The carnally religious Christian makes mistakes just like the Pharisees of old
John 6:63 – It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 1 Corinthians 3 – And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal.

The eternal perspective – and what God really wants – audio sermon
Humans are eternal beings who often live in the paradigm of this world, their cares, and not so mindful of what the Bible teaches is the true reality, or “eternal perspective.” This is sad but not unexpected of those who do not name Christ, but what about those who do say they represent the kingdom of God on earth? Since the Protestant Reformation put on steroids a tendency in the carnal theologians who came before. so many have argued with scripture verses allegedly backing them that they know the way of Christ.
