Hi brothers and sisters,
Many practices of Christendom today are definitely derived from Judaism 
under the old covenant and have no roots at all in the new covenant.

But a lot of our thinking relative to the perceived dichotomies between 
"clergy and laity",  and "spiritual work" and "secular work" are a direct 
result of Greek philosophy and world view and not from a Biblical world view 
at all!

I read a brief but very interesting book yesterday written by a Christian 
business man, John Beckett about integrating Biblical principles in 
business. It is called "Loving Monday: Succeeding in Business Without 
Selling Your Soul."   You can find it online at:  www.lovingmonday.com
Take special note of the chapter "A Greek Legacy". You'll find it very 
interesting to see how much our "Christian culture" has adopted Greek 
philosophy which is absolutely foreign to scripture!

Your brother in Christ,
Bruce
