Was Christianity initially a religion?

The followers of the Messiah…(Jesus was a JEW- this is a HISTORICAL FACT) first called themselves ” the WAY”. It was a path initiated by the Rabbi who taught them that He “was the WAY, the Truth and the LIFE”.

If we think about this, we realize that the Messiah was not sent to create another religion in the world. He was sent to make a way to escape from religion. RELIGION seeks to bind people like the cloth that bound Lazarus as he lay dead in the tomb. But Jesus awoke him from the sleep of death and commanded that the cloth that bound him to be removed.

Why do we seek the “Living among the dead” were the words spoken to Mary, Jesus’s disciple. Today why have we incorporated the Lord in the dead clothing of religion.

Denominations and demon-nations are meant to bind us to rituals and sacrifices. God is seeking a people who will worship in “Spirit and in truth”. Come out from among them and be a Holy People.

Those who hear God are not themselves slaves of a religion. They are the slaves of Almighty God.

Forsake the love of fame, the love of self, money, the adulation of people and the things that separate you from the reality of LOVING the LORD GOD with all that is within.
