Seems the religious souls (pharisee's) "imag"ined, and then created pagan catholicism in their "image"!

For when old jerusalem was destroyed i believe it was then that the pharisee's who survived and still did not believe The Teachings and Prophesies concerning The Messiah; i believe it was then they began to create a religion in their "image(in and of their own vain "imag"inations and desires)"?

And it needs be REALized that The Messiah DID "Come Again", and "QUICKLY" just as He prophesied, when that which was "decaying and waxing old" DID "vanish away" when the natural, earthly, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem was destroyed! (Hebrews 8:13, Revelations 3:11; 22:7,12,20)   http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-come-quickly.html

And during that time i believe "The Body of The Messiah" was "taken up in the clouds to forever be with The Messiah"! And i believe there were many of those left behind, who when they REALized that The Faithful had been "taken up in the clouds" just as was prophesied by the Apostles! i believe there were many souls who repented, believed and were "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD!  (Romans 7:4, I Thessalonians 4:16-18, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, John 4:24)

And when "The End" of the old covenant age was, and that natural, earthly, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem was destroyed! What did those pharisee's (religious ones) who survived and yet still abode in unbelief, do? (Matthew 24:14)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-then-end-will-come-matthew-2414.html

i believe they began in earnest to create and establish a new religion, a 'religion' created of their own vain "imag"inations! The religion that they had always dreamed of ("imag"ined) and desired! (Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/sadly-imagination-and-interesting-walk.html

And i believe their quest culminated in the establishment of that which is called "roman catholicism"! And then, ever since the so-called "reform-ation" she began to conceive the multitudes of her harlot christian daughters (more than 30,000 sects)....... All of which were and are yet of her substance, for they were "imag"-ined by those religious souls (pharisee's) who "love their own life in and of this evil world" and/or religion's way(except The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27)! (John 7:7; 12:25, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4, John 12:25)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/church-playground-for-pharisees-dead.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/06/religion-is-of-father-of-lies.html

"Babylon('con'fusion) indeed and truth" with over 30,000 pagan catholic and christian sects(cults) in this day and age proclaiming "lo here(is their version a of  christ), lo there"! (Matthew 24:23, Luke 17:21, Mark 13:21)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/someone-accused-me-of-being-member-of.html

And history has revealed, and yet reveals, that multiplied billions have been killed or enslaved (in physical chains at times, yet primarily in the chains of strong delusion that are the commandments and doctrines of men) in the name of the god(s) of this, or that religion!

Proving the fruit of death and enslavement are bore of religion's way,
For life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/religions-way-is-anti-messiah.html

However, the world(babylon) IS "Coming together as one, once again"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/behold-world-is-coming-together-as-one.html

"Come out from among them and be separate!" (II Corinthians 6:17)

For TRUTH IS! "The Whole world(not just a portion) IS under the control of the evil one"! (I John 5:19)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-whole-world-not-just-portion-is.html

And those of this evil world and/or religion's way crucified The Messiah, so "Whoever would be a friend of this world(and/or religion's way in this day and age) IS(most certainly) the enemy of GOD"! (James 4:4)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/09/whoever-would-be-friend-of-this-world.html

Thankfully that which IS of The TRUTH can not be crucified, for that which IS of The TRUTH Will Always Rise Again!

HalleluYAH!

And Thankfully TRUTH IS! There IS Only One "Pure Religion and Undefiled"! (James 1:27)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

Not a system but The Active Faith of those who, in TRUTH, have been "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT! Those "sons of Our FATHER and GOD" who have their portion !NOW! in HIS Family, of "WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"....... (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, I John 3:1-2, Philippians 2:15, Ephesians 3:15)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-born-again-experience_15.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

"A Household of Faith" indeed and TRUTH! (Galatians 6:10, Ephesians 2:19)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/07/thankfully-faith-wins-victory-i-john-54.html

And NEW "Jerusalem which IS above IS free, and IS !NOW! The Mother of us all (Spiritually "Born Again" sons {naturally male or 'fe'male} of Our FATHER and GOD)"! (Galatians 4:26, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-born-again-experience_15.html

Thankfully "The Mother" of the "Born Again" brethren (naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah is no longer "mother earth", earthly and of the flesh....... For "NEW Jerusalem" which IS Heavenly IS SPIRIT and of The TRUTH!

Yes! There IS Only One "Pure Religion and Undefiled....... (James 1:27)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

Simply, ALL other religion IS "IMPURE and DEFILED"!

And atheism is a religion as well, for atheists see their version of a "god("I",ego,id,self,pride)" every time they view their reflected "image"!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/03/atheists-so-called-are-some-of-most.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

Yet, because of pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters, "The Way of TRUTH IS evil spoken of"! (II Peter 2:2)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/because-of-pagan-catholicism-and-her.html

"Come out from among them and be separate"! (II Corinthians 6:17)

Once again: Thankfully there IS One "Pure Religion and Undefiled"! (James 1:27)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

Simply, ALL other religion (except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) IS "IMPURE and DEFILED"!

And the brethren of The Messiah will have naught to do with religion's way is this day and age, for we have REALized that we have our portion !NOW! with The Messiah in The Family of "Our FATHER and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Ephesians 3:15)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

So it is that the brethren of The Messiah choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", for we know and believe that our "citizenship(Life) IS !NOW! in Heaven" and that soon, and very soon we will be taken Home, Home at last! (Hebrews 11:13, I Peter 2:11, Philippians 3:20, John 14:2-3)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-alien-and-pilgrim-while-on-earth.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/01/home-home-at-last-john-141-3.html

Till then:

The brethren of The Messiah evermore REALize, that liken unto The Messiah, so also "i can do nothing of my own self"! (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 9:4; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html

So, "You that are unable to do the least! Why do you take thought for the rest"? (Luke 12:26)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/you-that-are-unable-to-do-least-why-do.html

Yes, "unable to do the least"! For the very breath(Spirit, air) we receive to sustain this natural life reveals such unto those who have "received a love of The TRUTH so that they might be saved" from their own self("I",ego,id,pride)life! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/05/one-needs-receive-love-of-truth-to-be.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

And, "If any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know(not that which i know, but that which i have seen{experienced} and heard{received})"! (I Corinthians 8:2)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/knowledge-falsely-so-called-i-timothy.html

So it is we "cry unto Our FATHER and GOD day and night"! (Luke 18:7, John 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

Evermore sounding and resounding a Declaration of Dependence:
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html

FATHER Help!

HE DID!       and HE does.......
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/09/father-help-and-he-does.html

So Thankfully, The Peace that surpasses ALL understanding" IS! in spite of the dis-ease (no-peace) that is of this evil world and/or religion's way(except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) in this day and age! (Philippians 4:7, John 14:27; 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)

ALL Thanks and Praise Be Unto Our FATHER(TRUTH, SPIRIT, CREATOR, GOD, LORD, MASTER, LIGHT, LOVE, LIFE,,,, ALL IN ALL that which IS Truly GOOD)! (John 20:17; 14;28, Mark 10:18, Ephesians 4:6)
