Yes - the point is that stone-hearted mannequins need to abandon the grand posture of the Pharisee whose prayer was "Thank Thee, O Lord that I'm not like that horrid Publican over there."

Most religious people have turned redemption into a work of the flesh, and go around claiming to have chosen God, as if they're somehow the Author of their faith instead of He.




Wtf is the difference? I don't see where Jesus ever said "Be ye Christian".
