Why?
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled. - Jesus
Matthew 5:6
Religion by definition says
the body of persons adhering
to a particular set of beliefs and
practices: a world council of
religions.
Jesus was opposed to any system
that stood between the hurting,
the broken, the sinful and Him.
Religion, in videos case, is a set of
beliefs or practices without Jesus.
There are six cases of the word
religion in the Bible (depending in
translation). Here are three of them
1 Timothy 5:4
But if a widow has children or grandchildren,
these should learn first of all to put their
religion into practice by caring for their own
family and so repaying their parents and
grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.
James 1:26
Those who consider themselves
religious and yet do not keep a tight
rein on their tongues deceive
themselves, and their religion is
worthless.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts
as pure and faultless is this: to look
after orphans and widows in their
distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world.
Jesus and the
Thirsty Woman
John chapter 4
The Samaritan woman said to him, “You
are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For
Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
Religion is about separation
not unity.
Are you greater than our father Jacob,
who gave us the well and drank from it
himself, as did also his sons and his
livestock?
Religion is about “where do you
worship” instead of “who do you
worship?”
Then, leaving her water jar, the woman
went back to the town and said to the
people,
When you meet Jesus you’ll leave
your “bucket” behind to reach the
world.
