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.
Correct. The church (physical building) does not determine how I pray and when I pray or even where I need to pray. I do go to church, every single Sunday if a am not working, but my priest should not tell me how I want to pray with god
