With so many lies,, for hundreds maybe thousands of years....and only RIGHT NOW we as Gods People can see again! What does religion mean! Religion divides.. I am starting to realize that their are only two religions available...one of the creator and one of the destroyer Good vs evil! My God Creates, Heals, brings Peace and Joy and Love! It doesn’t seem important to me how it is divided and named! I do love and trust and try to obey my God! He says that He is the beginning and the End! The Alpha and Omega! I can tell you this one thing from my personal experience, he is also my Friend and teacher. I do love Him and Worship Him, and I do not much worry about exactly what I or we call Him! He because he said I Am!

Ra-legion. Legions only service to Ra.
Amon/Amen means hidden. It’s the name Ra took when he was in exile.
Some people say his name after prayer.
Religion is what you get when you don't have a personal relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ..
You mean, you’re woke to this truth, too?!
Let’s get you up to speed!!! Lol. It helps if you don’t confuse spirituality as being a religion... because it’s not. That divine energy you feel inside you - that’s spirit!!!! I consider myself to be spiritual, but I don’t prescribe to any one religious system because it prevents me from experiencing god. We learned in middle school history that the bible only contains some of the ancient religious books; politics decided what texts would be in it. Considering what you know today, think about that. This might sound harsh but it’s 100% true: Religion forbids you from questioning its validity, requiring you to believe what you are told to believe... and if you don’t believe what you were told to believe, you’ll suffer for all eternity! Politics hasn’t changed much has it?
Being spiritual vs religious, I’m able to see the truths in the bible - which is completely different than the religious perspective. Religion labels me as a pegan and refuses to believe its fish is symbolic for the age of Pisces! They know that when Moses returned from the mountain, the people were worshiping a bull (Taurus). He was furious because they were now in the age of Aries (Ram). With Jesus, the fisherman of men, we moved into the age of Pisces. He told us that he’d be with us until the end of the age. Saying we’ll come into the new age when we see the water bearer and that we should follow him into his house. But how can we see this water bearer, you might wonder? No need to wonder at all! It’s reference throughout the bible, but you can start at the beginning for the most simple instructions. When God made the lights and the stars in the sky - he told us to use them as signs!!! If we believe the bible - we should be able to see it! Could we see the water bearer as a sign in the sky!? Yes, Aquarius!
Being spiritual brings a whole different meaning to spiritual battle... It’s a real war! It’s referred to as a spiritual battle because we are spiritual beings! Can you believe you’re really in that war that’s been going on for god only knows how many millennia!? A literal war against evil satan worshippers!!! We have never been so close to winning!!! But religion is doing its job, deceiving. All those potential spiritual warriors sitting on the sideline. Imagine if they all focused their spiritual energy on this war... it would over in a blink of an eye! That however, requires unity. But religion is a powerful system of control... won’t happen. Not while we’re in the age of Pisces. We’re at the cusp of the Age of Aquarius now. You can see it everywhere... all the symbology, the colors. This battle, lol. Yeah we’re there. But we spiritual beings have to make that transition together. While we’ll probably win this battle... we’ll still be at war until we fully rid our world of all the satanic demons and their spawn. That’s gonna require a lot of spiritual warriors that doesn’t look like will join the war any time soon.
My grandparents taught me that just talking about the Bible and God with others was a form of church, and it could be done anywhere. They felt we didn't have to all belong to the same religion to follow the Lord. That you didn't need to ask for forgiveness for something you didn't do. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. That if you do something nice for someone, it will come back tenfold in a different form, at a different time in life, when you need it the most.
Peace Love and Joy this evening to all that believe God Wins.
Religion is a group that more or less agrees on how to interpret the scriptures and how to worship.
Broccoli is the only true vegetable. Eat Broccoli or you will die. Celery is the least healthy vegetable of them all. When eating Celery you burn more calories than Celery has to offer and you will eventually starve to death.
(My point being eat all your vegetables)
I'm glad you know him as "I Am", which in Hebrew is his name "Ehyeh". This is a form of what he reveals his personal name to be, "Yahweh", which can be paraphrased as the concept "I Am I". Seek this self-existent one as he reveals himself, and he will show himself also to be the one who came as the Son of Man.
Religious work is not the issue. Life is to be lived. Draw near to him and he will draw near to you. Seek his official comms and he will reveal them to be the 66 books of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. He will speak to you from them as from a love letter.
Religion is what can I do to reach god. How must I act.when we have a relationship though with The Everlasting God
Of the three proposed derivations of the word "religion", that suggested by Lactantius and endorsed by St. Augustine seems perhaps to accord better with the idea than the others.
He says it comes from religare, to bind. Thus it would mean the bond uniting man to God.
The notion of it commonly accepted among theologians is that which is found in St. Thomas's "Summa Theologica", II-II, Q. lxxxi. According to him it is a virtue whose purpose is to render God the worship due to Him as the source of all being and the principle of all government of things.
There can be no doubt that it is a distinct virtue, not merely a phase of another. It is differentiated from others by its object, which is to offer to Almighty God the homage demanded by His entirely singular excellence.
In a loose construction it may be considered a general virtue in so far as it prescribes the acts of other virtues or requires them for the performance of its own functions. It is not a theological virtue, because its immediate object is not God, but rather the reverence to be paid to Him. Its practice is indeed often associated with the virtues of faith and charity.
Still the concordant judgment of theologians puts it among the moral virtues, as a part of the cardinal virtue justice, since by it we give God what is due to Him. St. Thomas teaches that it ranks first among moral virtues. A religious attitude towards God is essentially the product of our recognition, not only of His sovereign majesty, but also of our absolute dependence on Him.
Thus, as Father Rickaby says, He is not merely "the Great Stranger", our behaviour towards whom must be invested with awe and admiration; He is besides our Creator and Master and, in virtue of our supernatural filiation in the present order of things, our Father. Hence we are bound to cherish habitually towards Him sentiments of adoration, praise, thanksgiving, loyalty, and love.
Such a demeanour of soul is inexorably required by the very law of our being. We must not, however, rest satisfied because perchance our interior bearing is fairly in conformity with this standard. We are not simply spirits.
Our composite nature needs to express itself by outward acts in which the body as well as the soul shall have a part — this not only to spur on our inner feelings, but also because God owns us body and soul, and it is right that both should show their fealty to Him. This is the justification of external religion.
Of course God does not need our worship, whether interior or exterior, and it is puerile to impugn it on that score. We cannot by our homage add anything to His glory, unless it be the extrinsic increment of the theologians of which account need not be taken here.
It is not because it is strictly speaking of use to Him that we render it, but because He is infinitely worthy of it, and because it is of tremendous value to ourselves. The chief acts of this virtue are adoration, prayer, sacrifice, oblation, vows; the sins against it are neglect of prayer, blasphemy, tempting God, sacrilege, perjury, simony, idolatry, and superstition.
