"There are two things that we must have if we are going to change our way of life. One is faith, the
confidence in things unseen, the fundamental goodness and purpose in the world. The other is obedience:
that is, living according to our faith, living each day as we believe that God wants us to live, with
gratitude, humility, honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love. Faith and obedience, these two, will give us all
the strength we need to overcome sin and temptation and to live a new and more abundant life."
'Praise God'

I was considering checking out one of the satellites near me. My aunt is pretty involved and there is a connection process, getting people involved. Small groups and what not. Some rather disconcerting news comes from the church but with a church that large...you can expect some fallout of some kind. I'm not trying to gloss over anything...I just don't think it's a wealth prosperity church.
The few times I went years ago in buckhead my take away was. Yes I agree, but felt rather "milky" and insubstantial if you wanted to go deeper. A launching ground perhaps?
I think he describes it as a church for the unchurched.

No..... it doesn't matter.
A pastor is not there to know each first name. He is there to present the word of G-d. It is not a social place. When social attributes enters....G-d becomes secondary. Not right.
Give me a traditional servant of G-d presenting the word of G-d and my time at the church is well spent.
Afterwards, have lunch, social coffee is fine.

Its not that difficult once you really read that passage
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (King James Version)
This passage is often used by Christians to insist that the "moral law" is still with us today. But if you read it carefully, Jesus was actually proposing 2 different ways in which the law can be "passed" away.
1)Till heaven and earth pass away
2)Till all be fulfilled
The first has obviously not happened. But Jesus on earth has fulfilled all the law on our behalf, so the second condition has taken place.

Your point #2 "Till all be fulfilled" you are making out "Till some be fulfilled." Let me ask you: The feasts point to what God is doing with mankind. Has everything taken place already or are some yet future?
Legend: Fulfilled - Not Fulfilled
1. Passover - 7 days of unleavened bread (two high days).
2. Pentecost - The outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
3. Trumpets - The return of Christ.
4. Day of Atonement - The binding of Satan (scapegoat).
5. Feast of Tabernacles - The millennial reign.
6. The Last Great Day - The White Throne Judgment.
Looks like some are yet in the future. Or is it just me?

Interesting, so you disagree that Jesus has fulfilled All the law? Well if you don't believe that, then yes, I can understand your point.
By the way. I was amused that you also consider the millennial reign and the Great white throne judgement as part of the law. Yes, I agree that those events have yet to come to pass.

Sorry my previous reply was actually meant for this particular post, to recap

"And...Spiritually bankrupt shall bring cause of precisely what is being Witnessed by ALL,
across the lands, far and wide. Unthinkable 'events'...but of such things....before time was time...
the 'nature' of ALL THINGS, were they not put in order of things...'to be'. The wisdom of the
world would become foolish, and scattered to and fro with division and separation...so be even
within places of 'modern day religion'....God's way has been replaced by man's way...no more...no less."...
