>> I think we have proved over and over that attempts to change one's culture does not work. << you do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. forgettest thou the holy apostle Paul? of what culture was he? did not God perform a work in him and turn him from a persecuting Jew into a proselytizing Christian? For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; --Galatians 1:13-16

and in case someone tries to draw some comparison between those Christ-deniers in their crossless synagogue to the blessed apostle, what did Paul say? But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. --Galatians 6:14 you cannot deny the Cross of Christ and be a Christian -- PERIOD!

"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." these wolves in sheep's clothing boast of not having a cross and refuse to be called a church, but rather wish to be known as a synagogue! Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves......Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.......Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.... (Matthew 7) Santiago, do you see where Christ contrasts those who merely "saith" and do not enter into the kingdom of heaven with those who "doeth" the will of his Father in heaven? protestants teach a superficial Christianity where you can draw nigh unto God with your lips, while your heart is far from him. protestants like to giggle and drink espresso and wave their hands and flap their gums while they listen to guitars and drummers when they go to church. they don't go to worship God, they go to be entertained. we are told that if we want to follow Christ we must DENY ourselves. when do protestants ever speak of denying themselves anything?
