"I don't support ( at least blindly) any religion. Religions were founded by men.. and all men are flawed. even me. Religion is man thinking he can be hot shot enough to reach God. Christ is God reaching man. HUGE difference"
You don't believe much in or practice fellowship amongst Christ's redeemed ? When Paul was traveling to and fro in one accord with others sharing the common meal, it was with all eyes on Christ, helping each other to stay focused and accountable. Yes, 'religion' is man-made, originally I believe with good intentions that got twisted along the way, and one's relationship with the one true God is personal, yet also enhanced in like-mindedness with others. No man is an island in Christ; it's nowhere ever encouraged to be done alone accept of course in our personal encounters when we shut our door and cry out in private, not to be showy in front of men. In addition to these cherished moments, I've best keep on the straight and narrow in Him when encouraged by and encouraging others, like iron sharpening iron. If none of this is what you inferred with the simple statement "Christ is God reaching man", apologeeze.
