Bible Question: The things of this world -- worldliness -- can ensnare the Christian and lure him away from intimacy with God. But so can religion itself. Can you cite and discuss examples in the Bible where religious people have literally been entrapped by their own religion? --Hank |
Bible Answer: Matt 23:13-15 13But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. 15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. |
