Transcript why i hate religion

Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. He looked down and said I want, that, man. Which is why Jesus hated religion, and for it he called them fools.

Now let me clarify, I love the church, I love the bible, and yes I believe in sin. But if Jesus came to your church would they actually let him in. See remember he was called a glutton, and a drunkard by religious men. But the son of God never supports self righteousness not now, not then. Now back to the point, one thing is vital to mention.

I believe in participating in sacred traditions that have a whole lot more integrity than anything I could come up with myself. I believe I need someone else to proclaim the forgiveness of sins to me because I cannot create that for myself. I believe that Jesus is truly present in the breaking of the bread and that where 2 or more are gathered he is there.

May God make us worthy of it all. Bethke, a Tacoma, Wa. I was in no way intending to do that The Church is Jesus' bride so be careful how you speak of His wife. If a normal dude has right to get pissed when you bash His wife, it makes me tremble to think how great the weight is when we do it to Jesus' wife. The church is His vehicle to reach a lost word.
