Response: Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word

Just giving my two cents on the video that has been sweeping youtube, found here:

Here is an awesome response video from another perspective:

HERE IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:
James 1:26-27
New International Version (NIV)
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

So true... Wow Specifics makes a difference. Yes it is a word play.

@zunefreakster Amen. I don't think many people know of the pure religion scripture. But I do like the poem, I know he s speaking of man-made religion and not the pure religion, which is not only teaching Christ, but living Christ.

I haven't seen the video, but a lot of people (Christians) are hoping on the #hatereligion bandwagon. A lot of people aren't being specific on what kind of religion, but I would assume that it's man made, which is legalistic and not of God. From James 1, I see it as James saying God loves it when we put our faith to work through love to save the broken and lost. Pure religion is living like Christ.
