Love Thy Neighbor: When a Spirit of Religion Opposes the Heart of God

By: Aaron Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In John 17:20-21 Jesus prayed, "My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father--that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me." (NLT) The Christian church continues to find points of contingency by which they justify their divisions. Many do not realize that it is not the Spirit of God under which they operate, but a subtle counterfeit named Religion. The Spirit of Religion has been the greatest opposition of the Christian Church since its inception. It was the "religious" leaders of Jesus' day who were influenced by this spirit and continually sought to discredit Christ and his teachings. Those who were bound by this spirit sought to silence Christ, and eventually found cause to kill Him. This same spirit at work today continues to cause division, among Christians as well as between Christians and non-Christians. This book has been written to expose the evil influence that Satan has had upon the Christian church under the guise of religion and to release those who have been bound by religions chains by establishing a true relationship with God. Issues addressed in this book include: What is the Spirit of Religion?What is the difference between church doctrine and sin?Why do Christians judge? What does it mean to "be ye separate?"What does the Bible say about those who are Tattooed or Pierced?What is the difference between having a religion and experiencing a relationship with God? ....and much more.

Davis addresses a needed subject "Love Thy Neighbor..."

For those who have remained distant from God or Church because they have been‐-or expect that they would be--judged, this book sheds light on what the bible really says versus how many in the church have learned to respond to those who are "different." what I particularly liked about this book is its simplicity. It clearly lays out the framework for what the Bible says about how Christians are to treat others but it does not do it from a complex or deeply theological position. the periodic interjection of humor gives insight into the author's personality. overall, and enjoyable listen.
