Religion is a Straight Turn-Off

Religion is a straight turn off, it’s full of Do’s and Don’ts. We all have had a taste of religion growing up, and it’s a major role in why many people are athiest, believe in something other than Jesus, or just straight out rebel against God. Well, it took me until I got saved to realize that religion and Christianity are two totally different things.

You know all throughout the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Jesus constantly got into it the Pharisees and Saducees. The Pharisees and Saducees were the priests! As a matter of fact who do you think crucified and murdered Jesus? It wasn’t the people, it was the darn preachers! Jesus and religion will never get along. Now to fully understand what I’m saying read those 4 books in the Bible, or just get a concordance or go to Biblegateway.com and look up the word pharisees and it will bring up all the times Jesus and them argued about something, and show how they wanted to kill Him for His teachings. I mean, religion accused Jesus, the Son of God of being the devil Himself. So it’s no wonder good people get turned off by it.

Now let me tell you what Christianity is. It’s a personal relationship with Jesus and God. I said it in that order because you first have to know Jesus in order to know God. Jesus is that VIP ticket, without it you ain’t getting close to that gate! But it’s a personal relationship. You talk to them and they talk to you. Jesus is your brother, and God is your Father, it’s nothing deep, it’s as simple as that. How would you communicate with your brother who you love and loves you? How would you communicate with your father who you love and loves you? Same thing. Call them up for advice, just to see how they’re doing, tell them what you need, tell them what you’d like for someone else. They tell you what to do, and you obey, simple things folks.

People confuse commandments from God as do’s and don’ts but it’s not like that. God is our Father and wants the best for us, just like any GOOD parent would. I gotta say good because many of us didn’t have good parents. So just like a good mother would tell her daughter, don’t talk to no thug, he’ll beat you. God will say don’t talk to anyone unsaved, they’ll frustrate you. Don’t be mean to people because karma will make people be mean to you. Don’t fornicate (have pre-marital sex) because I don’t want you with baby daddy or baby momma drama. I also dont’ want you to get any disease. You see? Simple things. Any good parent will give you commandments (rules and laws) to protect you. You gotta know and understand that God wants us to have the best lives, so for all you who have strayed from religion… GOOD! Now come check Jesus out, I’m telling you, everything you want is over here.
