Why I Love Religion, And Love Jesus || Spoken Word

A response to the video "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus". The purpose of this video is to do a response from a Catholic perspective, in a spirit of love, but also with a spirit of passion to defend our Mother the Church. The things that are said are not meant to offend, but we do have to be direct about what we believe and what we stand for. Join the discussion at http://phatmass.com

Lyrics:
What if I told you that Jesus loves religion
And that by his coming as man he brought his religion to fruition
See this had to be addressed, the use of illogical terms and definitions
You clearly have a heart for Jesus but its fueling atheistic opinions
See what makes his religion great is not errors of wars and inquisitions
It's that broken men and women to participate in his mission
Clearly Jesus says I have not come to abolish
I came to fulfill the law and I came to fulfill the prophets (Matthew 5:17)
And lines about building big churches and tending to the poor
Sounds a bit like Judas when the perfume was being poured (John 12:5)
See His religion is the largest worldwide source of relief
For the poor, the hungry, the sick and repentant thief
Oceans of compassion, opening wide the doors
For single mothers, widows and orphans, married and divorced (James 1:27)
We all detest hypocrisy, and empty show is just the worst
But blaming religion for contradiction
Is like staring at death, and blaming the hearse.
See the teacher will teach when the students are ready to listen
But those that choose to sit in the pews and refuse the good news
Is not the fault of religion.
And If I have the Jersey and I'm playing for the Bulls
There's going to be some boundaries, regulations and some rules.
You can't have Christ without his Church; you can't have the King without his Kingdom
Sins of the Body and internal treason will never ever make me leave him
And that Jesus said it is done, is absolutely true
But he also gave us a mission with many things to DO.
Jesus says if you love me, you will Do what I command. (JN 15:14)
Go and Baptize in the name of the Father, Son & Spirit in Every Land. (MT 28:19)
And on the night he was betrayed he took his men in the Upper Room
Take at eat this is my body take and drink my blood for you.
A New covenant you see, an act connected to the tree,
Do this time and time again in Memory of Me. (Mt 26:26-28)
And at last with crown of thorns beaten beyond comprehension
His eyes were looking for yours and mine; it was divine, no human invention.
So as for religion I love it, I have one because Jesus rose from the dead and won.
I believe When Jesus said IT IS FINISHED, His religion had just begun.

1 Timothy 2:5

New Living Translation (NLT)

5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.

this verse exposes roman Catholicism.THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO CAN RECONCILE GOD AND HUMANITY AND THAT IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR YESHUA HA'MASHIAC,NOT MARY,NOR ANY OF THE SAINTS.

a lot of the paganism found in roman catholicism can be traced back to as far as nimrod and his whore of a wife.all paganism originated from the two

[phantom2k10]

you are a pagan and don't even know it.Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man.whilst Jesus was on earth he had a mother because he was human.Jesus recalled pre existing with the father before the earth was created.he never mentioned anything about having a heavenly mother.

did any of the disciples or apostles of Jesus call mary the mother of God?

if they did not then were are you getting your pagan information from.

[12timmyt]

We do not worship her, so that is a strawman argument.

We ask for her intercession just as like I can ask you to pray for me.

In the OT, just like with King David, the mother of the king was the queen, not the spouse. Jesus was the ultimate king, descended from King David making who the queen? Doesn't mean we worship her though.

Also she was the on human in all of existence to be chosen to be mother of God, spouse to the HS, and daughter of the Father.

She wasn't mother of God? Is Jesus not God?

[YY Shin]

how funny that you worship practices as your god instead of Jesus. Everyone pray so that their eyes may be opened, and the spirit moves in them so that they will declare Jesus lord.

[Clark E]

are all the comments on this video just people responding to other people's comments?

[Dom Martin]

Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ. In the Christian religion, Jesus christ is God, therefore Mary is the mother of God

[phantom2k10]

i didn't mean it like that.i meant for catholics to turn that into a prayer is paganism.angel gabriel brought the good tidings to mary,but did not bow down before her or worship her whilst doing so,so who made it alright to pray to mary?

Mary was obviously favoured by God,but she is not the queen of heaven or the mother of God.

[threatf0cus]

If Jesus loves religion why does Jesus call religious people who they r

[12timmyt]

Pagan prayer? It comes directly from the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke. This is how the angel Gabriel addressed Mary. Was Gabriel a pagan?

[12timmyt]

If Catholics are not Christians, do you suggest Christianity never existed until 15 centuries after Christ died? Did the Bible contain the "wrong" books for this long as well? Luther removed the 7 books in the 1500's. the Bible contained 73 books ever since the Church put it together a few centuries after Christ's life. "To become steeped in history is to cease to be Protestant."
