1. We'd be better off without Religion

Comment #35779 by Dr. Paul on April 28, 2007 at 8:46 pm

There is a vast difference between religion, and the words that were spoken by Christ, and his apostles.
Religion is the result of the Old Testament law, which produces works, but rejects salvation by grace through faith.( Ephesians 2:8-9 )
The law was given by God to mankind, not for the righteous, but for the lawless and disobedient,for the un-Godly and for sinners.( 1 Timothy 1:9 )
Therefore religion is un-profitable, as it directs mankind away from God, and not to God. Only Christ and his Holy Spirit, can draw men unto God. ( John 12:32 )
The Old Testament sect known as the Pharisees, was a religious group, which could be defined as follows: " A self-righteous or hypocritical person "
In conclusion, it was the pharisees along with their high priest ( religion ), that were responsible for the death of Christ, on the cross.
