Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
Most Christians preach all non-Christians are going to hell, but that's not what the Bible says even in The New Testament
7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God. Romans 2:7-11
No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. " For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Jeremiah 31:34
Preacher Extorts $10,000 from Me Then Sues Me for $1,250,000 for Complaining
I had a lying pastor seduce me, extort thousands of dollars from me and then sue me in Federal Court when I exposed him by buying his web domain and telling the story on the Internet. Imagine that: preacher lies, cheats and steals from me then sues me for complaining about it. During depositions for the trial, I asked the Judge to put all his mistresses on the witness stand in front of his family and congregation to describe their relationships with him in detail to determine whether or not he extorted money from them, too. He immediately dropped the court case.
I never got my money back, though, because by the time I learned I was a victim of fraud it was past the statue of limitations.
Moral of that story, men in high position given too much power become guilty of fraud and extortion. I think I'll make a movie about that one day. It took me a long time to trust God to deal with the evil in that man, but I finally realized that even the people we think are getting away with crimes will get their just due ... and it doesn't take the victims to make that happen.
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay.
In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them." Deuteronomy 32:35

Religions forbid homosexuals in church. Oh that's great. Why don't you just keep "the sinners" out of the churches.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Matthew 23:13
Catholics deny priests and nuns sex so they themselves become homosexual, but God said every man should have his own wife:
"But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." 1 Corinthians 7
They don't allow divorce, because they say it breaks God's law when God said we are free from the law and used the marriage law as the very example:
"So, my brothers, you also died to the law, that you might be married to Christ." Romans 7:4
Catholics, (commonly known as "The Guilt Religion") deny communion to divorcees whom they consider sinners. The very reason God said to give it to you is the reason they deny you. God said ...
"Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:27
Women are treated like 2nd hand citizens, especially the Baptists. Like many other religions and third world countries, they don't know the difference between sacrifice and abuse and require people to sacrifice not for the sake of the gospel for the sake of the selfishness of men. They are enablers and oppressors.
Jesus said, “if they had known what these words mean, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice,” they would not have condemned the innocent. Matthew 12:7 & 9:13
They say Halloween has evil roots in Satanism, but they celebrate that day, too, and call it Harvest.
You can speak in tongues all day long, but if that scares everyone out of your church, what's the point? The spirit-filled carelessly use the gifts of the spirit scaring the masses away and defeating The Great Commission.
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
The division amongt themselves is so great that the spirit-filled say Catholics are going to hell for praying (or talking to) the saints when they themselves spend all day binding (or talking to) the demons.
Let the buildings come down, the divisions,
the massive organized religions led by men,
and let the God of the world make His church in you.
"for the sake of his body, which is the church." Colossians 1:24
with love, not strangled interpretations of the law which is dead.
we have been released from the law Romans 7; are not under the law Romans 6:14;
all is permissible 1 Corin. 6:12 & 10:23); for Christ was the end of the law Romans 10:4 & Gal. 3:19
The Greatest Commandment
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40
Evolution Joins Creation:
Since God didn't make the planets
until the 4th day,
who's to say the first 3 days
weren't millions of years.

Matthew 23: Seven Woes to the Church
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5" Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'
8 "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.[b] 11 The greatest among you will be your servant. 12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.[c]
15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
16 "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.' 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'[d]"
