Sin and Guilt = Religion

Robert Pate View Post
It was Satan's plan from the beginning to make Adam and Eve sinful and guilty so that they would become religious. After Adam and Eve had sinned the scripture says that their eyes were opened and they knew that they were naked, Genesis 3:7. When they discovered that they were naked they sewed fig leaves together to hide their nakedness and themselves from the Lord. Religion does not brings people closer to the Lord, it actually drives them away from the Lord. After Adam and Eve had sinned they should have gone to the Lord and confessed that they had sinned, instead they tried to cover up their sinful condition with fig leaves and hiding themselves (religion).

Satan had successfully established the first church of the "Fig Leaves", a covering for sin. religion is a covering for sin. It does not really deal with man's sin problem, it just hides it with works and piety, which are fig leaves...

There is religion that is meaningful and religion that is vain.

"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" (James 1:27).

The Tower of Babel was built on half truths. No one would have help Robert Nimrod Pate without first asking Mr. Religion for permission.
