the carnal mind is enmity with God.  With the carnal mind we dwell on
carnality(flesh). In other words, the flesh is opposition with God; hostile.
Why should one place so much emphasis on something that doesn't
or should I say, isn't in agreement with God to start with. This motral shall
put on immortality. If pentecostal people placed as much emphasis on
loving individuals  as they do om condemning, then what a more
harmonious church-world we would have. I know that pentecostals place 
a lot of emphasis on the outward adornment. I was raised in a trinitarian
church that held to the same legalistic governing dogma that I see in some
of the one-God churches. Why?  When Jesus revealed himself to me,
I repented of all the teachings of man and thank God(Jesus), I was 
set free. Jesus said, "you judge after the flesh, I judge no man".
