Matthew 23-27 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels. And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi




psalm 105: 15


"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

An interpreter of the law or a teacher does not pass for the annointed of God.

Even Jesus had to be annointed of God with the holy spirit before his ministry kicked off. Before then, he knew the law of Moses for example, could teach it and interpret it.

Annointing is not a status or label you wear on around your neck or forehead... It is a state of fellowship with the holy spirit - where you (or any body for that matter) are in sync with the mind and will of God.

Ride on Bishop

The scripture says do not touch my anointed ones, meaning do not harm them physically or beat them up ,It didn't say do not criticize them.

Matthew 23:1-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders
¹Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
²“The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.
³So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.
⁴They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
⁵“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.
⁶And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues.
⁷They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’

Psalm 105:15
"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

"¹Paul stared at the Jewish council and said, "Brothers, my relationship with God has always given me a perfectly clear conscience."
²The chief priest Ananias ordered the men standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
³Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you hypocrite! You sit there and judge me by Moses' Teachings and yet you break those teachings by ordering these men to strike me!"
⁴The men standing near Paul said to him, "You're insulting God's chief priest!"
⁵Paul answered, "Brothers, I didn't know that he is the chief priest. After all, Scripture says, 'Don't speak evil about a ruler of your people.'""
- Acts 23:1-5

"¹⁹Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
²⁰Jesus replied, “Everyone knows what I teach. I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple, where the peoplee gather. I have not spoken in secret.
²¹Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said.”
²²Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. “Is that the way to answer the high priest?” he demanded.
²³Jesus replied, “If I said anything wrong, you must prove it. But if I’m speaking the truth, why are you beating me?”"
- John 18:19-23

The two biblical passages can be reconciled with how Paul in Acts 23:1-5 and Jesus in John 18:19-23 behaved, handled, managed and conducted themselves when they found themselves in situations that were similar and/or like in what those two biblical passages, Matthew 23:1-7 and Psalm 105:15 touched on.

paxonel:

Gbam! Even tobechi20's post starts off with the damning indictment "Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders" words before he began to reel out Matthew 23:1-7 and/or Psalm 105:15.

No connection between the two verses.

No connection between what and which two verses?

In Christ we are all God’s anointed, all women and men of God. It is sad that we still carry Judaism mentality.

Learn Christ, learn to grow into that unlimited anointing on Christ, and learn to manifest such fullness and riches that would make the so called men of God to be humbled from their high seat.

Jesus was high , drunk with wine , his father is just as Fvcked up , quote me modafucker

MISHIGAS!

It is annoying that someone should take verses of Scripture out-of-context, and make a useless pop-quiz out of them, which they do not even take seriously.

Whereas, actual Christians' lives depend on our Knowledge of The Bible.

We are The Anointed of God to various degrees, according to the depth of our involvement with The Seven Spirits of God.

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

19. I call Heaven and Earth
to record this day against you,
that I have set before you
Life and Death,
Blessing and Cursing:
therefore CHOOSE LIFE,

That both thou
and thy seed may live:

20. That thou mayest
love The LORD thy God,

And that thou mayest
obey His Voice,

and that thou mayest
cleave unto Him:

for He is thy Life,
and the Length of thy days:

That thou mayest dwell
in the land
which The LORD Sware
unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob,
to give them.

. 2^nd CHRONICLES 16:9.

9. "For The Eyes of The LORD
run to and fro throughout
the whole Earth,
to show Himself strong
on behalf of those
whose heart
is perfect toward Him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth
thou shalt have wars.”

. AMOS 3:3.

3. "Can two walk together,
except they be agreed?"

. MATTHEW 10:16-20.

[16-18 omitted to fit Post.]
19. "But when they
deliver you up,
take no thought
how or what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given you
in that same hour
what ye shall speak.
20. "For it is not ye that speak,
but The Spirit of your Father
Which Speaketh in you."

. JOHN 3:34-36.

