I am not sure what you are asking. But the bible states unless a man is renewed by regeneration he cannot enter the kingdom of god. Does this answer your question?

Joe,

the problem, as I see it, is the corruption of Jesus's teachings by dogmatic law.

all the praying and head covering and bible thumping in the world doesn't bring one soul closer to God. Jesus's teachings are simple and easy to follow and have no dogma to them. I follow them and they have led me to God. Period.

I see the dogma of religions as the single most divisive and possibly the most evil thing in this world. I accuse, directly, the Roman Catholic Church for the corruption of Jesus's message of peace, love, and respect FOR ALL MEN. Jesus said, that God ALONE will judge sin. Man's only task was to love and care for one another.
It is the catholic Church that made men believe they required an intermediary between them and God. That is the biggest lie ever told and the most destructive thing ever said.
I have discarded all things remotely catholic in my life and I was raised in the religion, that's a lot of baggage. I use a Jeffersonian bible which has Jesus's teachings, the great stories and little more.

the schism in this country between the God in our documents and the people those documents serve is a DIRECT correlation to the corruption of the gospel.
People think loving God and living on His path means hating something else and THAT is wrong

Yes, you do... God do had law... God is the lawgiver. He gives us rules to live by, to keep us from doing wrong. He shows us how to do good. 10 Commandments are part God's law. try read Bible Galatians.. in there writtena bout help peoples rely on Jesus tather than on trying to keep God's Law..

here how live with christian
Philippians
Ephesians

Head coverings ect are mere repersentations and expressions of humility, if you properly rad the bible, then you whould know that in 1 corinthians ch.11 v:5 it reccomends that women cover there heads in prayer.
