Matthew 23:26-28New International Version (NIV)
26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
The human mind is meant to hold something that flows like water. The flow of water cleansing away all filth.
We need to get into the right flow, where it's clean!

Hebrews 10:14 14 For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy.
Then pours his Spirit, his word, his Ten Commandments, his two Commandments and his word in us.
Hebrews 10:16 This is the agreement (testament, covenant) that I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding), 17 He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more.
AMP Acts 2:17
‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God, ‘That I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see [divinely prompted] visions, And your old men shall dream [divinely prompted] dreams;
The confusion comes from looking at the outside of a person. Does he/she have a job? Does he/she pay their bills on time? Is their grass mowed? House n good repair? Do they play their music loud and at late hours?
Those are not signs of "a good person". Those are people who keep up appearances. It's actually very wicked. It's a pretense, a deception.
Matthew 23:28........on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
"we evolve," not by mutation but by restoration of our souls being reconciled to God.
God is a Saint! When you are born of God, his seed remains in you, your DNA changes, You become like your new Father "A Saint".
2 Corinthians 5:17King James Version (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The words you speak to yourself and others is the river!
The Old Testament is all about keeping your body and everything Clean!
The New Testament is the completion of God's work; saving mankind's "soul", (mind).
The work of Jesus Christ and all God put's in us changes us and keeps our minds clean! Out of the
Gutter!

| Religion is what a person believes. |
Throughout history,Governments have always had a religious side to them. The Great Persian Empire, Romans attributed success and failure to many gods, The Greeks had many gods, The Pharoah's of Egypt, etc.

actual helps each
person and empowers them
with "God Power".
No other religions and their many gods can boast of this.
God 4,000 years ago taught Israel about germs and contagious diseases that the human eye can not see.
So all the laws in the Old Testament are to keep the Hebrews Clean and "Healthy"!
So all the laws in the Old Testament are to keep the Hebrews Clean and "Healthy"!
But there was no way to be clean once and for ALL! Sacrifices did not take sin away. The next day after the day of atonement, everyone sinned again!
Humans need God's Holy Spirit, his Power, his word in us to overcome sin.
We need to be completely Transformed/evolved, changed from
a sinner to a Saint!
1 Corinthians 1:22 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
Jesus said, "I am giving you all the help you need to know the truth to set you free from Satan's lies which defiles our thoughts, minds, words, makes us our minds, unclean, have dirty thoughts and words.

God never taught one community of just Israel-born people to be Hebrews. God wants all men to become his chosen people. Ruth, Rabah, and many others were converted to worship the one True God.
Below Peter entered this situation thinking all Gentiles are unclean,
"contagious", stay away from them. Protect yourself, your family, your city and the nation Gentiles because they sin and do not eat clean food.
Jesus cleansed this Gentile
and his household, he forgave their sins and filled the Gentiles with everything they need to be clean, healthy, sound minded and power to not sin any more. Peter's mind was changed by this. Peter saw things totally different after he saw the Glory of God on someone outside the "church", outside the Jewish community.
Ephesians 4:29
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear..
Cornelious a Roman Centurian
2 A [b]devout man, and one that feared God with [c]all his household, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed God continually.

Acts 10King James Version (KJV)
10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
