No these things didnt come from religion. God made us in his image and these are HIS traits. Religion is from man, God gave us his word to help understand who he is and what life is aboutJesus never said to the one thief on the cross, "you must get down and do "insert religious works here" and you will be saved. He told him because of his faith, today he would see him in paradise. The thief knew Jesus was the son of God and was dieing for his sins. . That we are sinners and need salvation, and we cant do it on our own. eg works. NOTHING you do can save you, He has paid the price you need to except it and only you can do this no one else can except it for you. |
"No these things didnt come from religion" then how were they conveyed from god to humanity?... i was under the assumption that that is what religion is for to convey god's rules or laws... i mean its not as if god himself communicates these laws if that were the case we wouldn't be having this discussion at all

Interesting point. Why doesn't he just tell us? It's been 2000 years since he last checked in, and even the best kept records will have started to fade by then. Clearly, we've gotten very confused over the whole thing, so if he could clear it up, that would be great.
Or is he testing us again? God sounds an awful lot like GLaDOS.

"even the best kept records will have started to fade by then" true how can christians be sure that they are following the word of god when their only tangible connection to his laws is a book that has been compiled by people

You've hit the nail on the head there. They can't. In fact, they can be pretty sure that they aren't. If, indeed, God even exists.
