We went wrong by establishi...Where did we go wrong? We went wrong by establishing an evil and divisive monstrosity on earth called "Religion."<br /><br />From a Scriptural viewpoint, it is something that God did not authorize men to do. It was men who created and established this "thing" called "Religion."<br /><br />Another way in which we went wrong is that we have huddled around ourselves men as teachers and directors of our lives. Many who cleverly claim that they were called by God and speak in his name. That is the fault of the "individual" for allowing this kind of control and enslavement over them.<br /><br />Many who claim to follow Christ and his teachings, do not fully understand what he meant by his followers "holding to his teachings" and "becoming his disciples" and "then" they would know the truth and the truth would set them free.<br /><br />What has happened is that many individuals have allowed the church-system and organized religion to enslave and control them. Stifling their free expression of love towards all persons; even enemies.<br /><br />While many think they are "saved" and "free" because they belong to a church or a religious organization, the fact of the matter is that they are "disciples" or members of "religion" not disciples of Christ.<br /><br />While they think they are free and enlightened, they are in the dark dungeons of bondage. They sit in a very dark place.<br /><br />It is "religion", not God and Christ, who is their true master and controller over them.<br /><br />The most misled and darkened of all of the religions is the one men have named for themselves: "Christianity"<br /><br />Christianity and the teachings of Christ are polar opposites and contend with one another.<br /><br />e-prophetic.come-Prophetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182399268471873848noreply@blogger.com
