Another disception

The way I see it is; back when man disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden and ate the fruit of knowledge of ‘good and evil’, and decided he was perfectly able to conduct himself with this new-found knowledge, and decided he no longer needed a relationship with God, but could now trade it for this new found information and be like our Creator– then things went to hell. It was then, eating the fruit, that man received a dose of the falsehoods, imaginations, and fantasies that this world says it offers, it was a lie. The worldliness of the world is designed to feed itself with self, to look out for ‘ole number one’, but that doesn’t work either.
It wasn’t long after man traded his relationship with God, in the Garden, to gain his own independence, that rituals, superstitions, formulas, doctrines, and what we call religion to begin to take its hold on us. Yes, that is exactly what man did. After selling our relationship with the Father we then chose to follow our own devices, and then we had to invent our ways of reaching God. All this led to man building an empire, essentially to himself, and calling it a temple, a church, a shrine to show off our worthiness and intellect, and then think that that was pleasing to God, but what He wanted was His relationship back with us. We can have a relationship with God, or we can have one with the church, but when man tries to serve two masters he will love one and despise the other, or he will cling to one ignoring the other. That’s the way we’re built.
Having a relationship with a church is not remotely the same as having a relationship with God. But that is not what we’re taught. It was the same two thousand years ago as it is today. Man inventing silly rules, formulas, doctrines, and rituals and rites, seeming to show off his knowledge of God thinking it is on cue, but, it didn’t work back then and it won’t work now. Jesus turned over their money changers tables, disrupted their club house, and yelled that they were turning their so-called ‘place-of-God’ into a den of thieves. Many of this mind frame, this carnal fleshly attitude have stolen the Truth of what God wanted for His children.
We are all His children, not just those that ‘they’ say are.
