Because the desire to follow human written doctrines is stronger than the call of the heart and love the people.
Jesus severely rebuked the church back then for looking after itself and looking after only it’s congregation, the same is being repeated today.
°
The church is a business that follows the government, and caters (in many ways) to a lost society. Many have become a part of the world, and are only separate in what they keep for themselves.
°
James said to be doers of the word, to go visit the widowers etc. But today most religious organizations isolate their good deeds from the world by only helping one another, and they pray (and not act) to help others, instead of using their own time, materials and money helping others themselves.
°
They want God to save the world while the religious selfishly hold onto their worldly goods, money and time. In other words their love is not sacrificial like Jesus showed us to be. Jesus said that not all those that call “Jesus” will be recognized by Christ, and the goats will be separated from the sheep.
°
God expects the religious to be charitable, doers, active in the community, comforters, teaching and preaching, while being the example of good decent people who genuinely care for others as the Good Samaritan cared for a complete stranger.
°
Let us not deceive ourselves.

All the best from
