Who wants to go to a church that is more concerned with the collection plate than doing what's best for their congregants? IMHO, these churches sold their souls to the devil. The shepherds have sold out their flocks.
That is your interpretation. The Bible has over 60 English versions alone. While some might read into the context, others may hear the face value and that's that. Is God really so small that both you and LoneWulf are correct in your own way?
You don't need organized religion like these examples.
Matthew 18
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Amen

Jesus dined with sinners, but spoke out against the "religious". Speaks volumes.

You're suggesting that all the versions are equal, based on the fact that some people are partial to them. God is big enough to keep His own Word.
Check all 60 versions. ALL versions are copyrighted (owned) by someone....Except 1. King James version. God owns it. Nobody else.
I have experienced His Presence whilst speaking with a friend.. Awesome...
