Bible Question: In Matt 15 1-22, Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites, the blind leading the blind, because they continued God's command of wahsing hands before eating, but changed God's command of death to a rebellious child. How could the Pharisees be wrong about washing hands? And how could they be wrong about changing that hedious penalty of death to a rebellious child? How could Jesus be critical of the tradition of washing hands before eating and then insinuate that the command of death should still be valid? |
Bible Answer: Because Jesus was no ordinary man. He was and is God. He could see people's minds and hearts and know what their true motive and spirit was. He saw the corruptness of the individual Pharisees He encountered therefore He spoke from this knowledge. The Pharisees and Sadducees were wrong about just about everything. They were of their father, the devil. This is a warning to us in that we are not to put man on a pedestal and deify him. We are to serve God and God alone. |
