Religion is a way we communicate with our creator. We were created by him for a purpose to this earth for him.
This days, religion has become a yardstick for men to plunge into for amassing wealth from the followers. The creator is warning for a change because there is danger ahead.

Christ, however, if one accepts he taught a religion, taught more of how to relate with your fellow human being, and not with some creator in some heaven whom you see not. For in as much as you do for those here whom you see, God should be pleased.

That's not true!. If you know Jesus Christ at all, you would have known that He came to save us from sin, which alienated us (humans) from God, and ultimately to reconcile us back to God. Our relationship with others stemps from our relationship with and love for God, not that you or we are good people. All such acts of human goodness and benevolence without love for the almighty God and Jesus Christ our Savior, is exercise in futility. The devil also do that, so nothing new. Your goodness and good deeds must be born again.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


Have you received eternal life?. It's in Jesus Christ alone!.

Yes, its just another instrument of control. At least this one is optional unlike government and money.

I never knew the devil did goodness, benevolence and love. Got any references please?

As to good deeds needing to be born again, I know an atheist who ships books to the library in his community that otherwise wouldn't have books. Many people have benefitted from this atheist's deed, but from what you say above, no good has been done as far as god is concerned. I can't say I understand that god determines good by whether one worships god or not.

The Samaritan did not worship god but we call him good today. And I think the Levi and the Priest were bad. Or are you claiming I misunderstand?

Good works Alone can not save anybody. Don't let that deceive you. Only faith and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ can save a man. The foundation on which everything else must be built with regards to salvation and life, must be on Jesus Christ. As a sky scrapper can not stand without a foundation, no more can any man be saved by only being good.

The verdict of God is that you get born again. No addition, no matter how beautiful, can change that.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Only Jesus Christ saves. Salvation is now!.
