Money is the only thing religion is about.
Was that guy in TX following scripture when he refused to provide shelter to people displaced by a hurricane ?
How about the guy who "needed" a private jet?
It's all a scam.
Many are called, but few are chosen. "I (Jesus), never knew you; depart from Me, those working lawlessness...." -- Matthew 7:23 Jesus made this statement after some had declared to Him, ".....Lord! Lord! have we not prophesied in Your Name; cast out demons in Your Name; and done many wonders in Your Name.......and I (Jesus) will say unto them....." Matthew 7:22
Yes.........there are those that corrupt all the religions around the world. But you are presenting nothing but a logical fallacy based upon circular reasoning. As I asked..........show me the book, chapter and verse in the Holy Bible that authorizes any of the criminal acts propagated by some who claim to be Christians. Such as going to war (the Crusades, Hitler, etc.....to convert those of a different political ideology based upon the traditions of man instead of the actual content of the Holy Scriptures. Christian faith and doctrine are to be based upon the actual content of the Holy Scriptures, not fallacious claims by con artists. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." -- Romans 10:17 We are commanded to serach the scriptures daily to see if what is being instructed is actually contained in the Word of God. -- Acts 17:11
Who is to blame........the actual content and doctrine found in the word of God......or those who are to lazy or to gullible to search the scriptures to see if these things are authorized? There is a sucker born every minute to quote an old axiom. The Roman Catholic Church of the middle ages made it illegal by threat of prison or death to even own a copy of the Holy Bible...... The Holy Church and the Clergy only were authorized to read from the Scriptures in the dead language of Latin.
It was not until the advent of the Printing Press and the Gutenburg scriptures that the lay person could actually read the content of the Holy Bible....which resulted in the Protestant movement away from the RCC.......and eventually resulted in the founding of the United States of America by those seeking religious freedom. Which is exactly why the 1st amendment to the Constitution addresses free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and the right to assemble as well as the right to "Petition" the government.
The Vatican in Rome gave the world such noble events as the Crusades and the Inquisitions based upon torture. Hitler declared all Jews were not worthy of human rights and stated he was authorized by his Christianity to wipe them from the face of the earth.
Example: You are presenting a false premise that All Dogs of a certain breed should be put down because someone has trained and that particular breed to kill on command. I agree, these con artists give Christianity a bad name......but we are warned to TEST ALL THINGS and accept only the good that comes from truthful doctrine (1 Thess. 5:21)
In fact, the Apostle Paul made it perfectly clear that if anyone attempts to teach you any doctrine that does not agree with the content of the Holy Scriptures....they should be accursed from God. "I marvel that you are so soon removed from Him that called you to into the grace of Christ unto another gospel (truth). Which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. BUT THOU WE, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN WHICH WE (the apostles of Christ) HAVE PREACHED UNTO YOU; LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
True Christianity based upon the word of God does not teach or instruct such criminal acts.....as saying, "God loves you, but send your money to my address....." As Jesus said about the hypocrites of the 1st century......."Ye Serpents, Ye generation of Vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?" -- Matthew 23:33
