Religion

  I would like to talk about something I have seen over the years.

  I was raised in a family that loves God and fallows Jesus and I have put my life in Jesus hands for it is he that will bring me to ever lasting life.

  Here is were I have ran into a problem,Religion ,people have come to a place in there lives were they have put there religious beliefs before Gods commandments.

  I have to say one thing Jesus said (I have come not to change the law but to fulfill the prophecies and with that I want to say If Jesus said Gods laws are the same as they were before he came then how do people think that because there religious beliefs say its ok that makes it ok?

  Example one of Gods commandments say( You shall not commit adultery)

  definition of adultery
  Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse.

  
  Jesus in Matthew 19:9 declared that, the man who puts away his wife and marries another is committing adultery. The only exception is for immorality (fornication, adultery).
  I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

  So now way do people think that there religion over rides God .

  Here is one more to look at

  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them

  Now there are some churches that bow before the cross with Jesus on it ,is this not a graven image of a likeness of anything that is in heaven?

  All I ask is that people stand back and look at there faith to Jesus and God and see which do you fall under faith which is our devotion to Jesus and God and doing as God asks or do you fall under religion putting mans ways before God.
