I woke up this gods morning and just wondered about this thread and how its name fits into evangelical theology.
Do not evangelicans like to state often enough that they are not religious, dont fell part of a "religion", but have a personal relationship wit Jesus instead.
But that says logically that all "religions" are false and the word "false religion" would be obsolete since in that theological view the word "religion" in itself woud stand for falsety like devil stands for evil.
On the other hand: If someone states that he has nothing to do with any religion that could get him dangerously near in the nearness of atheism, and I presume an evangelical could not stand that.
What do you say?
Ex 20:4-5 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; <--- That includes Mary
