Straight truth. When Satan tempted Adam and Eve into sinning, his foothold was in the "world" of men: their thoughts and feelings. Satan is nowhere else. God is everywhere else. Every approach to God is through the sacraments, which are external.
This "seek God within" idea is simple Pentacostalism. It is a conceit, not supported by scripture in any way. If it were true, there would be no need for salvation.
Utter nonsense. Scripture is is written by man not by God. God is within, not evil. I know something satanic exists within YOU Mr. Jewish 70 Year old Aerospace engineer, I hope you find the strength to exercise that satanic force within you. It's not within me though.
So, you dismiss Scripture as not being Holy Writ? And make up your own mythology? So, how exactly are you supposed to be different from those you despise?
God has never been within us, as we use the word. The word as used in the passage quoted is a poor translation of a Greek word that has connotations of "among" or "with", not "inside of you." As Jesus was present with the Pharaisees, and he was the Kingdom of God, he was telling them the truth, that the Kingdom of God was with them...literally.
Your holiness detection abilities are unreliable. I am not a Jew, but I don't like being called one as an epithet of hatred.
