Is researching into religion a waste of time?

(May 17, 2013 at 9:06 am)goodnews Wrote: Pure religion and undefiled before God {Jesus} and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 This verse explaines their are but two criterion which God commands of religion, the first being to suport ones fellow man in their needs, and the second, to keep oneself from sin, End of. It is man who has invented systems of belief, full of un-scriptual doctrins and preached them with swelling words filled with vanity from lofty pulpit's in lavish temples. To judge God, haveing not personally read His testament and then blame Him for the foolishness of men is guilefully naive.

Well, lets see now........
Your God commanded far more than that, and I think you are fully aware of this. In the old testament you had all that old Mosaic law that was positively impossible to live by successfully. Then when the people could not do so they got “smitten” but good. Repeatedly, I might add. And Jesus had more than “visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” to say as well, else they could have saved an awful lot of red ink when printing the gospels. They could have just had him delivering the 11th commandment and then wrapped it up. Oh, yeah I almost forgot all that fanatical unhinged ranting coming from Paul....., much of which was most misogynist. Seeing as how he was sort of chosen by God to spread his word I should think what he said counted. Further, he seemed to think the end times were not all that far off. Guess he was wrong about that...

Oh yeah, there is no such word as “guilefully”. Did you perhaps mean “willfully”?Thinking
“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”
