Religion is a human invention...

...Truth, that is the thing. Truth is The All.

Man, in his fallen state, gropes for the Truth... but cannot point to it.

The Holy Spirit hungers for that very purpose.

Listen...He speaks...He calls us to Himself, to the Cross!

If you watched Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, you will recall Pontius Pilate posing that question to his wife and Jesus .... "What is truth?"

Christians know the response. Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". He is the All!

THANKS.

Will check it out.

My computer should be back next week.

Somehow, my dad's friend trying to get him onto the new DSL connection seems to have mangled mine. Whee.

God be with you.

I agree with your statement about religion.

Though, I think buried in the article is evidence that True Spirituality is also not going away.

Thanks much for the ping.

I've always been baffled by the instinct, which I suppose is nondenominationalist, to condemn "religion," as oposed to their own Christian faith.

Religion (R-l'-j-n)
- Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
- A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
- a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny;
- institution to express belief in a divine power;
- A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

Which one of these definitions is merely a human invention?
Did God not establish a Church?
Does Christianity not need to be taught?
Is Christianity not a set of beliefs, values, and practices basedo on the teachings of Jesus Christ?
Was Jesus Christ not a spiritual leader?
