What Does The Bible Say About Organized Religion

Matt 5:20

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

As the bible is a creation of mysticism one should use the known symbolic language of the mystics to interpret scripture.

Understanding Biblical Symbolism......

PHARISEES, AND SCRIBES
In mysticism pharisees and scribes are a symbol of official theology.

Within us Pharisees and Scribes are that part of our mind that clings to authority and tradition and is ready to dismiss any new truths that are present to them.

Basically Matt 5:20 says unless you outgrow official theology (your religion) you will not enter into heaven. Your righteousness (your knowledge of what is right) must be greater than those who run the organized religions (pharisees) who pride themselves on the literal interpretation of scripture.

When you find the oneness with God you will have no use for the religions of this world.
