Heh.. normally I don't get into these type of conversations because it's not very productive to do so. But in this case I feel I need to clarify a statement I made in another post.

I stated that I believed God but hated religions. I can now see where some may take it as meaning that I hate all religions and am athiest or that I beleive in a God without being in a congragation or group. So, to clarify myself, I thought I would add to this discussion just in case this started because of me (talking to Kedaman on this last point).

As a bible reader, with a quest for True Knowledge, I have found that each person persepts life differently then others. That's not a fault in itself. But, the greed of man in general has shown that even some religions will get involved into politics when they shouldn't. Jesus said in John 17:16 "They are no part of the wold, just as I am no part of the world." (New World Translation) "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" (King James)

Jesus was explaining that he does and would NOT get into the political affairs of the manmade governments. He always talking about a Heavenly government where he would be King at his Fathers right hand. (NOTE : Read the whole chapter of John 17 to read if for yourself. NEVER take the word of another man when it comes to the bible. ALWAYS find out the info for yourself. That includes me.)

Ok, so Jesus is no part of the world. Hence, those religions today that get into the political (EXAMPLE - WAR) affairs of the government are False and God does not "recognize" them. So, what about those "religions" that do not get involved. Well there is ONLY 1. And it's NOT a religion. It's a WAY of life. Some call it a religion only for those who don't know them so that they may have something as reference. In essense, the bible is meant to be read every day. It's meant to answer our problems when we are faced with them. I myself love this expression - BIBLE = Basic Instructions Before Living Eternally. Heh.. I know some of you go.. WOW.. That's neat.. but in actuallity, it's more true then you can imagine.. BUT AGAIN, I REPEAT! DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.. GO.. read it for yourself.. find out that there is a REASON why the bible actually exists.. I mean, hey, Jesus hated those who made that TEMPLE he was in, a place to make MONEY.. and look at what we have on TV nowdays.. TV Evangulests.. (Sorry can't spell) All TVEs want is MONEY. they are CONSTANTLY asking for it.

So, my statement about hateing religion is accurate. I hate false religion. And in the bible at it says that the "world is laying in the power of the whicked one.." 1John 5:19. In otherwords, Satan, who is the god of this world, he is ruining it. (NOTE : Read Revelation 12:9)

Ok, so I hope you all understand, I beleive in GOD, but hate what is bad. And the bible calls it, "The world Empire of False Religion". So.. what is the correct "religion" or way of thinking? Who should we be getting answers from? Where do we go from here? If religion is bad, NOW WHAT? The ANSWERS are all in the bible.

P.S. If you have a difference of opinion, your entitled to it, but I will NOT be duped into a religious debate with you. You must find your own way, and you must make your own decisions, NO ONE can make your decision for you. I will not answer replies that deliberatly attack. Also, it would help that if you do have a sensable reply, that you quote where you get your info from, cuzz I won't bother with you if your going by hearsay...
