I am writing a religious exemption to work, they are challenging those who write it by saying “well your faith or your pastor/priest accept the vaccine” and my true argument to that is that a priest or a place of worship does not define my personal relationship with god. The priest and church do help me when I feel down or forget, but the do not define the way I communicate to the one and only.
I need a Bible verse (or multiple useful ones too) that explains that Me and God is not Me -> Church -> Priest -> God.
exactly, all you need is an understanding of Jesus. anything extra just gets in the way. not sure if this would help, but it's a good one.
Matthew 19:21 KJV
Jesus said unto him,
If thou wilt be perfect,
go and sell that thou hast,
and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
