Why do you believe in organized religion when your great lord and savior rebelled against it when he was alive? (according to the bible)

He did not rebel against "organized religion." He rejected the hypocritical teachings of the Pharisees. He took part in the Jewish traditions, and attended synagogue.

Now Christ did tell us to preach and teach the Gospel to every Christian. I dont care for religion at all but i do care for teaching Gods' word. You have to understand why Jesus rebelled against the pharisees and saduciees. He didnt go against any other jew but only those who thought they were better and more important than anyone else. It seems your trying to find sin or a lack of deity in Him, you wont but keep looking. Organization can be and is a good thing. Its until religion is brought in that corupts it. By the way thanks for lifting up the name of my Saviour. He is great.

Thats why im non denominational. If I would classify myself in any religious terms it would be Christianity, but I would prefer something else like Jesus freak. Religion is just mans interpretation of Gods words. Man isnt perfect and we can be pretty biased or stupid so im not going to take mans interpretation as perfect. I try to base my life off of the Bible and not the organized church.

Can you list the scriptures where He states these things? I don't recall what you're talking about. Jesus spoke out about poor leadership in certain Jewish areas in His day. I don't believe He ever mentioned "organized religion" as a bad thing. He did say not to get caught up in ritual - that's not quite the same thing as organized religion.

Hmmmm... and so when Jesus organized His Church you think it was disorganized?...
12 Disciples... teaching them... guiding them... teaching them to recognize the Spirit of the Law rather than the Letter of the law...
Jesus rebelled against the way the laws were being enforced...
I think because most of the laws are to guide us and not to condemn us...
there are a few "must do's" as Jesus mentions to his Disciples, like Baptism

Colossians 1:18
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
The church is Christ's body--
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

He was the original rebel. He was against hypocrites leading the faith...NOT faith itself.
Read you bible.

We like to see the ministers and missionaries get paid on time so they don't go hungry.
