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.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 New International Version 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
