Religious piety is not God the Spirit. Religion is only a frame that holds a picture. The picture ought to be the Living Almighty and Sovereign over all of His creation God, but religious piety made Him just a god.
Religion binds. God frees us. Religion defines, God defines nothing for He is timeless and boundless. Religion repeats itself. In the Living God there is always something new and refreshing.
God is in the business of liberating. Man is in the business of binding. Beliefs are not self-made but of the God kind and then deposited into us His temples. Therefore, when a belief is fruitless e.g., does not produce the expected fruit, then it is only religious, but when that belief produces results then it is God's gift.
Unless we get converted and become like children we shall only stay religious licking this pious self-suiting syrupy substance. Like an Eunuch who's lost his manhood so can religion be, which supposed to hold the living picture, but instead it only thickens the elaborate frame.