34. "For he whom God hath sent
speaketh The Words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit
by measure unto him.
35. "The Father loveth The Son,
and hath given All Things
into his hand.
36. "He that believeth on
The Son
hath Everlasting Life:
and he that believeth not
The Son
shall not see Life;
but The Wrath of God
abideth on him."

WE ARE THE ANOINTED OF GOD; YOU ARE WORTHLESS, ANNOYING SCUM: GET THAT STRAIGHT!

.     EXODUS 20:1-7.

AND God Spake
all these Words,
Saying,

2. "I (am) The LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee
out of The Land of Egypt,
out of The House of Bondage.

3. "Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not
make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness (of any thing)
that (is) in the Earth beneath,
or that (is) in the Water
under the Earth:
5. "Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I The LORD thy God
(am) a Jealous God,
visiting the iniquity
of the fathers
upon the third
and fourth (generation)
of them that Hate Me.
6. "And shewing Mercy
unto thousands of them
which Love Me,
and Keep My Commandments.

7. "Thou shalt not
take The Name
of The LORD thy God
in vain;
for The LORD will not
hold him guiltless
that taketh His Name
in vain."

AT AGE 13, ISRAELITES ARE DEDICATED TO GOD, (BAR/BAT MITZVAH,) AND MUST SPEND THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS ACQUIRING THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD, IN ORDER TO BE QUALIFIED TO SERVE HIM FULLY, BY AGE 20.

ISRAEL was a special nation, directly created by God to always serve Him, even while the rest of the World fell into Sin and Iniquity.

God holds every Human accountable for the deliberate Sins of their Parents, their Grandparents, and their Great-Grandparents.

The only "Innocent Infants" are those whose parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents have no iniquities their whole lives.

"INIQUITIES" are DELIBERATELY-COMMITTED SINS; no ATONEMENT covers them. Forgiveness of INIQUITY is by God's Discretion. No one can oblige Him to do that.

. DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God
is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them
diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

EVERY HUMAN IS OBLIGED TO RECOGNIZE GOD, AND TO LOVE HIM TO THE MAXIMUM OF THEIR EVERY FACULTY.

It does not matter whether someone told you any different.

That is THE LAW OF GOD, and NOTHING will CHANGE That.

IF YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, YOU CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

The Bible will be nothing but a Book of Customs, Myths, and Stories to you, which you will continue to treat lightly, until you die in ignorance, and find that you have lost that your depleted Soul.

. JOHN 3:1-21.

THERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a Ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus
by night,
and said unto him,
"Rabbi, we know
that thou art a Teacher
come from God:
for no man can do
these Miracles
that thou doest,
except God be with him."

3. Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN AGAIN,
HE CANNOT SEE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

4. Nicodemus saith unto him,
"How can a man be born
when he is old?
Can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb,
and be born?"

5. Jesus answered,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN
OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT,
HE CAN NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

6. "That which is Born
of the Flesh
is flesh;
and that which is Born
of The Spirit
is spirit.
7. "Marvel not
that I Said unto thee,

'YE MUST BE
BORN AGAIN.'

8. "The wind bloweth
where it listeth,
and thou hearest
the sound thereof,
but canst not tell
whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one
that is Born of The Spirit."

9. Nicodemus answered
and said unto him,

"How can these things be?"

10. Jesus answered
and Said
unto him,

"Art thou a Master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?
11. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'WE SPEAK
THAT WE DO KNOW,
AND TESTIFY
THAT WE HAVE SEEN;
AND YE RECEIVE NOT
OUR WITNESS.'

