#TheStrokeZone Are you religious or spiritual like me?

RELIGIOUS VERSUS SPIRITUAL

Since to me there's such a night and day difference between religion and spirituality, I thought that I would share with you how I see the vast difference between religion and spirituality.

Let's start with Religion
I think the root word describes religion well!

Religion's root word is Ritual. 

Man builds religion to create a false spiritual security that make man feel justified before God.

Religion is man doing a certain act or "ritual" that he teaches other men that if you do these specific acts or say's a certain things, it will trigger a certain spiritual response! 

False! Lie! God doesn't work that way! God is not your Genie religious man!

Spiritual 
is a man who has a real living relationship with God the creator of heaven and earth. Unlike religious works, being a Spiritual person is alive with the very energy God created and who God is! 

You see, man can do absolutely nothing (rituals) to trigger the spiritual realm. He only deceives his own self thinking he's being spiritual when he's really not!

The rituals man creates to make himself feel better is really hollow, dead, void of all life.

Having an exterior form of Godliness but not having the living, powerful and alive relationship God longs to have with you his creation.

You need to know my fellow man on planet earth that the one that created you, wants to have a close intimate relationship with you his creation!

Religion of men depicts God sitting on a cloud, holding a handful of lightning bolts waiting for a man to step out of line so God can rain down fire and brimstone from heaven on him.

Man creates this fear of God to control other men! 

Why do think man depicts God so non loving?

#1 Reason in my opinion. 
To control a man.

Because man's religion is so steeped in fear. Why? Because if  the "church" (not God) can make another man afraid and live in fear of God he removes the love of God. 
Religion removes the ability of that man to have the close, loving and powerful relationship God actually wants with mankind.

Religion, through this fear, actually separates man from God.

I mean can one believe a man wants to have a close relationship with a God he's afraid of? No! Who would?

The absolute truth that I have come to know through stroke.

The God, creator of you the heavens and earth loves you with an unconditional love!

He is always for you and never against you!

God is not angry at the majority of his creation (mankind) has turned away from him. No! On the contrary, it breaks his heart and makes God very sad.

You see the real truth is God loves you no matter what you do! God is for you not against you! God wants you to prosper and thrive!

You are his beloved creation!
