| | ARE YOU FOLLOWING JESUS...OR THE CHURCH?
Jesus is in the living room, Paul is in the kitchen, you're on the front porch and you want to know what you must do to get to Heaven. Would you walk past Jesus to go ask Paul what you must do to get to Heaven? No? Then why have you allowed your church to walk you past Jesus to Paul? The bible is so arranged by God that to get to the words of Paul, you must go past the words of Jesus!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW CAN THERE BE A MIDDLEMAN IN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP?
Your Pastor/church, (claiming God sent them to preach the gospel), is standing between you and Jesus; telling you about Jesus and what Jesus wants from you. Yet Jesus says you must have a personal relationship with Him.
In a personal relationship with Jesus; wouldn't Jesus be the one telling you what Jesus wants?
