I believe in worshiping God on HIS terms, not mine, and submitting to HIS requirements. After trying to "go at it on my own", and studying and practicing other faiths, I have come to believe I found the true religion, which is the religion that Jesus practiced and preached. I don't believe I am better than anyone, and I don't judge anybody, for God has given his son Jesus the authority to judge. We have a responsibility for humbling ourselves and finding the one and true way.
Jesus spoke of two ways: “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it. - Matthew 7:13, 14

But yet, when the rich man approaches Jesus - what does Jesus tell the rich man? Does he tell the rich man to just believe in him and the rest is taken care of? No, he tells the rich man to go give his riches to the poor and walk the path. He says is it harder to get a rich man into heaven, than to get a camel through the eye of a needle. Basically impossible.
However, in the church, this same rich man is supposed to be able to get into heaven by simply accepting Jesus as his savior. The rich man doesn't have to do what Jesus told him to do. He can keep his riches and still get into heaven.
Why is it that this same church has also created it's own religion? Jesus was a Jew, not a christian. Why does this same church portray Jesus as physically beautiful like the anti-christ, rather than what his actual descriptions were?
Why has this same church gone around and done things in sin? Killed those who didn't agree, just as christians were done before?
Why does the christian church teach that the scribes are the leaders?
Why is it that it says those who follow Jesus will be persecuted, and yet we have a president of the most powerful nation in the world claiming to be a christian? But yet, many who do not claim to be christian are persecuted for sticking up for the teachings of Jesus.
Why is the christian church able to get it's power before the return of christ? When the only one with true power on this earth is the god of this world, Satan?
Why is it that the christian religion is trying to establish itself as the only world religion? Converting everyone to it's symbolism and teachings as is said the anti-christ would do?
Because the christian church is the church of Satan is why. And the images you see of Jesus are images of the anti-christ.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
The only true church is not physical. You build your own personal church. It is built off of knowledge and understanding, the only things that are both on earth and in heaven at the same time, the only things that can be taken with you. The only thing which can not be destroyed, and will not be destroyed. It is no coincidence that the rich man in the eyes of god is the man with wisdom, not the one who has material wealth.
You follow and worship Satan.

Then I guess Jesus is Satan as well, as he called the pharisees hypocrites and children of Satan.
So I guess by pointing out the truth of the matter, I am Satan.

If you can attack and accuse the person rather than addressing their points do it? Whatever it takes to keep the truth from showing? Gotta hurry up and direct attention away from it, and onto the perceived faults of the messenger huh?
What I gave was not a matter of opinion. They are all verifiable truths anyone who doesn't turn a blind eye to it can see.

But, the conversion to Christianity throughout the empire resulted in a new doctrine: Our God, Our Rules, Our Holy Books. You was either apart of the community or allocated as an outsider and persecuted.
In theory, religious violence should not occur because of the common links between the Abrahamic religions. The Catholic Church has tried to implement a policy of peace with Jews and Muslims, but it is never going to occur.
1. Pharisee A member of an ancient Jewish sect that emphasized strict interpretation and observance of the Mosaic law in both its oral and written form.
2. A hypocritically self-righteous person.

Anyone with eyes can see that you are accusing the brethren, in this case, holy war.
If you don't like what it means to do that, then stop. It's all up to you.

You mean I should ignore the corrupted fruits of the church and organized religion? I should ignore it's faults? I should ignore where it has corrupted the message? I should ignore the way the religion has been used as a way of keeping people ignorant? I should ignore the way the religion has been spread? I should ignore the sin done in the name of Jesus?
Only in times of deceit is telling the truth an act of war. So if me telling the truth means it is an act of war, then it's merely a sign of the times.
