This is why theologians, pulpit folks, Bible scholars and translators virtually rarely understand the Scriptures. This is why the organized Church is “teaching for doctrines the Commandments of men.” That is why Jesus said, “They draw near me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me".
How can they understand when their lives are focused on this world and the ideals which man holds dear, trying to make God over in the world's image. Jesus made it clear His work was the Gospel of the Kingdom and all that it implied. Unless one rejects the world man has created built upon man's ideals along with the religions which use God to justify our ways, none of these can understand or teach that which is contrary to mankind.
Has anyone in over 1700 years seen a church or religion teach that which is contrary to mankind's concept of what is good and evil? It's there in scripture but how could these man created churches grow if they taught the people how backwards they are? Man wants what is comfortable to live with. Man is afraid to become non-conformists.
