Okay, let's clarify. He didn't come to END religion, he was all about REFORMING it. When Jesus was alive (and he was), he preached love and acceptance for ALL (a point religions today miss entirely). He didn't judge (again, a concept modern religion can't grasp, even though they preach otherwise), and he sought out the people that the corrupt church (twisted since the beginning, the church) wouldn't accept for whatever reason. I think you're right, he wanted us to live with faith alone, not the rules set forth by man in the name of God.

You need to consult a dictionary. The fact of believing and/or revering some kind of diety is, by definition, 'religion'. By blathering on about how believing in Jesus is not 'religion', you are just further compounding the delusional beliefs that already corrupt your mind.
If Jesus "... came to end religion...", and you followed that teaching, you would be an atheist.

I hate all concepts of god couse they are all extensions of man ego.
But I like Jesus couse he has long hair and talks sense (unless he is stoned)
any way the bible lost it's meaning when the Romans changed it to fit their own morals.The Romans called it the canon and it has been changed since.
(f.Y.I I have never read or seen the DA vinchi code)
Man made religion Man made war Man made beer GOD MADE WEED.
Can You trust men who give up free thought to serve the will of other men
who call themselves God.
I know religion is false but I didn't Jesus Agreed with me .
Satanist also agree with Jesus .(Satanist don't worship Satan as atheist don't worship Ath)

Yes I do realize this. When you are a Christian you walk by faith, in a religion you are still following a lot of rules that are made up by the sect so they can be separated from other sects.

that makes sense because jesus originally came as the son of god and to educate us and follow the word of god because everything good jesus did was in the name of god and he just wants us to believe and listen religion is just pathways to god but with the same purpose jesus religion is just instruction for our way of being having jesus to listen to there would be no need for religion if we obey with the want to,unfornatelty the whole world dosent believe in jesus so there will be some religions that will never break the chains

Jesus said (No man comes to the Father but by me.) A man who has saved himself is not inneed of a savior. For they have turn their hearts away from God and they have hardened their hearts. Jesus came to provide a new covanent and to end blood sacrafice and to fulfill the prophecies fortelling of his arrival. He is the Messia. He brought a new covenent to the gentiles. (Who soever believes in me shall not die but have ever lasting life.)

Thats a good line of thought, however it is not completely accurate.
Jesus didn't come to end religion, He came to preach a message and die *cough* and live.....and die again *cough*
As long as you believe its better to do good rather than to do evil or hurt people, then you get the message. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

I know that before Armageddon that the kings of the earth are going to destroy all FALSE religion. God will put into their hearts to carry out his one thought, even their one thought, to destroy Babylon the Great. And she will never recover. Only Gods true worshipers will continue to congregate.

Jesus never wanted christianity to happen. so 2 billion people made a religion to mock him. half of those people know that its wrong and the rest are too ignorant to realize it.
