Well, the Pharisees had that kind of problem. They posed and presumed to stand between God and man by their own wills, and Jesus called that out as nonsense.

A revamp of rabbinical Judaism in a Christian flavor isn’t what Christ, what God has in mind, but that’s the heavy tendency of fallen mankind. People are scared of freedom in Christ. It’s almost like the atheists who say what, are you leaning on something you can’t see?

The carnal mind. I was thinking about that today as I was working on my shop. (I’m finally getting to build my shop on this land we purchased --- Wooo hooo!!) Any way, so much of the teaching today in churches springs from carnal understanding of scripture. I was thinking specifically of the “prosperity gospel” in that scripture does say we are “overcomers” and “children of the King”. But Christ is not King of this world just yet. We are over comers in the spiritual realm but not necessarily in this present physical world.
