Jesus said-
Woe unto you, ye
BLIND guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing;
but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Ye fools and BLIND:
for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
And, Whosoever shall
swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is
upon it, he is guilty.
Ye fools and BLIND:
for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Whoso therefore
shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
And whoso shall
swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
And he that shall
swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth
thereon.

Truly getting caught
up in the *things* that where commanded by God to be made is wrong. The
Pharisees started to believe the *things* were holy outside of God. They began
to believe their holiness was in and of their existence and not because God
declares them holy. THAT is where the holiness is, with GOD and not with the
things. God is the power. If God left the temple, it would NO longer be holy!
If God is not there it means nothing!
Jesus said-
Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and
cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and
faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
*******
The believe their
money earned them God's favor, that God was concerned with their money more
than the HUMANITY, the COMPASSION. More
important was God's LAW, more important was God's JUDGMENT. More important, was
God's MERCY, and more important was God's FAITH. To pay tithe and do no more is NOT acceptable
to God. To pay tithe AND live in HIS law, HIS judgment, HIS mercy and HIS faith
is acceptable but all too often people don't want to go beyond their wallets.
They want to believe they can pay their way into God's favor but it does not,
no amount of tithe can garner God's favor if it is void of His LOVE.
Jesus said-
Ye BLIND guides,
which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
*******
Straining at a gnat-
wanting to pick at the least important things, while swallowing a camel-
ignoring the weightier matters. The
spiritual BLIND do this! They refuse to see and live truth, preferring a lie.
Spiritually BLIND-
unable to see the truth!
Spiritually BLIND-
unwilling to see the truth!
Spiritually BLIND-
purposely sightless!
We NEED to buy of
our SAVIOR- EYESALVE for our blindness.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Please we would buy
of YOU eyeslave so we may see! We do not want t be spiritually blind, Lord,
please, anoint our eyes! We would see spiritually and know You and be known of
You!
All by YOUR LOVE in
YOUR NAME!
