A man can find himself in different state of confusion caused by different circumstances of life but the biggest confusion that a man can have is when he finds himself in the state of equating Jesus Christ with religion.

Many with the evil heart of unbelief over the years have argued that Jesus Christ came to establish religion (Hebrews 3:12) . This has made some others to find it extremely difficult differentiating religion from the works of Christ on the cross of Calvary (1 Peter 2:24).

Jesus never came to establish religion but came to reestablish the lost relation between God and man. Our early parents — Adam and Eve first enjoyed perfect communion with God the Father until the fall of man when they disobeyed God not to eat from the forbidden tree (Genesis 2:16-17). Man was driven from the Garden of Eden and presence of the Lord thereafter (Genesis 3:23, 24). So Jesus came to reestablish that once perfect relationship of man with God.

Any man who forsake sin and accept Jesus into his heart has restored communion with the Father (Acts 10:43) . Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). Mediator in the sense that He acts as a bridge between the separated God and man because of disobedience (Romans 5:19). For this reason Jesus said no man can go back to the Father except through the Him, the Son (John 14:6).

Jesus Christ never died for religion. He died to save and redeem mankind from destruction and doom which was certain for man if Jesus had not come. The blood Jesus on the cross is for the remission of sins (Romans 3:25) replacing the blood sacrifice of animals which was a means of atonement of sin in those days. Now there is no need for slaughter of animals for the forgiveness of sins because of the works of Jesus Christ on the cross. If we just confess our sins, the Lord is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us — with the blood Jesus from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Jesus Christ was never religious but holy sent by God to save man (John 3:16). It was even the religious scribes and Pharisees that troubled Jesus ministry accusing Him of blasphemy for equating Himself with God (John 10:30) but whether anyone likes it or not, all knees shall bow and all tongues shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord including all religions and religious people (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:9-11).

Just the same way religion was against the ministry of Jesus in those days, so also it is now. Jesus is never for religion but religion against the works of Christ.

Christianity is having an intimate relationship with God through Christ. Christianity without the adherence of Christ’s principles and doctrine cannot be referred to as Christianity but religion also. Christianity without the influence of the Holy Spirit is not Christianity but religion.

Jesus should not be confused with religion because Jesus is far above religion. Jesus the only way to God and not religion (John 14:6). While religion has led to the lost of many lives and properties, the works of Christ redeem mankind and has saved many lives from hell and death and still save till today and the future to come (Revelation 1:18).

Revelation 1:18 KJV “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

Sir,i don't understand your definition of religion

Jesus Christ is God — God the Son and the second person in the Divine Trinity (Isaiah 9:6). He was sent by God the Father to save mankind (John 3:16).

Jesus is God,yes- so are you! Everything, everyone is made up of God. God exists in all forms and layers of existence. Everything you can imagine is God. The Bible is not the problem, but human misinterpretation is.

The idea of Jesus saving humans is a misinterpretation. A man travelled to India to learn about the transfiguration of the Buddha, learned from the Hindus on how man can become God. He went back to his homeland and declared himself God, he tried to teach others how to be in tune with the God Mind in them- hence the term saviour came about.

Miseducation is the problem here. Unfortunately the pastors are making it worse.

Jesus is a man.

Adam n Eve are Caucasians.

Don't ever say that Caucasians are ur ancestor.

Christianity is a religion.

It's Pure stupidity to even try to say Christianity is not a religion.

Christians don't actually know the religion they profess.
Christianity is a combination of a number of religions(Paganism n Judaism).

If God wants to forgive our sins, He wouldn't send a son that he created to coman do blood ritual before he can forgive us.

in as much as i will agree that Jesus did not come to establish any religion, Christianity today is a religion and Jesus is its central figure

you're quoting from the Bible... which is the holy book of Christianity.. the bible tells its own story.. the story doesn't make a religion any less of what it is.. other religions have their own stories.. but that doesn't make them less of a religion does it?
