What purpose do religious institutions serve?

 

Our world has diverse ethnic, cultural, geographic, and economic divisions which challenge man's abilities to uphold equality, human rights, dignity and justice.  Man uses religion to respond to justice and equality for himself and others.  But religion itself is the breeding ground for much of the injustice and conflicts, tyrannical leaders exploit deep seated hatred and prejudices to pit cultures and people against each other for their own self interest.  Many people live according to a religion called science and intelligence who believe that mankind evolved from monkeys and therefore has no purpose on earth outside of his continued existence on the planet.  Man's institutions serve the instant gratification of man's immediate needs here's the breakdown.

Religion offeres mankind a way to define himself, his G-d, his surroundings, and everything else.  Religion supplies the answers, it also only asks itself its own questions so it can supply its own answers.  All religion is man's own reflection of himself.  Religion is the "Nature of Things" because man sees his own nature by how he is lead by his spirit.  In Canada there is a television program called the Nature of Things that is headed up by an evolutionist who mirrors his personal ideas of his own destiny upon the rest of the population, and this individual has a large following of his own ideas and they refer to their body of opinions somewhat as "intelligence."  Everything in the Nature of Things is "scientific" however it is simply another outlet of propaganda that supports the religion of evolution and man as the measure of all things.

 

All religion markets itself as having all or most of the answers, according to it's own questions.  But once we ask questions that are not generally asked within each religion, that religion rejects us.  Asking questions outside the religious consciousness of that religion produces a "black hole" or a "dead spot" where the thoughts of that religion are not permitted to go.

 

Religion controls all thoughts about G-d, Justice, Equality, the environment and all spiritual and human needs according to it's leadership and intellectual property.  Religion has no "spiritual capabilities" of it's own, it borrows "spiritual" connection from one of two sources.  Mashiyach or anti-Mashiyach.  The pride of man will never allow him concede to being misinformed or deceived, pride itself is anti-Mashiyach.  The pride of man is the basis of all religion.

 

So why then are people so adamant to be part of a religion, instead being adamant to belonging to YHWH and each other?

Why is religion more important than the common good, equality and justice?

Why is religion given credit for the common good if it is often the barrier to bringing equality and the common good?

Why do people need to be part of a religion to have a relationship with G-d or to respect their own environment?

Why do most feel they must join a religion to get to know about YHWH and learn to do His will?

How did man learn about YHWH before religion existed?

Where did religion come from?

What did people do before religion existed?

How did man learn about YHWH before religion existed?

How does YHWH teach mankind about Himself?

 

     Here are some words by one person who chose to do battle against religion:

 

1 Corinthians 1:10-13  "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Master Y'shua Mashiyach, that you all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it is clear, my brethren, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of this religion or of that; and I am of this sect, or that; I a Jew; and I a Believer; and I a Christian; and I a Messianic.  Is Mashiyach divided?

 

1 Corinthians 3:1-4  " And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Mashiyach. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able. For you are yet carnal: for there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?  For while one says, I am of this and another of that; are you not carnal?

 

Ephesians 4:1-8  "I therefore, a prisoner of the Master, charge you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called,  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in ONE HOPE of your calling; ONE KING, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE ELOHIM and FATHER of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Mashiyach. Wherefore he says, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." 

 

Paul is credited for launching Christianity, the worlds largest religion, but it is obvious that Paul neither started Christianity nor would he endorse it today.  Paul would not even recognize Christianity as it is known today, and yet most Christians use Paul and his writings to validate their religion.  Christianity has evolved over the last 2,000 years to become unrecognizable by First Century standards, according to an Encyclopedia of World Relgions there are 33,800 Christian denominations on earth today.

 

The Faith of Y'shua was originally referred to as the Way, Y'shua being the Way, the Truth and the Life.  The Way of Y'shua had no idols, no figurines of men, no images of angels propped up in churches, in fact there were no churches in Paul's day the first church wasn't even built until 190 AD, and it was built by a money lusting heretic named Marcion, the One True Faith had no regard for religion, there was no pagan celebrations as Christmas or Easter, no Lent, no denominations, no political, economic, ethnic or cultural divisions, these were added by man's ideas about G-d, according to religion.

 

When HaMashiyach returns, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, or Judaism, and all religions will cease, He will not accomplish some great syncretism and pat them all on the back, because they are all in fierce opposition to Universal Justice and Equality.  There will be no more oppression on earth between religious factions.  Religion is at war with haMashiyach, religion is the Nature of Things, Man's Nature of Things.  Those with the best of intentions and ambitions will either learn what the Prophet Jeremiah referred to as the "Ancient Path"  or they will perish by having made religion an idol which they put before the value of their own life and destiny, preferring pride and prejudice over humility and acceptance of their own freedom.

 

The Ancient Path is:

 

ONE YHWH

ONE TORAH

ONE KINGDOM

ONE MASHIYACH

ONE PEOPLE

 

The greatest stumbling block to the Kingdom of Mashiyach are the institutions and religious leaders who fail to see the Kingdom of Mashiyach as Universal to all souls according to One Spiritual and perfect charter.  Those who elevate their intelligence and theology or halakhic authority by their traditions are all enjoying the authority given them through religious hierarchy, they will not relent, but use authority to "lord it over" others.  Unfortunately the religious systems of men inadvertently speak against the Kingdom of Mashiyach, their leaders make war against YHWH and His Mashiyach to the bitter end because they would rather commit suicide driven by pride than seek humility driven my service to YHWH and His Mashiyach.

 

"Therefore YHWH will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.  For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.  Therefore YHWH shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly.  For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.  For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.  Through the wrath of YHWH of Hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.  And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:  Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah.  For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still."  Isaiah 9:16-21

 

"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. 

And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." 

Matthew 15:14

 

"Because my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;  To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passes there shall be astonished, and wag his head.  I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity." 

 Jeremiah 18:15-17

 

Religion is full of good intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.  Religion is Babylon, the people of YHWH will come out of Babylon and separate themselves from man's hierarchies.

 

Let Elohim be true and every man a liar.  Religion is the enemy that will continue to stand in defiance to YHWH until such time as it will come down to a very physical war between YHWH Elohim and His enemies.  The Word of YHWH says,

 

 "come out of Her my people and don't partake in her sins" 

Revelations 18:4

 

YHWH be with you,

Shalom U'Vrachot,

 

Baruch Ben Daniel
