The Pharisees,
Sadducees and Scribes
Blind
And Ignorant Religious Leaders
1. They did not know the truth about God and life.
2. The Holy Spirit was not in them and was not with them.
3. They wanted to be the leaders, by fire and by force. They were power-hungry, and wanted to be the lords of earth, who dictate what others must do.
4. But they did not have the spirit of true leadership.
5. They were so spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy that they could not even recognize the Lord and Saviour, who was in their midst
6. They were not making inquiries from God, and were not following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They failed to consult God.
7. They were misrepresenting God Almighty, Yahweh.
8. They supposed to give solid support to the works of Jesus Christ, and encourage all people to do the same.
9. Instead of doing the needful, they were disorganizing, mocking, condemning the works of Jesus Christ; and accusing Him, falsely; and hindering the Gospel of Truth and Salvation.
10. They refused to accept corrections.
11. They had the misleading spirits of pride and pomposity.
12. Despite many prophecies of the coming and birth of Jesus Christ, and the numerous confirmations of His arrival and birth, the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes refused to obey and follow the Lord and Saviour.
13. The Holy Spirit has no position in their midst and does not stay with them.
14. The Holy Spirit does not want the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes.
15. They were committing many evils and abominations, which were not written.
16. They wanted power to heal the sick, and to perform deliverances, signs and wonders.
17. They failed to recognize the fact that Jesus Christ, as the Lord Almighty, as the Lord and Saviour, and as the Maser, did not need to take permissions from man, before doing what is necessary.
18. They were not using the name of God, Yahweh, only. That was why God started from the beginning to remove them, to avoid them and to keep them by the side.
19. Many of them had other gods, they worship. If they deny this fact, do not listen to them and do not believe them. They could only deceive those people who did not see with their spiritual eyes. That was one of the reasons why Jesus Christ often called them hypocrites.
20. They were misinterpreting the words of God, the holy book, by turning many things upside down. Thereby, they were confusing and misleading the people, who wanted to worship God.
21. If they were doing what God said, and if the Holy Spirit was in them, Jesus Christ would have started His works with them.
22. They were turning the hearts of people against their Lord and maker.
23. They came in our midst as if they were our friends, but were not our friends. Usually, if they worked against any person, and could not get and manipulate the person, if they were at enmity with you, if they could not prevail over you, they come in ticklish ways like a friend.
24. On many occasions, when they came to us, they would ask you one question. Such a question that, if the Holy Spirit was not with you, you could not answer it. And that would be an evidence, which they would use against you, to persecute you.
25. They can bribe somebody with money, and ask the person to stop doing what the person was doing. They would say, “Stop it.”
26. They came to us, and against us, but we asked them, “Shall we leave the laws of God and follow the laws of man?”
27. They introduced many man-made laws, traditions and doctrines, which were not from God, even so without people knowing it. And people were piously following the man-made laws and traditions, which were heavy burdens on the people.
28. They supposed to abandon their own ways and follow the Master. They failed to do this very important duty.
29. That was how Judas Iscariot joined them, because he was converted into their midst. He was playing double standards, as a hypocrite, pretending to side with Jesus Christ, while working with chief priest, rulers of the synagogue, the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes.
30. Why did He not call the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes?”
31. The spirit and knowledge with which they were working were not good spirits. If Jesus Christ had called them in, they would mix up both old and new teachings, and eventually abandon the new teachings and continue the false teachings and wrong practices.
Why
The Holy Spirit Uses The Humble People
Why do the Holy Spirit seek for those people, who are humble?
It is because such people have the spirit of obedience. If such people encounter problems and challenges, they would go back to the Holy Spirit to ascertain what should be done.
Son of man, yourself answered very well.
Son of man, it is not all these famous people, seen by humanity, that God uses to do work. People love all these famous personalities. The famous people have selfish desires, which is the number one bad character that you see in them. The Holy Spirit does not tolerate such bad characters.
