Well, with christians the way we would be able to practice pure and undefiled religion is by being in prayer and relying on the Holy Spirit to give us strength and not our own flesh. Also, we are not suppose to follow man made traditions like the Pharisees did, but study the Word of God intently and trying to live it out everyday. We should be motivated by our love for God and wanted to please Him. We are suppose to love the Lord our God with all our heart soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves.
You are overlooking my point... pure and undefiled? That is God stuff, not mere mortal stuff... no matter how much a person prays for strength, study the word every day, go to church every day, they will never ever obtain a pure and undefiled state because too many other factors play in, brain chemistry, hormones, basic human nature, environmental aggravations.... the list just keeps going. If this the the prerequisite to a land of peace, we will not see it ever, in our current condition which by the way is called being human as in fallible.
