Jesus = Religion.wmv

When Jesus said "It is finished", He couldn't have been referring to the work of our salvation - this video explains why.

It also points out why Jesus IS religion.
In fact, Jesus is the only religion there is.

When you look at the very roots of the word "religion", you discover that the only thing which can be called a "religion" is Christianity. No other tradition fits the bill.

The roots of the word involve three ideas: the concept of an original Eden, the fact of a tragic and consequential Fall, and the healing of the brokenness caused by the Fall.

Since no other tradition contains all three of these concepts, no other tradition can be properly called a "religion." Only Christianity fits the bill.

English has just this one word to describe concepts relating to God because English, like all the other European languages, was invented by Christianity. Every modern European language was molded over the course of over a thousand years by Christian concepts and philosophy.

As a result, when an English speaking person wants to talk about God, the only word s/he can use is "religion." Christianity so thoroughly suffuses the English language that we have no other word to describe the God-man relationship.
