What Exactly is Religion?
You will be amazed at your findings...

“We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”

- Jonathan Swift

Is the above quote true or false for you? Who first defined the word religion? And, if religion is, defined correctly by professed scholars and theologians of old then where is the substance, fruit, love and power of religion in the world?

Frankly, I believe religion is the world’s definition of polytheism that has nothing to do with monotheism the worship and belief of ONE G-D, within and around. I also believe religion has wrongly been used as the ‘buzzword’ for goodly or right when in fact the word religion recorded only three times in the Bible refers to vanity and ill-informed religious practices.

Both James the half brother of Christ and the Apostle Paul, must be the chosen Prophets for defining the word religion as they were the only ones who coined and recorded the word in the Bible. And they actually despised the word.

In Acts Chapter 26: 1-5: Paul defending himself before King Agrippa (A Greco-Roman King) uses the negative word religion to describe his youthful ignorance as a Pharisee then uses the words: “Now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of G-D unto our fathers.”

The Jews with their strict religious traditions just like the Greco-Roman religions and denominations of today of world, Paul was trying to point them towards a higher faith and belief system of righteousness by faith in YHWH alone.

Paul, renewed and now mature in Yahweh was constantly pointing to the invisible, being more powerful than the visible of world in the now. In verse 8 of Acts Chapter 26, this is clear as he states: “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that G-D should raise the dead?”

If still in doubt, in Galatians 1: 13 Paul again refers to his ignorance and blindness in time past as he states: “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of G-D, and wasted it.”

For those that do not know, the Apostle Paul was formerly Saul a Roman soldier that persecuted the people and Church of YHWH. [See Acts 9: 1-35 KJV]. Paul even points to the ignorance of the Jews who eventually sided with the Romans to persecute and crucify the Hebrew Ethiopic Christ.

Christ as Yahshua was never one for religion! He was a firm believe of the Kingdom of YHWH is within. [See Luke 17: 21 KJV] This is the true and original Gospel unpopular in the world. For this is foolishness to the world for the world prefers man-made, appointed old boys networks and Greco-Roman appointed look-alikes to represent their theological findings, fabrications and lies.

How could Paul and James be wrong but every other carnal scholar or theologian be right? Even the Apostle James, the half brother of the Christ defines religion as: “If any man you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.” [See James 1: 26 KJV]

What more is there to say? The problem with most religions and denominations is that they base their finding from HUMAN INTELLECT AND SELF more than the Prophets of old. [See 2 Chronicles 20: 20 KJV]

This has a rippling effect on the billions of people that attend churches and temples the world over. People of all ages are eager to learn and do good but money, fame and g Olden trinkets of Baal and popery rule slaughter the sheep of Israel. James as a follower an family member of the Hebrew (not Roman) Ethiopic Christ must have known what the Christ stood for and so wrote: “Pure religion and undefiled before YHWH is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” [See: 27 KJV]

Now that has just smashed the feet of the clay of Daniels dream of the all religions and denominations of the world that think they are so right and every one else including the Prophets of old are wrong. Religion is blindness, division, vanity and world that is everything in opposition to YHWH. [See 1 John 2: 15-17 KJV]

I hope you uneducated church-folks and atheists are listening. I hope that regardless of your beliefs you humble yourself, fall to your knees and confess you are in need of plain truth, within.

In closing, there are too many Sunday and Sabbath religious people that do not know their Bible or what is, written of the Prophets of old still ruling of the Spirit to spirit of the now.

Let me leave you with this supra-natural thought: if you think the Prophets of old as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Sarah, Ruth, Esther are not ruling over our spirits as angels in the now then how will we know what, where and which way to go?

Selah.
