Religious people want to keep you bound by rules and regulations that have nothing to do with Loving God. Today Denotations have added their rules to the top 10 and expect all to obey them. They are so into to memorizing the rules that they miss the that the heart has to be right with God for them even to understand the things of His Kingdom. We need to be devoted to God not a man made institution.

Scribes and Pharisees:
5 Why don’t Your disciples follow the traditions passed down to us? Why do they eat their bread with defiled hands?

Jesus:
6 Isaiah prophesied wisely about your religious pretensions when he wrote,
These people honor Me with words off their lips;meanwhile their hearts are far from Me.
7 Their worship is empty, void of true devotion.They teach a human commandment, memorized and practiced by rote.
8 When you cling blindly to your own traditions [such as washing utensils and cups], you completely miss God’s command.
9 Then, indeed, you have perfected setting aside God’s commands for the sake of your tradition.
10 Moses gave you God’s commandment: “Honor your father and your mother."And also, “If you curse your father or your mother, you will be put to death.”
11 But you say to your aged parents, “I’ve decided that the support you were expecting from me will now be the holy offering set aside for God.”
12 After that he is not allowed to do anything for his parents.
13 Do you think God wants you to honor your traditions that you have passed down? This is only one of many places where you are blind.
14 (to the crowd that had gathered) Listen, all of you, to this teaching. I want you to understand.
15 There is nothing outside someone that can corrupt him. Only the things that come out of a person can corrupt him.
16 All who have ears to hear, let them listen.
Mark 7: 5-16 The Voice Bible.
 
verse 13 is a punch. I'm accepting it the way it is, because I trust in the Lord, people are not really repentant.the religious ones. Remember all the miracles that were done, and the Lord walked right in their town. People saw with their eyes, but yes they were blinded. My Aunt was very religious, seemed to point out every one's fault, and church was like the place of the Son Jesus. On her death bed, she cursed people, from her lips, called them names, and talked about things that were done over 20 years ago. Religion will do this, even on the last breath, there is no repentance. I don't know what happened *in her thoughts about a month, when I visited her, but I prayed that the Lord would take her out of any pain. Religion isn't God's plan. THat was not his plan, for her to die in a nursing home, when her son was very wealthy, and could of had a nurse come in her home, to care for her, her windows were boarded up. REligion is not God's perfect will, it is own will, decisions God always let man make, and the consequences with it.
 
I always wanted to ask this quesion, but found the answer to it. How could a minister who's just a man tell other's what to do, it is clearly saying that there is no HOly Spirit in believers, that he does not talk to us, and were to only obey and listen to a man. This is denying the work of the HOly spirit, the death, and ressurection of the Lord. No man is wronge in his actions, and decisions, if guided by the Lord, who dwells within us. If we are wrong, he convicts us, with tender mercys, not condemnations. No man could tell others what to do, he could tell his wife, but that's about it, we each, are bethroed, and married to the Lord, in our spirit. He is my husband, and I listen to him only. So where do people get this idea that they can tell other's what to do, and deny the works of the HOly Spirit within them, this is destructive, and destructive of self confidence in the Lord. Jesus destroyed the temple once, that was built with human hands, and said, there shall not one rock be not unturned, and said, he would be raised up, in 3 days.
Those words never ended, every place, that is standing not upon the foundation of Christ, will be overturned, and destroyed, until people realize that he is the temple that dwells within us. Wolves in sheep's clothing, the Lord said, BEWARE of them.
 
:KNow ye not that your body is the temple of the HOly Spirit." bible verse, He dwells within us. *Giving out bread, or breaking of bread to be feed, is one thing, but to take the place of the HOly Spirit, and take man's*confidence, and trust away, is evil, and is not of God. I'm done now. If a mans conscience does not condemn him blessed is he, because he trusts in his God, and is free to make decisions, with the correction of the HOly Spirit within him. This is freedom, in Christ.
 
Each Believer has free Will. No one can make them do anything. How ever God has placed His Spirit inside all of us. Like Spirits will know each other. Spirit Filled Christians will recognize another Spirit Filled Christian. Some Times God will place a revelation word inside a specific person and it is that persons duty to share that Word with others, but that person can never force anyone to Believe that Word. Your Spirit will know and bear witness to that persons God placed Spirit.
