Bible Question: I am doing some research on the the spirit of religion. The same spirit that Jesus found in the Pharisees. I am researching the effects and casues and roots of the spirit. Basically this is what the bible calls the form of Godliness but denying the power there of. |
Bible Answer: Hi Elijahprophet, The Scripture that you allude to is 2 Timothy 3:5, "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these." The Greek word here for godliness can be translated "piety". It should not be capitalized. Rather than studying about the spirit of religion would it not be better to study about the Spirit of God? Just a thought. From the heart, Ray |