12. "If I have told you
Earthly Things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
if I tell you
of Heavenly Things?
13. "And no man
hath ascended up to Heaven,
but he that came down
from Heaven,
even The Son of Man
which is in Heaven.
14. "And as Moses lifted up
the Serpent in the Wilderness,
even so must The Son of Man
be lifted up:
15. "That whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have Eternal Life.
16. "For God so loved
the World,
that He gave
His only Begotten Son,
that whosoever
believeth in him
should not Perish,
but have Everlasting Life.
17. "For God sent not His Son
into the World
to Condemn the World;
but that the World through him
might be Saved.
18. "He that believeth in him
is not Condemned:
but he that believeth not
is Condemned Already,
because he hath not
believed in
The Name of The Only
Begotten Son of God.
19. "And this is The Condemnation,

'THAT LIGHT IS COME
INTO THE WORLD,
AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT,
BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS
WERE EVIL.'

20. "For every one
that doeth Evil
hateth The Light,
neither cometh
to The Light,
lest his deeds
should be reproved.
21. "But he that doeth Truth
cometh to The Light,
that his deeds
may be manifest,
that they are
wrought in God."

"BORN AGAIN" IN NORTHERN ARAMAIC MEANS: "TO CHANGE ONE'S THOUGHTS AND HABITS." NICODEMUS SPOKE SOUTHERN ARAMAIC, AND HENCE DID NOT UNDERSTAND JESUS.
[Footnote to JOHN 3:3,5 in the George Lamsa Peshitta Bible.]

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS! IT IS YOUR DUTY TO REPENT IMMEDIATELY, BELIEVE AND ACT ON THE GOSPEL OUT OF LORD YESHUA'S MOUTH!

If you waste time before attending to God's Business, when you finally want God to attend to you, He will also delay, of He responds at all in your lifetime.

People are literally dying, because God has no one He can send to them.

If you don't care about that, no one is obliged to care about YOU.

psalm 105: 15

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

. MATTHEW 11:1-19.

AND it came to pass,
when Jesus had made an end
of Commanding
his Twelve Disciples,
he departed thence
to teach and to preach
in their cities.
2. Now when John
had heard
in the prison the Works
of Christ,
he sent two of his Disciples,
3. And said unto him,

"Art thou he that should come,
or do we look for another?"

4. Jesus answered
and Said unto them,

"Go and shew John again
those things which ye do
hear and see:
5. "The Blind receive their sight,
and the Lame walk,
the Lepers are cleansed,
and the Deaf hear,
the Dead are raised up,
and the Poor have the Gospel
preached to them.
6. "And Blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be
offended in me."

7. And as they departed,
Jesus began to Say
unto the multitudes
concerning John,

"What went ye out
into the wilderness to see?
A reed shaken with the wind?
8. "But what went ye out
for to see?
A man clothed in soft raiment?
Behold, they that wear
soft clothing
are in kings' houses.
9. "But what went ye out
for to see?
A Prophet?
Yea, I Say unto you,

'AND MORE
THAN A PROPHET.'

10. "For this is he,
of whom it is written,

'BEHOLD,
I SEND
MY MESSENGER
BEFORE THY FACE,
WHICH SHALL PREPARE
THY WAY BEFORE THEE.'

11. 'Verily I Say unto you,

'AMONG THEM THAT ARE
BORN OF WOMEN
THERE HATH NOT RISEN
A GREATER THAN
JOHN THE BAPTIST:'

notwithstanding he that is
least in The Kingdom
of Heaven
is greater than he.
12. "And from the days
of John the Baptist until now
The Kingdom of Heaven
suffereth violence,
and the violent
take It by force.
13. "For all the Prophets
and the Law
prophesied until John.
14. "And if ye will receive it,
this is Elias,
which was for to come.
15. "He that hath
ears to hear,
let him hear.
16. "But whereunto
shall I liken this Generation?
It is like unto children
sitting in the markets,
and calling unto their fellows,
17. "And saying,

'WE HAVE PIPED
UNTO YOU,
AND YE HAVE
NOT DANCED;
WE HAVE MOURNED
UNTO YOU,
AND YE HAVE
NOT LAMENTED.'

18. "For John came
neither eating nor drinking,
and they say,

'HE HATH A DEVIL.'

19. "The Son of Man came
eating and drinking,
and they say,

'BEHOLD A MAN
GLUTTONOUS,
AND A WINEBIBBER,
A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS
AND SINNERS.'

