Jesus started a religion

Yes, it was when He gave the Law, but HE redeemed us from the curse of the Law so we're not under the bondage of a religious system any more.

But He did not start another one when He was here walking this planet, or even after leaving the earth.

Religion has driven more people from Christ than anything else the enemy has come up with.

The world doesn't need another system of religion for people to try to find their way to God. They need the new birth found in believing in Christ as in John 3.

The church is not supreme over Scripture, and was grafted into the vine of Israel, not the opposite. But as Rome imagines herself as speaking Truth by fiat, with the veracity of her doctrines being established upon the premise of her assured veracity, thus RCs must resort to Jesus inventing a religion because they rebel against the Lord establishing His Truth Claims upon Scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as Christianity had its foundations in the OT, and is the fulfillment of it.

“The world doesn’t need another system of religion for people to try to find their way to God”

You’re right. The world does not need another system of religion, Christ only started on faith, Catholicism. Thanks for helping me out.
