RELIGION IS NOT WHAT GOD WANTED
Religion in the world with all its various doctrines and denominations and gods is not what God had in mind. Actually, His intent when he chose Israel was to demolish all the existing religious structures that exist in the World of Religion at that time and replace them with a people that worshiped him in spirit and truth. That is why he settled Israel in a Promised Land that was currently occupied by Religious Enemies, Adversaries and Oppressors who occupied religious Cities, Kingdoms and Nations. God’s plan was to evangelize these pagan nations through a Godly nation (i.e. Israel) that represented his name (i.e.character).
God’s biggest problem in accomplishing that goal is that the people (Israel and Christians) he has chosen to do the work of demolishing existing religious structures have been deceived by religion. They have slipped into Biblical disobedience by following the customs of other religions and have and been busy creating a plethora of new religions that all call themselves Christian or Jewish. Each sect has its own unique doctrines and liturgies. Instead of consolidating the world’s religions into one spiritual nation as God intended, they have been busy dividing themselves into a multitude of different religious nations with unique names and practices.
None of this is what God wants. It is a system that thrives on partiality and favoritism — not mutual love, respect and unity that transcends religious affiliations.
