How would you square that with Paul's saying that he can do all things through Christ?

If you can tell us how to do everything by just looking to Jesus, and never have any set practices, then I'm all ears. But I doubt you can. I'm sure you have all kinds of habits and practices you do simply from memory. Or do you have to learn directly from Jesus again every day how to brush your teeth?
You are talking idealist theory. Until you can demonstrate someone who has achieved what you are arguing for, it's silly to argue for it. What's the point?
