The message of Brother Eli goes deeply in religion, why it matters, despite failures of so many religious leaders.
We explain that religion, got it from the words terzkia in Greek and religia in Latin, carries the idea of binding again,restoring our connection with God after humanity's separation from it. So that passage alone gives a powerful reminder that religion was never meant to be a business or a source of exploitation. But a path to the Creator.
Brother Eli speaks honestly about why many people reject religion. There are so many corruption, commercialization, and disappointment caused by false pastors. And yet, we bring these distinguishes that will walk away because of opposition from those who reject God entirely. A condition the scriptures describe as foolishness.
This explanation allows that not wanting a religion because of human abuse, but denying God is something that is more serious. The Bible is teaching us to worship, not the outward form, but institutions that misuse God's name.
Religion is not just about money or membership. It's about reconciliation with God and living according to the will of God always.
