Jesus did not accept religious people. In fact, He kept His fiercest threats for them. You see, Jesus was not about sentimentality; He was about truth. Jesus is truth personified. He is the living manifestation of the holy law of God, and as such, He perfectly understood that religion, spiritual teaching, contrary to the truth comes from hell and sends people there. Anything but the truth is a damning deception that has the greatest power to destroy souls forever because it gives the illusion that all is well. In fact, I would go so far as to say that of all the evils in the world, of all the sins in the world, of all the iniquities in the world, our Lord knew that religion was the worst — false religion — and especially false Judaism and false Christianity. And that's why the severest eternal judgment will be rendered for the religious who perverted the Old Testament and the New Testament.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat the oil in a medium saute pan
until it ripples. Add the ramp whites and cook until tender, 3
minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the
heat and cool as you prepare the custard. In a medium mixing bowl,
whisk the eggs until smooth, add the cream and whisk to combine. Add
the cheese and cooked ramp. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Divide the custard between 6 small ramekins (6-ounce capacity). Place
ramekins in a shallow baking dish. Place inside the oven and add
sufficient hot water to come 3/4 way up the side. Cover with foil and
bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until firm. Preheat the grill. For the
relish: Toss the greens with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with
salt and pepper. Grill lightly for 30 seconds, remove from the grill
and roughly chop. Add the greens to a bowl with the red peppers,
bacon, vinegar and remaining oil. Season. Serve a small pile of the
relish on top of the hot custard for the perfect appetizer. This
recipe yields 6 appetizer servings.
