Jesus didn't build a building (although he was a carpenter).
He didn't write books, or publish sermons for money (though he was probably more sure of his source).
He didn't collect money to forward his religion (as far as we know, it was only used to feed the poor, and his disciples).
He didn't pronounce judgment on any sinners (except the religious hypocrites).
He didn't proclaim allegiance to one country or flag (He called the king a fox).
He didn't follow (or trust) the central authority of the church (he said the buildings would fall, and he refused to answer the high priest's questions).
Need I go on? Surely you could fill in a few of your own. Organized religion has had thousands of years, but we have changed little. Perhaps it is time to give disorganized religion a chance.

Danielle, that was a nice rebuttal. Can you think of anything about which we agree?

i sure try.

we are urged to gather together frequently because where 2 or more are gathered there He will be. I don't know about you, but I need to be around fellow christians...to worship together and to pray together and for them to hold me accountable. i wouldn't be a very good christian without those around me "spurring me on" to good works.

i also tithe because the bible says that's what's we're supposed to do.

the bible is my roadmap in life.
i don't need anymore disorganization in my life. organized is my way.

I agree with everything you said...it's true.
but that's not what He calls us to do. I don't agree with you on that. We need people around us :)

it rather is an identical God. only one faith feels that's greater advantageous through fact they're doing it the "good" way. Their inventive and prescient of God is supposedly good, and that they are the chosen, while the different denominations are incorrect in some way. each and every denomination has their "version" of God. There are seperate church homes through fact each and every church branched off from one yet another (through disagreements or new viewpoints.) they should declare their's is the "good" one to maintain their parishoners going to that church. it rather is kinda like a save.... a save has to declare they have the best expenses, or the best high quality or in spite of. in the event that they are asserting "nicely, the save around the corner rather is an identical..." they are going to lose company and at last bypass broke. an identical with church... form of. it rather is an extremely chilly thank you to be certain it, yet human beings rather do have confidence their church is the "chosen" or acceptable one. or maybe although I accept as true with you that throughout essence they're very comparable and could all be merchandising an identical issues, each and every denomination feels it rather is the fabulous one.

Things were done alot different back then. Jesus didnt build churches or temples, but he did still teach and preach to people. He taught in groups or huge sermons. Jesus and his apostles missions in life were a little different from what we know as serving god today. It is still important for us to congregate ourselves. The bible actually says in Hebrews 10:23-25 "Let us hold fast the public declaration of our hopewithout wavering, for he is faithful that promised. And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the moreso as you behold the day drawing near."

If you want to worship God as Prophet Jesus did, then you need to make sure of your source about how Prophet Jesus worshipped God.
