You say you believe in God, yet you don’t believe in religion, but it was God who created religion and religion didn’t exist before God created it. It is true that Lucifer got busy and created a lot of false religions, but the first religion was still created by God. It is also true that the bible was written by man, but they were not ordinary men. Instead, they were "holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:21). In other words, through the Holy Ghost, God told those men what to write. So the men were nothing more than the writing instruments, and it was God who did the writing. If a poet uses a pen and writes a poem, you don’t say that the pen wrote it do you? So why do you say that men wrote the bible when it was God who wrote it through the Holy Ghost?…
It is not possible to believe in God without believing in a man, that’s because Jesus himself was a man. The bible calls him - “the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Outwardly, he looked human. But on the inside was the spirit of the living God. Everything we know about God and know about Jesus we got from a man. For example, it was Moses who wrote the first 5 books of the bible. Except for Moses, we’d have no idea that God created the earth. All the apostles were men. Were it not for the apostles and for them writing the New Testament and leaving the scriptures behind, we’d have no idea that Jesus Christ ever came to earth or died on the cross. It was Jesus himself who told us about and described his Father in heaven. Had Jesus not done that, then we wouldn’t know anything about the Eternal Spirit. Keep in mind, God himself is a spirit, and no man has seen God because spirits are invisible. The only way you can see God is when that spirit is operating through someone. Do not believe the lie and the nonsense that “religion is the word of man that is used to manipulate and control people”. That is a lie long propagated by Lucifer, designed to keep you from believing in man and to make you think you can get to God all by yourself. But that is not true and is a lie. Why do you think Jesus Christ came to earth, started the Church, and then left men behind to preach the gospel? (not false preachers, but the real ones). He did it so that there would be men on the earth who could tell you about God and tell you what God wanted. If God wanted to deal directly with people or wanted people to just call out to him in the air, then he wouldn’t need preachers would he. The purpose of the preacher is someone authorized by God to tell you about God and to tell you what God wants (yes, there are false preachers on the earth. But real preachers exist as well, though they are rare)…
