CR,
I find Manmade religion to be stone that is hard and inflexible.
I believe the Love of God to be liquid, fluid and able to flow where nothing else can.
I only cite James 1:27
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
(How else can we be blemishless before God, than to be covered by His unconditional Love? There is no other way.)
John 6:29
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
1 John 4:
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
If the voice of God is Love and the Spirit moves where it pleases, what other way can we Herat the Spirit speaking, than to listen for unconditional Love that is taught by He to we?
