Define Judaizer = Slave to Judaistic tradition and or law/dogma..

[ If you are looking for a Christian fulfillment of the Jewish temple worship ]

I'm not..

[ then of course you are looking at the Catholic of Orthodox liturgy. ]

Litergy is droneing the dead letter of scripture or other concepts.. Buddists are much better at that.. with their Mechanical God.. Repeating the same prayers, dogma, or "scripture" over and over again.. i.e. prayer wheels and other mechanical pingings to a mechanical God..

Brings several so-called christian practices to mind.. Most of the pagan religions do that including Islam.. which is absolutely pagan.. To a Mechanical Christ..

Yes, Christ and John the Baptist come to mind.

I think you are right in that spiritual practice as known in Christianity for millennia are mostly missing in Protestantism.

I'd touched that topic a couple of times on the thread, that the monasteries were shut down by the reformers for example.

The traditional spiritual practices are not entirely dead in Protestantism however. There is for example a growing number practicing some form of lectio divina.
