It's not a religion but a relationship

Christianity is not a religion in the way most of us define religion. There is a set of principles to live by. A place to gather and worship. And a level of organization that would seem to make it no different than any other religion in the world just another sistems of beliefs that are blindly followed by the masses that proffess to be Christains.

The reality is that at the core of christianity is not a building or a coad of conduct or even the bible itself, it is a relationship with the one true God that lasts on into eternity and at it's very best that relationship defines all that one who claims to be a Christain is. All the rest is an outward exspretion of that relationship and any thing short of that is simply not Christainity.

The most unsetleing thing about this reality is that most of those who gather on Sunday or atleast from my exspierence miss the true reason that the church they worship in even exists in the first place or even the point of the bible itself. The bible itself is not the core but the guild and all that the Lord put into our hands as suficent as to know Him. The bible is not to be worshiped but studied so that the relationship can grow in depth through understanding.

Christianity is not at all a religion but a relationship any other description misses the point to the detriment of both the one holding the belife and any it is shared with.
