it's nice of you to come along in the year 2013 and decide what Christ meant when, on the Apostles, He founded the Catholic Church. For one thousand six hundred years the church did just fine following what He taught but along came Luther Zwinglie, Calvin, Metmom and decided that they knew better how to form a thought process than did GOD. It amazes me no end how individual people thing that they have the knowledge and authority to change that which Christ established.....amazing!!!
Well, if God were interested in religion, Jesus didn’t need to die.
The Jews had a perfectly fine, legalistic, religious system going that they elaborated on from the Law that God handed down at Mt. Sinai. If the Law that God Himself gave didn’t save, then nothing any man concocts will do any better.
Jesus came to mend the broken relationship between God and man so that we could become God’s children through faith in Him.
Religion is about man trying to reach God. Jesus is God reaching man.
