Did you know that the word "religion" does not appear anywhere in the "original" text of the bible? Did you further know the bible claims (on its own merits) to be the Word of God? Not a philosophy, not a theology, not a religion but the revealed Word of God! Religion is of man and as such there is much confusion. Yet,
"God is not a man that He would lie . . ."Numbers 23:19. Further,
"For God is not the author of confusion . . ."I Cor. 14:33
Too often the word religion is thought to be of God and yet God never gave revelation to Holy Men wherein they wrote "religion". BTW, it's a historical fact that Aristotle was a sodomite.
