yep, they should call themselves the irrelevant church because that is what they are. There are many scriptures that implore us to overcome our physical and sensual natures and if that’s not done we are very hard pressed to become patient in all things. The church as a whole has fallen down so badly, as Americans suffer. Here’s one church that hasn’t and actually teaches a be still silent prayer that brings people towards true salvation...fhu.com

So 1 Corinthians 7 should be thrown out?

Ah, the good old gnostic heresy ...

I need to overcome my fallen nature, not my physical nature.

If physical = bad

how do you explain the fact that there is a human being sitting on the throne of God.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-9
