I think that religiously loving God has to take form or it's just words.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599845232419335541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405673966162439113.post-80016677255279440882010-04-07T15:00:51.108-07:002010-04-07T15:00:51.108-07:00what i'm saying is that Christianity is a reli...what i'm saying is that Christianity is a religion, a religion that is hopefully carried out based on an intimate relationship with a divine being (God). it is a religion based on these words: "If you love Me, then obey my commands (instruction/directions)." this blog is in response to the teaching within the Church of "religion vs. relationship" and church goers who regularly claim that they aren't religious. it is not a "vs." situation and the fact that church goers attend church automatically makes them religious. it's like the song by the band the Killers... "are we human or are we dancers?" they're trying to make a point, but dancers are human & some humans are dancers;)<br />i just wanted to lay it out plain...

Structure and ritual is not bad in and of itself...but when the rituals and habits are unhealthy...then we have a problem. Healthy rituals (habits) and structures (like "look after orphans and widows") is exactly what God desires.Swodeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02655586309872618894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405673966162439113.post-73716693048487553052010-04-07T11:07:21.483-07:002010-04-07T11:07:21.483-07:00I think that we have to be careful not to be stuck...I think that we have to be careful not to be stuck thinking its ok to just go with the flow of things, like religiously doing things just because we are christian and suppose to do things to define us. We as christains should live our lives wanting to glorify God in everything we do. :) I least thats what i think when talking about the difference between have a "religion" or "relationship" with God. If this is somthing you are not talking about, my bad. :)M.H.
