All Religions are a Hoax. God has ALREADY Reconciled us and the World unto Himself

So is following the teachings and example of the Christ not being religious?

Are you really saying all religions are wrong? What of the faith you profess? Is it not causal of religious actions or works?

What of scriptures that teach us that the faith of even those steeped in doctrinal error is still counted as righteousness?

What of scripture that teaches that the differences in faith are like the different branches of the same tree, and all the blocks that make up the structure are still supported by the cornerstone?

I do get what you are saying, but are we to break the cracked vessel, making it useless, or are we to let it be used to its current capacity though it may not be the best or most efficient?

Romans: 11. 18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31. Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 33. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? 35. Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Paul said, "The just Shall Live By Faith" Romans 1:17. Living by faith does not mean following rules, laws or religion. Nor does it include trying to please God by your works. The only thing that pleases God is faith, mainly faith in his Son Jesus Christ. If it isn't of faith, then it is sin. Religion does not increase ones faith in Christ. Religion increases one's faith in themselves, who is a sinner.

What happened in Acts 2 gave birth to the New Testament church. Things were never the same in Jerusalem after Acts 2. Why don't you try reading about it? Thousands of Jews became Christians, Acts 2:41 also Acts 4:4.

What happened the day of the Resurrection gave birth to the salvation. Every event after that has only pointed back to it. To Christ being the Christ.

As for setting up the Church, one need look no further than Matthew 16 (You are Peter, and upon this rock I build my Church). Every action and encounter, post resurrection, is a solidifying of this Church.

No one really understood the resurrection until Acts 2.

"Therefore let all of the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made that same Jesus whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ" Acts 2:36.

This was revealed to the Jews on the day of Pentecost by the Holy Spirit.

This cannot be true, as demonstrated by Christ appearing to the apostles at least three times, as mentioned in the Gospels.
