"FIrst off let me say that I don't want to offend you in any way but I don't believe that the curch should be anywhere but in the homes of people
who practice and at church. I find it sad that people, even today, beleive so whole heartedly in religion. Have you looked into the history and the
facts about religion. The bilble it's self has been re-written at least a dozen times to accomodate the people in power. The Vatican it self is
teeming with the Elite and the corrupt. The Catholique religion is the richest institution in the world. Just look at all the gold in the churches.
That's not just for show, it's as good as money in the bank. They could by small 3rd world country where people are starving and help develope it
but they don't ....why? "Do onto others" they say?...What a croc!! Don't get me wrong the message the bible passes on is the best message ever
passed on. Love and help eveyone. But it's kind of hard to believe in an institution that has murded, maimed, raped, plundered...even were the cause
of certain genocides".
You are entitled to believe what you want. Those that truly believe in the Almighty do not put their trust in churches, religions or in men and
traditions. They trust in God alone. The "hi jacking" of today's churches was prophesied over 2000 years ago. That's why it says in Mathew
Chapter 24 verse 4; "Take heed that no man deceive you". These are the words of Jesus. You do not have to believe them. Then take a look around
you and ask the question: "who is deceiving who"? Jesus knew then that man would try to distort his plan. He warned us of it and told us of it.
"By their fruits ye shall know them". Now it is happening and there are plenty of liars and false prophets telling us that it is not happening.
You decide for yourself. Any one that puts their utmost trust in "man" or man made religions are fools. The atheists say that God does not exist.
The bible names them also in Psalm 14:1
During these troubling times I find peace reading Psalm 144:1 "Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth MY HANDS to WAR and my fingers to
FIGHT". Never confuse what God says with that of what men do in their lives. All have sinned except Jesus. His pain....our gain.
