AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 11:42 ¶ "But woe (judgment is coming) to you Pharisees, because you [self-righteously] tithe mint and rue and every [little] garden herb [tending to all the minutiae], and yet disregard and neglect justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done, without neglecting the others. [Lev 27:30; Mic 6:8] |
Bible Question: What this verses mean Luke 11:42-46? What does want us, if were not pharisees? |
Bible Answer: In that verses, Jesus Christ talking about the greedness of the Pharisees, they are very strict of collecting tithes in everything from israelites but forget to teach the most important teaching about love of God. They are hypocrites of being pretending that they are the real man of God, but the important to them is what they can get from thier people. They want to be known as prayerful so they can attract people that they are good so people will trust them through thier pretence that they are man of God: Mt 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. This things is happening in our time, to many pastors of today taught that works is not requirements for salvation but required thier members to give tithes. Too many people also are willing to give donations but in return thier names will be published in different newspaper, seen in telivision of how much the give in order to get more prestige and media milleage that they can use if they run in politics. Being known in his community or to his country is the most popular reasons why people give and help, the essence of being son of God and love of God is not important to them anymore!
