Robert,What do they do now, now that there are no sacrifices? Mitzvahs?I know that many of the Jews are very non-believing, but that is their habit, after all, and ours as well.But without the temple, what do they do now?Blessings,_________________Forrest Anderson

Our society has no plans to be broken and contrite. And yet, that is the only path towards a new and clean conscience: through the forgiveness of Christ, and the application of his love in our society. iT is not about 613 laws. But sadly so many Christians are paralyzed by their obsession with laws, while missing the greatest commandment entirely.

Rookie's: What does it mean that man walks according to the spiritual influence of Satan?

I think it is a direct parallel (but the opposite of) )to walking in the Spirit. Folk are either walking in the Holy Spirit or they are walking in the spirit of disobedience which is essentially the spirit of antichrist or the devil.
Repentance is not regeneration- it is a step towards it. Regeneration is the process by which God takes man back to the Garden as an exact representation of that unfallen Adam. The world around us is fallen and our bodies are still subject to decay, etc.; but we are new creatures if we are in Christ. This is a divine miracle of God in our transformation. This is John 3:3. We part company with the old man and the carnal mind and are renewed in the spirit of our mind. This is a new creation. This is" I make all things new."
