“religion is both a snare and truth.”
Religion can’t be truth. Truth is a persona. When we die do we take religion with us? No. Religion is temporal, it only exists in the carnal world of man’s devices.
Dark to Light. What does it mean?
If men participate in the evil of man’s carnal and natural system then they get judged by that same natural system. The wicked are not acquitted. But forgiveness and changing of the heart happens on a spiritual, invisible level. The wrath of God is the revealing of his nature to the man that follows evil, and this wrath of God doesn’t destroy the man, it destroys the evil in that man. Love destroys hate. Patience destroys impatience. Kindness destroys unkindness. It’s a present tense progressive change in each of us. Dark to light.
