Bible Question: What is the difference between Religon and Christianity? |
Bible Answer: Sister, A lot depends on how you define religion. The word means "that which holds or binds together" at it's root with the dictionary definitions elaborating on the ties that binds God and man together such as worship. And then there is James 1:27 27: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." Lots of room to run wild in this field. Emmaus |
