Paul wrote to the Ephesians that the N.T. church is to be built, "...upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the cheif corner stone...builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit." Eph 2:20-22
  Jeremiah called out the sin of Israel; people believing in their family and or religious circles' name and some caring around an artifact claiming power through it.  All God ever wants is our honor and acknowledgement of His Holiness, our humility to cry unto Him for all things, and to proclaim Him as the Lord and Creator of all.  Let's take this foundational writing from Paul and see how mighty He is when we search for truth of God's plan.  I believe that the adversary is only able to defeat us when we lack knowledge of scripture.  Jesus was tempted after the fast in the wilderness.  Even in the driest of times in our life we still have power in the Word.  When Satan tries to twist it to make it sound different, allow the habitation of the promise, the Holy Spirit, bring to remebrance that which we have learned.
  John 5:39 - Jesus said for us to search the scriptures for in them you think you have life. But these are they that testify of Me.
  The only scriptures 2,000 years ago would have been the O.T.  I beleiving in loving all people regardless of their habits for the purpose to come into a closer relationship with God.  The circumcision of their heart will change their outward appearance to mankind as people grow closer through the knowledge and strength of the Word of God.  "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."
  Lord Jesus, dwell among your people daily and give us your bread of everlasting life.

God Bless,
