James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (NIV)

That is what the all people should realize. I believe how your care for orphans and the widows shows what kind of person you really are

Ok, "caring for widows and orphans" is a matter of human compassion. People can have plenty of that without religion, and vice-versa (Oh yeah).

So really, what has religion got to do with it at all? I truly don't get the connection.

I know some really nice people who do not believe in God so can I expect them to be in heaven too?

What, just 4 little anemic posts (no offense friends) on this most important of topics??? With all the zealots on this forum I thought for sure we'd hear more opinions on what "true religion" is.

I'm wondering, did JC make his triumphant return, and I just didn't hear about it? .... is that where everyone went?

What it boils down to is--just who the blazes does this fellow human being think he is for such arrogance as to announce that he's somehow the authority on what any true religion is?

It strikes me as kinda vain that someone could claim to know what true religion is all about. Thats kinda like saying you understand the nature of God. I always thought of both concepts as things we could and should strive for without ever expecting to reach them.

If you claim to really understand God, then I think you need to seriously think about what you are saying.

I quoted Scripture as to what true religion was, I did not claim to be an expert just giving what the Holy Spirit Inspired over two thousand years ago.

People, please
