-OBJECTION: “Religion is a man-made creation meant to control. I don’t believe in organized religion.”
-RESPONSE: “No doubt, some religion is completely man-made…perhaps with the intent to control. However, man-made religion typically lacks this one element: true holiness. It also typically possesses another element: a works-based system of righteousness.
Biblical Christianity has a true holiness (God is not like man and is utter purity) and a righteousness based on faith—not achievement—in Christ alone. Besides, if you wanted to create a religion for selfish reasons, you wouldn’t do so the way Christianity was formed. Most of the early apostles were hunted and killed in rather gruesome ways for their faith. The only one reportedly not martyred was imprisoned on an island (John). Not exactly how you’d start something if you simply wished to control people or didn’t believe what you were teaching was real!”
