WHAT IS PURE RELIGION?

I read with disbelief in today's Sun daily here the three men and nine women in their 20s and 40s were also given counselling by JAIS officers. For crying out loud they need aid not couselling.If someone is dying of hunger you don't counsel them you take care of his hunger first la moron.

The following text explain it clearly.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

(James 2:14-17)

They are so consumed by the religion but the missed the whole point. Want to know what true and pure religion is?

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world < James 1:27>

I am invoved in an orphange in klang, and part of the programe was to provide aids to some poor families in klang, regardess of their race or religion. The orphange gave out foodstuff items received from goodwill of people and some charity organisation. This is part of their external programe. When ever there was any fuction like movie or party orgarnised by clubs or the mall their children will join the orphange children .There was no issues at all.

Then there was another case, where food stuff was also given to the widow of one of my muslim colleage in my previous company. I saw the need and made the recommendation to the home and the board approved it.There was no hidden agenda. So I just don't understand all the fuss when people help another malaysian and they make all kinds of accusation. If they had provided the necessary help in the first place, they would not have gone to the church for help right?

And when they do, why must they link everything to religion and politic? Something must be done if we want to be truly 1Malaysian.
