<br /> <br />Father Help! and HE does.......<br /> <br />What of The Faithful?<br /> <br />Do not The Faithful seek "Our Father's" Help and desire to do HIS Will?<br /> <br />And does not "Our Father" yet commune with The Faithful?<br /> <br />And it is well to remember that NEW "Jerusalem which is above, is free, and IS !NOW! the mother of us all"! (Gal 4:26)<br /><br /> <br />So why would The Faithful create a system of religion?<br /> <br />Are not brothers and sisters family?<br /> <br />And do not The Faithful brothers and sisters have their portion in The Family of "Our Father and GOD"?<br /> <br />Most certainly!<br /> <br />For The Faithful are the children of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph 3:15)<br /> <br />The brethren of The Messiah, who are "sons of GOD", are in and of The Family of "Our Father and GOD", and so it is that we are but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", for we have realized that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"?<br /> <br />Why would "aliens and pilgrims" create a system of religion, or love this world and it's things?<br /> <br />Why would we love our own(self,ego,id,"I") life in and of this wicked, evil world, especially when it is promised that "whoever loves his life in this world will lose it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it unto Life Eternal"? (John12:25) <br /> <br />And so it is that we continue to sound The Call of "Our Father and GOD" as we exhort others to;<br /> <br />"Come Out of her(babel/confusion/babylon\world\religion), MY people!"<br /> <br />"Come Out" of that which is of this wicked, evil world and especially it's systems of religion!<br /><br />continued @ http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.htmlelderchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406noreply@blogger.com
