Thankfully "Faith Wins The Victory", not religion!

And The TRUTH always bears repeating.......

"Faith Wins The Victory", not religion! (I John 5:4)

However, 'religion' was, and is yet needful for the natural man! Those "disobedient and gainsaying(contradicting and opposing GOD) souls", who are "stiff-necked and uncircumcised of heart and ears"! Those souls who would rather have a man(Moses/Prophets) than "Our FATHER and GOD" speak to them, and would rather have a man(Saul/Kings) than Our FATHER and GOD rule over them!  (Romans 10:21, Acts 7:51, Exodus 20:19, l Samuel 8:4-21)

And Yes! Atheism is a religion as well, for atheists see their version of a god("I",ego,id,self,pride) each and every time they view their reflected "image"!

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

So it is, The Faithful "Born Again", of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT, sons(naturally male or 'fe'male) of Our FATHER and GOD" will not create, nor will they have their portion in religion's way as known today, for The Faithful ARE Family! (I Peter 1:23, I John 3:1-2, Philippians 2:15)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

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

And NEW "Jerusalem which IS above IS free, and IS !NOW! The Mother of us all(The Faithful "Born Again" sons{naturally male or 'fe'male} of Our Father and GOD)!" (Galatians 4:26, I John 3:1-3, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, John 20:17)

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

Thankfully "The Mother" of the 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 of The SPIRIT and TRUTH!

And the brethren of The Messiah have their portion !NOW! in "A Household of Faith"! (Galatians 6:10, Ephesians 2:19)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/07/thankfully-faith-wins-victory-i-john-54.html

So it is that The Faithful "Born Again" souls, and "son's(naturally male or 'fe'male) of Our FATHER and GOD"; those "brethren of The Messiah" choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth"! For Thankfully we have REALized that our "citizenship(Life) IS !NOW! in Heaven" and that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last! (John 3:3, I Peter 1:23, Hebrews 11:13, I Peter 2:11, Philippians 3:20, John 14:2-3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-born-again-experience_15.html

(I Corinthians 15:54-55) And "when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written; 

Death IS Swallowed Up In Victory!

Oh death, where is they sting! Oh grave, where is thy victory"! (I Corinthians 15:54-55)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-messiah-testified-whoever-lives-and.html

HalleluYAH!

For IT IS as The Messiah testified, "Whoever lives and believes in Me SHALL NEVER DIE"! (John 11:26a)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-messiah-testified-whoever-lives-and.html

Then The Messiah questioned, "Do you believe this"? (John 11:26b)

YES!       And you?       Do you believe?

Thankfully TRUTH IS! "Our FATHER and GOD is not the god of the dead, HE IS The GOD of The Living"! (Mark 12:26-27, Matthew 22:32, Luke 20:38)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/our-father-and-god-he-yet-communes-with.html

And until The Faithful brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah receive that final breath(Spirit, air) on earth, we REALize evermore how "poor and in need" of Our FATHER and GOD we Truly are! For liken unto The Messiah, so also have His brethren REALized "i can do nothing of my own self"....... (Psalms 70:5; 72:13, John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 9:4; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14; 20-17)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html

So it is we "cry unto "Our FATHER and GOD" day and night"....... (Luke 18:7, John 20:17)

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)  Someone accused me of being a member of a cult!
