Nowadays, we often hear preachers say that the church and religion are no longer important because, what matters, according to them, is relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. And via this relationship with Christ, man would become worthy in the sight of God. They also claim that the church could not save a man.
If you are a keen student of the Bible, you would readily discern that such are claims and beliefs of impertinent people, those who have a very obscure understanding of the Bible. Of course, the church per se could not really save a man. But why is the church necessary? In the first place, is it needed or not?
If we will only exercise logic and common sense, we will not be misled. By using our common sense, let us see for ourselves if the church is needed. Common sense tells me that if it is not important, then, our Lord Jesus should not have established it! If the church is not needed, it would appear that our Lord Jesus Christ does not exercise common sense. Why build a church when it is not needed after all? It is just like installing a post, or a pillar that did not reach up to the roof. Of what use is that pillar if that is the case? If it is unnecessary you better discard it, otherwise, your head might just bump into it. If you insist in having it there, that is a proof of your lack of common sense.
There is only one true religion accepting it or not, it’s ok! Every one of us has freewill but God gave us guide to what we should do.” Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: '"
Find the Old path/the old teaching of God "Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."
And then it will lead you to the true religion that has established by God.

Every one who believes in a Deity, thinks they have.
If they proclaim Bible belief , you would think it easy. Most people believe what they are told by religious leaders, not what they have gleaned from Gods word.
These people use the Bible to prove their religion , the Bible is the only place we can find it.
I have found the scripture that reads,"deny not the gathering of the Saints " to be right on.
Without a proper Church to feed us , we become absorbed into this world.
Only the CHOSEN will find it and some who are CALLED.
Even though YOU may point the way, only the above will harken into it.

Christ said" I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light".
Believe it or not, but to reject means rejecting the truth and true religion.

Hello friend.
You have to read some (many masters many lives by dr brisn weiss is a gud start) , discover some (pray to the almighty to show you the path, open ur heart and mind to him, surrender urself to him.), find some (there are layers and layers which we dont understand, like the layers of an onion, you have to peel them off one by one. its a path to ur own self discovery, if u want to know something from my own first hand experience, here goes...
1. RELIGION IS ONLY A VEHICLE. just like you catch a bus, a train, a plane to go somewhere. its up to you, to chose ur vehicle. only in this case, all vehicles will take the same time to reach ur destination.
2. THERE IS A GOD AND HE DOES CARE WHETHER WE LOVE HIM OR NOT. i lost my father a few years ago, i was abs mad at god, then i started getting dreams related to temples of my own religion. i ignored that. then god sent me messages of his love thru goddesses and places of worship which i had never seen, not even heard of...can u imagine?
then i visited those places and they had looked exactly the same in my dreams.
i think i have bored u enuff, just keep praying, dont hurt others, forgive others, keep ur heart open to god's love n guidance, he will show you the way...

The TRUE religion comes within each and every person. Its what you believe. No one has the right to tell anyone else what to believe.

The Church of God and the Int. Church of God are not the only true Christian Church and to claim so not only put a bad light on your selves, it also makes it hard on other Christians. I go to Calvary Chapel and they teach God's word in a very accurate manner. As far as true religion, Jesus already has given us the commands of what to do. There was no Church of God, Catholic, Baptist, or any other named church during the first years of the Christian church. Any one who claims that they are the only true Christian church is a fraud.

WHY do we need religion in the 1st place? All it has ever done is separate us, created a self-righteous mentality, teach us myths and failed us.
