True religion is the life we live, not the creed we profess.

I agree. The word "religion" comes from a Latin word, "religio" which is a type of ribbon used to tie sheaves of grain together. It indicates that religion is whatever organizes and holds our individual life together, the background that gives it meaning. An intellectual assent is not necessarily a commitment. People are understood by their actions, not their words. The differences can be astounding.

The papacy is the oldest Intuition in the world .- How could it survived without the grace of God & the guidance of the Holy Spirit.........The Holy Spirtit did not convert to Islam in 610AD or Lutheranism in 1517AD or Calvinism in 1540s AD ...There's no comparisions..
St. Paul begs the early Christians to be unified in mind and in what they say. There can only be one "true" Christian Church. How can the Holy Spirit guide the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, etc. if all of those denominations have doctrines and beliefs differing from each other? There is only one interpretation of the Bible. Otherwise, people can and have "read" literally anything into It.

If you don't live your creed, what good is it?
Your creed is what you do, how you live.
Hitler lived by a creed; he didn't just profess it, he lived by it. Is that true religion?
Living by a creed doesn't make a religion true.

Yes, this is true religion. Many Christians may not agree but I do and I am a Christian.

As a Christian, I completely agree. In the book of James 1:22 it says this
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
Anyone can say what they believe but very few really live what they say they believe.

I see this as a nice way of looking at things but not a 100% reality. To some people this is true... to others... well...

I think redefining definitions seems to be a theme in R&S today. Religeon is easily definable. Look it up.

Sounds very logical. Although some people won't agree with that statement.

I believe its a very wise quotation that I have used often. It is the way I will always witness as a Christian. 3B
