wrong.......You would know Jesus Christ with or without Religion. Religion has little or anything to do with it.....Religion was made by man as a term and is used to control people....

Don’t forget, the POPE just declared that Babies are no longer in Limbo...:)) I just wonder if he made liaison with before he made that command decision. I wonder what the babies were doing before that. Can you imagine. Just this month in one instant, the Pope makes this declaration and all of a sudden, Babies are moving out of limbo....

The Holy Spirit could care less about Religion.........you don’t need religion to have communion with God.

Yes - it's all about fellowship with Our God, Our Father. Until one has that fellowship - they don't 'know' Him.

****** “wrong.......You would know Jesus Christ with or without Religion.”

How?

How would you know of Jesus Christ if not from the Bible or from a preacher of some sort?

****** “....Religion was made by man as a term and is used to control people....”

James says that Religion can be good... “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.” - James 1:27

****** “Don’t forget, the POPE just declared that Babies are no longer in Limbo...:”

It’s not my job to defend the Pope - but he was addressing a commonly held belief not the dogma of the RCC. (Catholics may correct me on this.)

****** “The Holy Spirit could care less about Religion.”

The Holy Spirit inspired James to write his epistle we referenced above.

****** “you don’t need religion to have communion with God.”

Religion:

1A. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
1B. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

Based on the above, which kind of religion are you referring to?
