Subject: Isdenial of concept of religion legit? |
Bible Note: Hi Lionheart, I believe that there is but 2 religions in the world; one is a religion of works and the other is of grace. Maybe I'm just out of step with this postmodern culture. I have always believed that Christianity is, and has always been, the religion of grace. The True Religion which worships the True God. To be a religion it must have a statement of it's doctrines, doctrines that agree with the teaching of the Bible. If I say I have no religion then I must formulate doctrines of my own (not a good idea). Thanks, I agree with your insights on the question. Hoppy |
