[citation][nom]CoryInJapan[/nom]ok those are no Christians..u dont need a mediator to talk to god...u can talk to him through jesus christ..and as a christian myself...I dont need no one telling me if Facebook is ok or not. Wake up people..organized religion defeats the purpose of Christianity..its to be like christ..love one another..and live the life that god would want you to...everyday..not just on Sundays."Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."james 1:27[/citation]
Are you sure you're a Christian? Organized religion defeats the purpose? Keep in mind, Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew (Organized Religion). He was the "King of the Jews". Christians, quite frankly, are followers of Jesus Christ (a Jew). Jesus did not come to get rid of Judaism, but came to turn it into it's proper form.
Also, have you EVER studied the early Christians? Ever heard of "house churches"? When Christians were being killed by the Romans, they hid in groups and secretly held church in people's homes. And quite frankly, if "organized religion" was not intended, why then do we have the New Testament? Yes! In fact, if you read it you'll realize it's mostly made up of letters the Apostles wrote to *GASP* Churches!! Holy cow, you mean they had organized places of worship while Jesus' disciples were alive?? OH EM GEE!!
