Religion has nothing to do with relationship or the revelation knowledge of GOD in Christ JESUS, for it was the self-righteous religious hypocrites who persecuted JESUS, crucified JESUS, killed JESUS, and did the same things to his holy prophets, apostles, and disciples.
And they did all these great abominations in the name of worthless religion.
JESUS SAYS, he did not come for the self-righteous, he came that sinners might be saved.
For worthless religion never did anything for anyone, except persecute the truth, and plot to kill the truth, because there is no religious lie of the absolute truth/JESUS.
And the real demons are right in those buildings you call church, playing church, and playing religion.
(Matthew 26:1-4) And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
You know that after two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
(Luke 4:28-32) And all they in the church synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
(Matthew 23:27-39) JESUS SAYS, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you are like unto whited tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Wherefore you be witnesses unto yourselves, that you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, you shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
