Jesus Christ Explains Why Pharisees, Sadducees And Scribes

Are Not Compatible With The Gospel Of Truth And Salvation
Now, Nicodemus, who once came to Jesus in the night to learn the way of life, was one among the guests. And standing forth he said, “Teacher, it is true that Israelite laws and practices do not agree. The priesthood needs to be reformed. The rulers should become more merciful and kind. The lawyers should become more just. The common people should not bear such loads. But could we not gain these reforms and not destroy the service of the Israelite Covenant System Of Worship?
Could you not harmonise your mighty work with that of Pharisees and scribes? Might not the priesthood be a benefit to your divine philosophy?”

But Jesus said, “You cannot put new wine in ancient skins, for when it purifies itself, behold, it expands. The ancient bottles cannot bear the strain. They burst, and all the wine is lost. Men do not mend a worn-out garment with a piece of cloth unworn, which old piece cannot yield to suit the fabric, weak with age, and then a greater rent appears. Old wine may be preserved in ancient skins. But new wine calls for bottles new. This spirit-truth I bring is to this new generation, and if we put it in the ancient skins of old forms, behold, it will all be lost. It must expand. The ancient bottles cannot yield and they would burst. Behold the kingdom of the Christ! It is as old as God Himself, and yet it is as new as morning sun. It only can contain the truth of God.”
