WHY ARE SO MANY REJECTING/DROPPING OUT OF TRADITION CHURCHES?

BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE CERTAIN BELIEFS, RULES, AND FALSE DOCTRINES.


WONDER WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SIMPLE ANSWER WHEN ONE ASKED JESUS

"WHAT MUST I DO TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?"

THE TOTAL, SIMPLE ANSWER JESUS GAVE WAS

"LOVE GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE BEING AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

I wish I had preached more of that and less of church doctrines and rules. -editor

RESPONSE:

When religion is not kept simple, it becomes a very destructive force.....In Ireland, the Christian Catholics and Christian Protestants were warring for years.......Islamic Shiites and Islamic Sunnis are now tearing apart Iraq.....In America, Christian fundamentalists have recently supported dangerous politicians willing to promote a conservative religious agenda at the expense of our Constitution......If religion had been kept simple, none of this would have happened.......It all stems from man's arrogant attempt to strictly define God.....to selfishly personalize God.........to box Him in......and then discriminate against (or kill) those who refuse to go along for the ride.
