THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 59: Religious Hypocrisy |
|
The prophet Isaiah exposed the lies of the Kabbalists
and Jesus called out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees with their false
oaths. Even though the Mosaic law placed a prohibition on lying,
these deceitful men had no problem committing perjury and using
God’s holy name in the process. For example, an oath by the temple
could be nullified, but one that involved the gold of the temple was
inviolate. Another oath to escape accountability involved making a
promise on the altar versus the sacrifice which lay upon it. The
whole thing was ridiculous because the Pharisees loved loopholes for
their corrupt way of life built upon the doctrine of the Kabbalah.
Jesus made it clear He was aware of their wickedness. They had been
weighed and found wanting. The common people watching this unfold
must have been shocked as the God-man boldly revealed the corruption
of the Jewish leadership and their affinity to the Kabbalah. |
