Summary
The problem with the Pharisees and scribes of his day was not that they were hypocrites, the problem was that they didn't actually live up to their own doctrine. God's law is subjective, subjective, and it's interpretation is up to the individual to decide what they think God might be leading them to do.

00:00:05.880
cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:18.540
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.120

00:00:31.860
perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll
00:00:37.060
take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.980
but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.780
what's the number one word used by jesus to describe the religious rulers of his day
0.98
00:00:58.340
hypocrite not now this is where evangelicals will lose their mind okay so just i'm trigger warning
0.89
00:01:07.440
it's going to be hard for some of you the number one word that jesus uses to describe
0.99
00:01:14.440
the religious rulers of his day is not legalism he doesn't say you legalist you tell people that
00:01:23.940
obedience in in every realm of life is something that god requires jesus never contest that concept
00:01:33.760
he never says they're legalists that tell people they need to work hard to seek to be obedient
0.76
00:01:41.680
to god that's not jesus beef with the pharisees his beef is you hypocrites meaning what what what
0.90
00:01:50.420
is the logical conclusion what's the simple implication of that statement it means the
0.76
00:01:56.200
pharisees teaching sometimes it's strange and diverse sometimes it's off but a lot of times
0.64
00:02:02.640
it's right and the problem with the pharisees is not that they tell people that obedience matters
0.95
00:02:09.600
the problem with the pharisees is that they tell people obedience matters but personally they don't
00:02:15.300
do it they don't obey now think of the average evangelical today what what do they think when
0.99
00:02:22.500
they think who's the bad guy who's the bad guy well the bad guy is the pharisee and what well
0.81
00:02:28.500
that's true they were the bad guys but then the question is what what was the quintessential
00:02:33.600
characteristic and mark of a pharisee well ask the average evangelical and they'll say well the
00:02:39.140
mark of a pharisee is is that they um they cared about obedience the mark of a pharisee is is that
00:02:47.340
they said god had a law and that people should follow it that's mean no no the mark of a pharisee
0.81
00:02:56.340
is it about 90 of the time their teaching was true the problem is that they were hypocrites
00:03:03.280
and did not actually follow their own doctrine i mean jesus even says when it comes to tithing
00:03:09.620
think about this for a second jesus says you have heard the pharisees they they tithe down
00:03:15.020
to 10 of their dill and spice right so that the pharisees and scribes they're taking their spices
00:03:24.020
in their spice cabinet they're taking cumin they're taking paprika and they're drawing out
00:03:30.260
lines on the counter and and measuring it with a ruler and cutting off 10 percent and bringing it
00:03:37.400
to the synagogue and and you expect jesus is going to say isn't that legalistic doesn't say that
00:03:43.900
he says but they've neglected the weightier matters of justice and mercy and then jesus
00:03:51.900
literally says you should do the former that thing isn't legalistic they're actually right
00:03:58.420
and you should do it too but don't be like the pharisees and do the other stuff also
00:04:04.300
so do this little thing jesus said this is a little thing and it doesn't matter
00:04:08.560
and god's law is really up for grabs and it's subjective and it's interpretation and
00:04:12.500
you know to each his own just follow jesus and whatever you think god might be leading you to
00:04:17.540
do you know and it's just live your truth man said jesus never that's not what he says he says
00:04:25.280
this seemingly little thing, he doesn't condemn it. He says, you should do this little thing too.
00:04:32.120
But don't you dare do a little thing at the expense of the big thing.
00:04:36.560
Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys,
00:04:41.120
you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you.
00:04:46.200
I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact,
00:04:53.240
some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's
00:04:58.900
ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last
0.97
00:05:07.920
three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if
00:05:15.320
people change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:05:22.440
Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:05:27.060
You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you.
