With GOD?
Why do you think people need a Organized religion to have a relationship with GOD?
GOD does not need a religion otherwise he would gave the first man and woman a religion to follow.
Jesus Christ was a Jew because that is the only religion that believed in a Monotheistic GOD, and since he was GOD in the flesh did he expect people to follow any religion or just follow his teachings without religion?
Maybe Jesus was trying to teach what GOD had intended the first man and woman to folllow in the Garden..
Thoughts?

I agree with you totally and I am a Christian. Religion per se is man made. I would hope that like in the days of Jesus, that one believer will teach another and he/she will teach another etc. It would be more peaceful and more loving than what we see in the religious institutions of today. We must lead by example...by our faith and dependence on God, by our personal relationship with Him/Jesus and by being as obedient to His word as our interpretation will allow us to be. We are after all just as capable of interpreting scripture as is any man.

Some people would like to believe that they hold all the answers. Some people would like to believe there are no answers. Some people believe the god asnork will bring salvation to the key stones in baraknadesh. Whatever you believe, know the one truth. God has a relationship with everyone. Some bad, some good, some horrible. While some need the guidance of a church head, some follow God blindly and readily. While some choose to ignore His exsistance. Be strong in whatever YOUR personal relationship is. If you need church, go. Its that simple...

I feel that religion is an invented language form to give us humans some way to consistently talk about our spiritual experiences. Language, unfortunately, is a rather blunt tool, and humans, unfortunately, can be a rather dull lot. What seems to have occurred is that the creative mythology of religious language has been taken as statement of fact (there is no monopoly on this occurrence) and thus our common experience of spirituality has been turned into exclusive clubs that often espouse intolerance.

All people that are of God are born with the commandments of God, inbedded within them, written on their hearts, but not all people are of God some are known as tares.
Tares are of Satan and are born of flesh and blood at the WILL of men. and Satan is their father
Adam, Eve, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's 12 sons, all had been given the Word of God at their birth. It was not until Moses that the Word which was written on the heart was replaced with stone,

Yes. Only you and God know your heart. Organized religion is just a form of a cult. A true believer believes with or without it.

why do you need a middle man to communicate with god? (church, pastors, etc...) go directly to the source. remember the kingdom of god is within you... st line of teh dead sea scrolls which like thousands of other scrolls are selctively banned/denounced by the church for their own profit and well being...

Some say tradition (a religion) is important in order not to stray, but I am not sure they are correct.
