There are many religious philosophies that we are to be aware of because they contain empty deceit. It is after the traditions of man and after the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ. How often do we follow tradition? How many Traditions does your church have? And what is the Bible have to say about tradition?
The Roman Catholic Church, for example, relies heavily on Apostolic Authority coming from the Vatican City and the Pope. The New Apostolic Reformation in 2002 restored the apostolic office themselves. They were self-ordained much like David C Pack of the Restored Church of God made himself an apostle. In Revelation Jezebel ordained herself a prophetess. Maybe I can ordain myself as Superman? All this is ridiculous and pits Apostolic Authority against scripture. Judaism regards the Torah or the first five books of the Bible highly but not quite as high as the Talmud which is Jewish tradition. Tradition can be classified as a philosophy written by men. Whether you believe it or not the Bible was not written by men per se but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Christadelphians and Bible students also follow their own traditions which supersedes the word of God and each Congregation of those bodies believe differently as there is no uniform Doctrine. Just like in the Book of Judges when everyone did what was right in their own eyes yes. I follow the word of God and place very little impetus on tradition.
I will conclude this series in part 3.
There mouth was smoother than butter but in their heart were drawn swords. Why doesn’t the United States see this? We have a new Trojan Horse in our country but it is the people that have frontlets over their eyes instead of the horses.
Pope Francis is behind a union of Islam, Christianity and the Jewish faith. He would like them all to come under Rome eventually. This is a very evil pope.
What is the fastest way out of a joint Roman Catholic and Voodoo service? A mass Exodus. And there should be a mass Exodus out of this Union!
Now this connection does not surprise me. Voodoo and Pentecostals do have a lot in common. What is one defining point between the two?
Surprise! surprise!
Now the tough part, while there is blindness in part, witness to Jews  about Jesus who came and died for them. Be persistent in your witness. 
The restored Church of God has their worship services on the Sabbath, that being Saturday. They Follow Jewish law in that regard. They also follow the ten commandments and the dietary laws. But do they meet in the prescribed place of worship that being the synagogue? NO! Why not since that is the prescribed place of worship on the Sabbath? Do they honor the Torah in their ceremonies? The Torah was Central to their worship on the Sabbath? If they do they would line up well with the Messianic Jews. Why not just combine with them?
The Restored Church of God is a works based Church. Galatians 5:4 says, he who attempts to be justified by law, he has fallen from Grace. Wow! How do they get around that verse? If righteousness came by the law then Christ died in vain. Wow! How do they handle that verse? These are good questions for the Restored Church of God. They largely follow the gospel of Peter to the circumcised or the Jewish people. They also believe they are the only true church on the planet Earth. That by itself marks them out as a cult. Do you know they have three levels of tithing? Do you know they cannot question the leader of their Church, David C Pack? Those that disagree with him are shown the back door. The punishment of the prophet Shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired. That is from Ezekiel 14:10. You can’t pick and choose what elements of the Sabbath you’re going to honor or dishonor. Amen.
I you’re looking for a mission field or an area to pray for this is it. The 10/40 Window is the most difficult Mission field for Christians as it contains Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. Islamic countries can put you to death for proselytizing their people. 
Prayer is always helpful in these areas and perhaps you should make that your personal prayer Mission Nightly? After years of Oppression these people need Jesus Christ to cast off centuries of bondage.
How many prayer warriors read this website? This is something you can direct your prayers too for God to intervene. These people need Jesus Christ too. 
Poverty is often found in these countries and not only for bread but also of spiritual nourishment which they have never had. Pray for those within the 10/40 window that they might find Freedom in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In all three of these passages of scripture who is the audience in question? That answer must be in context. All three passages are directed to Israel like it or not.
Every book in the Bible with the exception of the Pauline Epistles and Jonah and Nahum are directed specifically to Israel. To take it out of context is mis-handling the word of God.
Again the audience in question in these passages is Israel. Of course there are some who claimed that Israel is the church today. To do so means to deny context and audience. I take the Bible literally as it was meant to be. Scripture twisters do so to their own destruction. Take every scripture in context and knowing whom the audience is that the scripture is directed at.
Messianic Jews, the Hebrew Roots movement, and the restored Church of God all fall under this fable that the law coexists with Grace.
Now we come to the good soil. But the crop to harvest is still in doubt. How much will we profit by this soil? Some 30, some 60, or some 100? This soil depends on how much you put into it. Remember this is a Jewish parable and Jews put a lot of stock into good works. Some will produce a crop of about 30% While others 60%. While others who devote themselves entirely to the law May reap a harvest of a hundred percent. It’s what the laborer does to the soil. How much of himself does he put into the soil? Ezekiel 47 regards the depth of water somewhat differently.
The person is no longer in ankle, knee, or waist-deep water. He now is able to swim in the depth of water he finds himself. I Often refer to this as swimming in the spirit. He doesn’t allow externals to scare him out of the water at various depths. He doesn’t concern himself with 30 or 60% immersion. He goes all the way! 100%! Both the soil and the water examples require work on the part of the recipient. For that is the Jewish way. Remember, this parable is not directed to the body of Christ. We can learn from it but it is not our Doctrine. Our salvation is based on faith alone or faith plus nothing. Ephesians 2:8-9 bears that out.
Should there even be a Palestinian state? A Palestinian state as it exists today is the benefactor of both the United States and Israel. A few days ago president Trump suggested pulling financial support away from the Palestinian state. The honest reality is that the Palestinian State exists today as a Perpetual Thorn in the side of Israel. If the Islamic World truly cared about the Palestinian state any number of their countries can absorb them. They could then be supported by Arab countries. Without the support of the United States and Israel the Palestinian state could not exist. The UN Security Council consistently backs the Palestinian state to no one’s surprise. What nation on the Earth would permit a terrorist state to be located right next to them? When will the United States wise up? We pay the vast support of both the Palestinian state and the United Nations. What do you say?
