Armor of God: Spiritual Warfare

Fr. Vincent Lampert: "I hear a growing trend today of people who, who say that, well, they don't need the church, they don't need religion, it's just Jesus. But I would suggest that we can't have Jesus without religion and without the church.

If we do, we have a Jesus of our own making and not Jesus for who He truly is. You think of Peter's profession of faith at Caesarea, Philippi, where he says, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus says, well, blessed are you, you know, Simon bar-Jonah, because no one has revealed this to you except My Father in heaven.

So it's the recognition, it's not what we define, it's how God is defining and for us to come to that knowledge of who God is. But I think there's a danger when we start recreating God in our image rather than recognizing that we are created in the image and likeness of God.

Because if we want to recreate God, then we can justify just about anything that we want."

This is so crucial to emphasize. Today due to the lack of authority in the Church, everyone wants to have its own version of Christ. That is paving the way for the Antichrist’s deception.

So well stated.. the enemy wants to diminish the importance of gathering because as long as the sheep separates, then it's easier for him to attack! And no, religion isn't the problem, but it's a matter of practicing the correct religion, Christ's! ✝️

I personally believe it’s pride rearing its ugly mug into people’s minds preventing them from submitting to an institution established by Christ so the breaks occurred over time because each leader of a new group couldn’t accept some development of the Christian faith led by the Catholic Church. Someone always has to have an objection to anything beyond their understanding and refuse to study it or research it.

The Church is the "fulness" of Christ (Eph 1:22-23) ... ie, the Catholic Church.

Not sure I agree with this. Can’t have Jesus without religion or the church? What about people in other countries who can’t openly congregate but have a secret Bible? Also, Jesus said, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to be seen, when you pray go to your room and close the door. But, I also agree church does make me feel better and coming together for Jesus is a good thing. Perhaps a balance is best.

I often come across Protestants who say that.

You can't separate Jesus from His Church and you can't separate the people from the Church without separation from Jesus. The Church is the Bride and Body of Christ.

“Where two or three gather in My Name I am there also” John 19: Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” Matthew 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Jesus had alot to say on the matter. Christ should come first and foremost. I know far too many Christians that haven’t even opened a Bible much less read it. First understand The Scriptures so you are informed on whether your church is blind leading the blind or bible preaching. Even as a Catholic not all dioceses are equal Your Cathedral isn’t offering the blood of Christ in communion with the excuse of a disease years gone? Probably need another. You will not know scripture listening to one passage a week and hoping it is relevant, or disregarding it because you think it isn’t.

Most organized relgions fail to recognize that the temple of god is within all of us. We are the bridge between heaven and earth. We carry the spirit that lives eternally. Instead they limit and make exclusive the power of god. God is inclusive and without boundaries of definition. Church is people and the religion of jesus was jewish. Show me a church that celebrates these truths.

Religion has for root the Latin Religare which means relationship. We're in a proved and true relationship with God through religion. Or else, no one dares assume the countless miracles that occurred and still occur not to be the work of the Holy Spirit.

If you have the bible Then you have the word Which is jesus It says the church is the people Not the buildings and alters of gold. Does the lord really care of your offerings of money Or does he care more of the offering of your soul The church is the people Because as instructed by the lord What you do onto others, you would have done onto me. Care for one another and give glory abd praise to the lord

Individual interpretation of the Bible leads to division. Let us worship Jesus the way He teaches us not just by the way we want.
