Pure religion
The Bible tells us that Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27
Religion was defined 200 years ago as “Real piety in practice[1], consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men” and it is simply how a nation, a people, or a society takes care of its needy and therefore serve the God or gods they have chosen for themselves.[2]
Over time Religion was redefined by men to mean what you think about a supreme being.
So which definition is correct. The word religion is mentioned five times in the Bible. Only once is it mentioned in a positive sense and we find that in James 1:27.
Religion is clearly how you take care of the needy of your society but what does it mean to be "unspotted from the world"?
What is Corban?
Who are the Nicolaitan?
Is the Welfare of the people of your society provided by force or by Charity?
