The modern Church and Synagogue will probably not be rescued as the manmade religious institutions they have become. Just as with Israel in ancient times, the stakes are simply too high for the leadership for any meaningful change to be seriously contemplated, let alone enacted. The only changes that can occur within our Judeo-Christian faith institutions are at the grassroots level (just as Yeshua demonstrated). It must happen on the individual-by-individual level. A leader here, a worshipper there, perhaps even a small group occasionally. It will be difficult for us to change, because we’re very aware that it will come with a cost. Yeshua, Himself, more or less said the same thing and warned us of the gut-wrenching challenge we’ll face when we decide to turn away from human doctrines and manmade religion, and towards the true biblical faith.
CJB Luke 14:25-27 25 Large crowds were traveling along with Yeshua. Turning, he said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his brothers and his sisters, yes, and his own life besides, he cannot be my talmid. 27 Whoever does not carry his own execution-stake and come after me cannot be my talmid.
