Others going to church may do so for reasons that do not cause them to progress toward a great reward. Those lacking the substance produced through a belief in being righteous by faith and faith alone, seem to constantly need something to 'keep them in line'. Those living this 'shower a week' religion, do not comprehend the preciousness of the gift of righteousness Christ made possible. 

Being "in the flesh" has to do, not with what you are doing, but in what you are trusting; more.

In the old covenant they were dead in the spirit.(Deuteronomy 5:29).and alive to the flesh.('thanks' to the law:.Romans 8:2-17). In the new covenant.(Hebrews 8:10: 10:16).we are dead to the flesh and alive to the spirit:.Romans 7:5,6. Those who trust in the part of the Mosaic Law having to do with the commandments.(the standard some preachers use to convict parishioners' hearts), are in the flesh. Why?
   One does not really 'go to church'.

Unfortunately many engrossed in their own so-called spirituality become like the ancient Pharisees; that is, their acceptance of you is unlike the Creator's unconditional love and forgiveness:.Matthew 6:9. These sort can't see the heart, only the comparison between what they think to be one's motives by what they see and hear, with what they carelessly or deceitfully have told themselves to be true. And this is typical of beliefs that are 'anti-science', such as vaccines.

Such are they having an air of superiority about them which carries with it a condescending attitude toward others, often exemplified by signs conveying the message to others that they are unwanted, unneeded and are not respected, nor will they be listened to.

"How do I listen to others? I listen as if everyone were my master speaking to me his cherished last words."....the Sufi poet Hafiz.

Public officials and their bureaucrats, unworthy of the name 'public servants' can be not very nice when it comes to interactions with what they regard as 'common folk'. Some of them feel as if they are in a special group of high muckamuks.

It all comes from an attitude learned in childhood of disrespect for others, which makes a child say, 'My tricycle is faster than your tricycle'. The attitude is, 'I'm better than you' and comes without proof, because this attitude disallows information to the contrary of one's beliefs. Such an attitude is one of the limiting factors that need to be swept aside if one is ever to rise up spiritually. The great movie on erasing limitations,.The Grand Self.would be helpful for people with limiting attitudes, but only if they take notes on paper of what may come to their mind while viewing the movie. Avoid wasting your time unless you're ready for change.

Such types as the ancient and the modern ones too, are out to bind burdens upon you.(Matthew 23:1-4); conditions that you are expected to meet before they will allow you into their God forsaken realm:.Matthew 23:23-33. Such is religion and government. Like paying all the fees which increase for them year by year?

These people may think you strange if they believe that only they possess the truth and you, well you are thought to be just beginning in the truth and being thus, must be woefully ignorant of the spirituality they feel they have rights to monopolize and effuse.

Such are the leaders and 'would be ascenders'.(those who crave position and recognition).amongst others. A church such as this is obviously not at all a spiritual church, but a carnal one.

This is a church that would probably not recognize the pure attitude Emmanuel was describing in this parable in Luke:.Luke 18:9-14. This would be more like it:.Ezekiel 33:30-32.
