Well, I find it admirable that you are against the organization of religion as I find it to be more about power than anything else. A new question for you now. If you were to be really successful in spreading your version of Christianity, how would you prevent it from becoming one of the organizations you are against?
I did not say I am against organized religion. I just have problems with some of their "showings of faith." Preserving an image over helping people is a big one. Biblically based Christianity is not unique to me. Most Non-Denominational sects of Christianity adopt this method determining direction. some have met with more success than others. but speaking where the bible speaks and remaining silent where the bible is silent is the ultimate goal for most.
To answer your question if I were placed in a position of leadership and the goal was to prevent people from perverting a specific brand of christianity what would I do?
Teach those who wanted to be taught and allow those who wanted to break away the freedom and help to do so.
Why? because we are commanded to Love the Lord with all of our being and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Not to worship as Drich commands.
