Thoughts, philosophy and religion cause the multitudes to follow that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)

The following was posted in response to a comment that simply stated, "Good thoughts!"

i appreciate the encouragement yet it needs be REALized that "thoughts", and/or "philosophy", and/or "religion(Except The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27!)" walk hand in hand along that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html

"Behold I(ego, id, self, pride) thought", has led the multitudes astray....... (II Kings 5:11; 5:1-14)

TRUTH IS! A soul needs "receive a love of The TRUTH to be saved" from their own thought filled self("l", ego, id, pride)life, and then Hopefully "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that - IS - Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology)! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, I Peter 1:23, John 3:3,7)

"Religion" was, and IS yet needful for "disobedient and gain-saying(contradicting and opposing ELOHIM) souls", who would "rather have a man than ELOHIM speak to and rule over them"! Sadly, they were never Truly "Born Again"!

(Romans 10:21, Acts 7:51; 4:20, Exodus 20:19, I Samuel 8:4-22, I John 1:3)

Further testimony @ Why "religion" was and IS yet needful for the natural man!

Sadly history has revealed, and continues to reveal, 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! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)

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!

Why "religion" was and IS yet needful for the natural man!

First, "what of The Faithful son's of Our FATHER and ELOHIM? (Philippians 2:15, I John 3:1-2, John 20:17)

Abraham and Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, The Prophets, and ALL The Faithful had, and yet have, no need for religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!). For they "trusted and loved The LORD their ELOHIM" with "all their heart, mind and soul and strength"! (Proverbs 3:5-6, Mark 12:30)

And TRUTH IS! As Mahatma Gandhi testified, so IT IS "GOD(ELOHIM) has no religion"! And he also testified, "those who believe religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion IS"! (Needs be i testify that i have great respect for Mahatma Gandhi but i do not seek to follow him for i but seek and desire to follow The Messiah on that "Narrow Way")  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/carnal-warfare-is-religions-way-which.html

TRUTH IS, in these last days The Faithful will not create a religion, for The Faithful ARE Family! (Ephesians 3:15)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html
