Any religion that cannot move beyond “we’re bad, God gets mad” is unworthy of devotion. Imagine a world in which a law was unnecessary. What would have to happen to humanity for that to be possible? We would have to become like God. Judaism will always require a law (and Jews bend over backwards trying to find loopholes to that law). Eastern religions teach you can grow beyond the need of a law, but your individuality will be obliterated in the process. Only Christianity teaches that we can grow beyond the need of a law while still maintaining our identities. How? God becomes like us so that we can become like Him. We become little gods.

What is Christian Worship? (Video)
Sitting in a church, singing a few songs, and listening to some guy talk for 50 minutes — is that worship? Standing in a church silently and watching a bunch of priests do some stuff — is that worship? Gathering in someone’s home and singing songs and discussing scripture — is that worship? Sacrificing animals — is that worship?
