2. Jesus dictated what we should and should not do, see, if we don't do as he says, we go to Hell, hence he is forcing ppl to join the movement.
There is only one sin that Jesus listed that would send you to Hell, and that's rejecting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Other sins will only bring death (Romans 6:23). Jesus didn't dictate anything to us. He gave us commands to be followed, and consequences for our actions, as a Father to his child. The difference is punishment is delivered in love and correction, not to intimidate or cause fear to bring others to submission.

To be a Christian and to accept & worship Christ is not a religion it's a decision. To become engrossed in denomination and loose the true meaning of whom you serve is religion.
