PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED
(22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (23) For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (24) For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. (25) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (26) If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. (27) Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:22-27 KJV Religion thrēskeia :thrace-ki'-ah From a derivative of G2357; ceremonial observance: - religion, worshipping. So if I am understanding this right: pure religion which is not defiled is worshipping before the Lord in not only a personal relationship but is also followed up by works of righteousness which can also be defined as worshipping. To worship the Lord is too come to him in humility and isn’t that something we can do both personally and corporately? (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 KJV Worship in this verse of scripture: proskuneō; pros-koo-neh'-o From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship. So religion and worship; they are interchangeable in the sense of personal, corporate, and outward works which God ordained before the foundation of the world that we should walk in them. (10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 KJV Workmanship: poiēma; poy'-ay-mah From G4160; a product, that is, fabric (literally or figuratively): - thing that is made, workmanship. So the spiritual fabric of our being was walk in the works of God also: as an outward observance of our worship to him. Hence if we have pure religion we have pure worship which is expressed in our personal prayer and communication, our corporate worship which is expressed in praise and worship, hearing the inspired word preached, and becoming pillars in our communities through personal and corporate works of righteousness. Usually when people think of organized religion they are thinking of old dead religious organizations that are about the power and pomp people who are spiritually dead. Which are obsolete concerning pure undefiled religion! D. Ray Ritchie (Bishop)

Religion is not bad. People go around attacking religion and making comments like, "Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship." They are only half right. Christianity is about having a relationship with Jesus Christ, but it is a religion. The important thing is to walk in the truth. All religions are not equal.

Well the bible covers both man made religion which is not good, and a pure and undefiled religion which is good.

Now i am going to ask you and all a simple question . has anyone noticed that these who are so big on pushing this anti religion and relationship stuff , often every time you remind about a saying of JESUS , like be hearers and doers WHAT is the number one response you get . DONT BE SO RELIGOIUS . exactly . this is all a sham to destroy the churches from within . Todays mindset of being RELIGIOUS , is anyone who preaches OBEDIANCE . Thats RELIGOIN is the common response from this generation . And you all KNOW its true .

It is just another example of how something has been demonized to create a false doctrine. It sounds good doesn't it? "Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship." The problem is, it is not true. It gives us a little truth mixed with a lie. The word religion has been turned into something evil, when it is not. Being religious is a good thing. Being pagan is bad. Being a worshipper of false gods is bad. Of course we are in a relationship with Jesus Christ, but that does not equate to religion being bad.

Paul gives us a glimpse at the foundation of religion. And what he says is this: In all the world, fundamentally there are only two kinds of religions—true and untrue.THATS IT!!Enjoy All people—whether or not they acknowledge God—know there is a God, Paul says. How? Because he has revealed himself in his creation, in “what has been made.”7 If God has revealed himself in creation—if he can truly be known through the beauty and complexity of the earth—then, according to Paul, he must be given all the credit. When we witness the terrifying power and beauty of a thunderstorm, when we stand at the foot of a mountain and then gaze across a valley from that same mountain’s peak, when we feel the squeeze of a newborn baby’s hand on our finger for the first time . . . these experiences should make us stop and give thanks to the God who made them all possible.
And yet we know this is not always the case.

There is only one true God, and only one Lord Jesus Christ that can save us. Romans chapter one speaks of how the reality of God is found in nature. There is much truth in what you said.

And later on in that letter paul says what must specifically be done in order to be saved . That you must CONFESS with your MOUTH the LORD JESUS and Beleive from the heart that GOD has rose Him from the dead to be saved . There is only ONE GOD and TORAH is filled with HIS words . But it is not enough to beleive there is only one God . AS EVEN JESUS told the jews , IF YE beleive NOT that I AM HE , you will die in your sins . WE GOTTA KNOW and EMBRACE the ONLY WAY to that ONLY GOD . AND that IS IN JESUS ALONE . IN HE ALONE . NOW LIFT THOSE HANDS UP and JUST PRAISE THE KING .

WE IN the ALL out falling away now . THEY have , and i mean even churches , REMOVED the ABSOLUTE DIRE NEED OF JESUS TO Be SAVED . AND THEY DID IT AT THEIR OWN PERIL . ITS ALL A DELUSION . AND ITS ONE THAT IS GAINING GROUND FAST .

the social all inclusive go spell , rules in more and more hearts and churches now . Times are coming when those who betray us will think and truly believe they do gods will . Because they beleive his will is a social all inclusive unity go spell for world peace and it will lead them to the beast whom the dragon hands all power over unto . AND WE DO NOT have MUCH TIME .

The SPIRIT of anti christ was in the world in even johns days . And HOW it has MASSIVELY CAPTIVATED HEARTS to be as one . FOR THE END HOUR DOES COME . The things that were written for our learning and all warnings and prophecies , ARE COMING TO PASS . WE MUST strap on all armour and stand upon the ONLY TRUE CORNER STONE or many will be swept away with the delusion . It cannot ever become a place where unity is put above truth , or that place is DOOMED . ITS UNITY IN THE TRUTH , IN JESUS CHRIST or its NO UNITY at all .
