>>On middle age, when Martin Lutero was opposed to the Roman church.. The main reason for the split was the Romans has self proclaimed, with his tradition with the 'same power' of Bible.. Was a time when the Pope, his bishops, fathers, etc.. Has a full influence on political subjects on that society.. And, all of his decisions wasn't support by the bible.. So, they decide (by pope concil): the bible are only a book, and our (his) traditions are strongest..

No labels.. only a Jesus follower.. On my church we believed that religiosity is sinned..

So, we tried to live in God's grace only.. Looking for the mutual growth, following Jesus' word.. ONLY

How many atrocities were already done in the name "of religion" ? At this time the president of U.S. are killing people (his soldier also) "in the name of Jesus".. I affirm you for sure. . Never, never Jesus would sign any paper authorizing an army to do anything like that..

This is "the why" so many people in the world escape from God and linked stuffs.. Because usually inside of these subjects exist a tremendous will of showing superiority.. or a tremendous will of controlling the life "of the other".. And, in books as Bible there is only great knowledge for self-help..
