OH GAG ME WITH A SPOON!
I'm reminded of David going out to slay Goliath. Saul put all his armor on him etc. David, being the discerning, anointed, Spirit-filled lad that he was, flushed all that JUNK. Took his few stones and went and slew the giant.
GOD IS WELL ABLE AND HAS REPEATEDLY raised up quality, vibrant, balanced, effective tribal churches with simply the spoken New Testament in their language as a guide.
THEY DIDN'T NEED:
1. the magicsterical
2. the pontifical power mongers
3. the fossilized edifice
4. the !!!!!TRADITIONS!!!!!
5. the customs
6. the rituals
7. the politics
8. the pontifical ecclesiastical armies, bureaucrats, hangers on
9. the images and idols
10. the crawling on knees on broken glass
11. the rosary
12. Mary
. . .
nor . . . drum roll . . .
. . .
13. the ligurgical language! LOL
THE LIVING SPOKEN WORD AND HOLY SPIRIT WERE SUFFICIENT!
Must have something to do with God being our ALL SUFFICIENCY! Fancy That! Just like He said!
Judaism is a liturgical faith. Your ignorance is amazing. Your anger is fascinating.
