Religion a private matter, true or false?

If we fully embrace the idea that โ€œreligion should be private,โ€ we risk shutting down every effort to evangelize. Reflect for a moment: does this align with the will of God, or does it serve the designs of the devil?

Lesson:

Not every idea comes from God, even those that seem โ€œfairโ€ or appealing at first glance. The devil is a master of deception, as Scripture warns us:
โ€œAnd no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.โ€
(2 Corinthians 11:14)

Our Verdict: False

If this notion leads us to avoid publicly practicing our faith or sharing the Gospel, then we must reject itโ€”firmly but charitably. As followers of Christ, we are called to seek Godโ€™s will and carry it out as perfectly as possible, avoiding the temptation to dilute His truth with our own flawed reasoning.

After all, our ultimate goal is not the acceptance of men, but perfection in the eyes of God. Let us stand firm in our faith, always discerning truth from error, and carrying out our mission to make Christ known to the world.
