Religious are lazy, they sit on their butt and wait for "call of action" not doing anything, right?

Answer 1

WRONG; I am doing something everyday by giving you and others the very truth of God that has been hidden from the eyes and ears of many. Here is yet another example;

The “Last Great Day,” represents the time when those who have never had the knowledge to understand salvation will be resurrected and be given that chance. Only then will God’s initial plan for mankind be at an end. Thus, this last great day of God pictures the greatest period of salvation for mankind—the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

In the book of Leviticus we are told to observe the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days and it is a commanded assembly. On the first of the seven days no work is to be done (Leviticus 23:34-35). Carefully notice in verse thirty-six there is an “eighth day” of worship held immediately after the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Because this eighth day came on the heels of the Feast of Tabernacles, people who came to keep the Feast remained to keep the eighth day also and it became associated with the Feast.

In the New Testament it is called “The Great Day of the Feast” (John 7:37). There must be thirst if there is to be a desire to drink. If the condition is right, the desire will follow. This is the same truth Jesus expressed to the Samaritan woman (John 4:14). Jesus also taught that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness would be satisfied (Matthew 5:6).

Jesus also spoke of the final resurrection in connection with the “Last Great Day.” Compare John 11:23-26 with John 6:39, 40, 44.

Jesus used the term “living water” in (John 4:10) to indicate eternal life. Jesus’ words, “Come unto me, and drink” allude to the theme of many Scriptures that speak about the Messiah’s life giving blessings (Isaiah 12:2, 3; 44:3, 4; 58:11). By promising the Holy Spirit to all who believe, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah, for that was something only the Messiah could do.

White Throne Judgment
John tells us that after the final rebellion and punishment of Satan he saw a Great White throne. And standing before the throne was a great vast multitude of resurrected dead made up of those who never participated in God’s plan or understood the message of Jesus. Many millions of infants have unknowingly awaited this second resurrection from their graves.

Jesus tells us that Tyre, Sidon and Sodom also had not received the witness of the gospel (Matthew 11:21-27). But a time of judgment was coming when they would be given the opportunity to understand what He preached to Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum.

Besides these people mentioned, the people of Nineveh and the Queen of the south, Sheba, would hear His good news message (Matthew 12:41-42).

The people of Palestine together with the people and nations of all past ages will be given their first opportunity to understand the gospel (Ezekiel 37:1-10).

These resurrected billions will be raised and given human bodies that breath air and are made of flesh and bone (Ezekiel 37:5-9).

These resurrected people are promised they will know the Lord and He is the one that will put His Spirit within them. He will also put them in their own land and they shall know it is the Lord God who did this for them (Ezekiel 37:13-14). This is the same outpouring of the Spirit Jesus spoke about on the Last Great Day of the Feast (John 7:37-39).

Jesus and the Saints Judge
The Scriptures make it clear Jesus Christ will be the Chief Judge in the Last Great Judgment (Revelation 20:11; Daniel 7:9 compared with Psalms 9:7) and the Saints will judge with Him, (1 Corinthians 6:2). It is confirmed by Peter that Jesus is the judge of both the living and the dead (Acts 10:40-42). Jesus Himself also confirmed this fact (John 5:22).

Daniel saw God judging millions of people as they stood before Him (Daniel 7:10).

Isaiah envisioned for us the final days of the judging of the resurrected billions of people at the end of the Millennium. During much of the world’s past history, half of the babies born died within the first year after birth. But, during the judgment period after the Millennium, no babies will die and old people will not die prematurely.

For someone to die at one hundred years of age will be like a baby dying today. Habitual sinners will still be present, but by the time they reach a century in age they will be declared “cursed” (Isaiah 65:20).

These resurrected multitudes are counted among God’s elect, are made participants in His plan and given candidacy for the Kingdom of God after they receive His Spirit. They will have a close and intimate relationship with Him (Isaiah 65:20-23).

These multitudes at the end of the Millennium in this Last Great Judgment period will be given One Hundred years to show by their works their willingness to follow God’s Spirit, submitting to His divine direction (Isaiah 65:20).
God will be patient, but by the time they reach the age of one hundred they will be declared “cursed.” This means death. “Those He proclaims “cursed” will be cut off” (Psalms 37:22). And death and hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death (Revelation 20:14).

Answer 2

There are definantly some religious people who are lazy, just as there are non-religious people who are lazy. This would be equal to saying that if one particular member of a race is a thief than everyone else in that race is a thief. You can not judge an entire population on a fews actions. Look at that population as a whole, where do they spend thier time?, Money, and effort? If you look hard enough you will find that it is religious people who fund a majority of the worlds relief efforts. They also send people into these areas to work and build, not asking to be paid in return, but raising the money to pay for the work themselves.