But Wisdom is justified
of her Children."

WHAT IS A KINGDOM?

. ECCLESIASTES 8:2-5.

2. I counsel thee to keep
the king's commandment,
and that in regard
of the Oath of God.
3. Be not hasty
to go out of his sight:
stand not in an Evil Thing;
for he doeth
whatsoever pleaseth him.
4. Where the word of a king is,
there is power:
and who may say unto him,

"WHAT DOEST THOU?"

5. Whoso keepeth
the commandment
shall feel no evil thing:
and a wise man's heart
discerneth both
time and judgment.

A KINGDOM IS WHEREVER A KING'S WORD IS RECOGNIZED AS LAW.

What, then, is The Kingdom of Heaven?

.. MATTHEW 4:17.

17. From that time
Jesus began to preach,
and to say,

"Repent:
for The Kingdom
of Heaven
is at hand."

. MATTHEW 10:7.

7. And as ye go,
preach, saying,

'THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN
IS AT HAND.' "

The Kingdom of Heaven is wherever Heaven's Laws are enforced, and respected.

How does one ENTER into The Kingdom of Heaven, if one were not already in It?

.. MATTHEW 5:16-20.

16. "Let your light
so shine before men,
that they may see
your Good Works,
and glorify your Father
Which is in Heaven.
17. "Think not
that I am come
to destroy The Law,
or The Prophets:
I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil.
18. "For verily I Say unto you,

'TILL HEAVEN
AND EARTH PASS,
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE
SHALL IN NO WISE
PASS FROM THE LAW,
TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'

19. "Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these
least Commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least
in The Kingdom of Heaven:
but whosoever shall
do and teach them,
the same shall be called great
in The Kingdom of Heaven.
20. "For I Say unto you,

'THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
YE SHALL IN NO CASE
ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.' ".

We could have a World in which no one is HANDICAPPED, DEVIL-POSSESSED, nor DEAD: that is THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN- but it is held back by FOOLS as THE PHARISEES, who FORCE their way into SEATS OF RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY, and ABUSE THE POWER- PRETENDING TO BE ANOINTED BY GOD! Supported by FOOLS who say that they couldn't tell the difference!

. PSALM 105:1-22.

O Give thanks unto The LORD;
call upon His Name:
make known his deeds
among the people.
2. Sing unto Him,
sing psalms unto Him:
talk ye of all
His Wondrous Works.
3. Glory ye in His Holy Name:
let the heart of them rejoice
that seek The LORD.
4. Seek The LORD,
and His Strength:
seek His Face evermore.
5. Remember His Marvellous Works
that He hath done;
His Wonders,
and The Judgments
of His Mouth;
6. O ye Seed of Abraham
His Servant,
ye Children of Jacob His Chosen.
7. He is The LORD our God:
His Judgments are in
all the Earth.
8. He hath remembered
His Covenant for ever,
The Word which He Commanded
to a thousand Generations.
9. Which Covenant
He made with Abraham,
and His Oath unto Isaac;
10. And confirmed the same
unto Jacob for a Law,
and to Israel
for an Everlasting Covenant:
11. Saying,

"UNTO THEE WILL I GIVE
THE LAND OF CANAAN,
THE LOT OF YOUR INHERITANCE:"

12. When they were
but a few men in number;
yea, very few,
and strangers in it.
13. When they went
from one nation to another,
from one kingdom
to another people;
14. He suffered no man
to do them wrong:
yea, he reproved kings
for their sakes;
15. Saying,

"TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED,
AND DO MY PROPHETS
NO HARM."

16. Moreover He called
for a Famine upon the land:
He brake the whole Staff of Bread.
17. He sent a man before them,
even Joseph,
who was sold for a servant:
18. Whose feet they hurt
with fetters:
he was laid in iron:
19. Until the Time
that His Word came:
The Word of The LORD Tried him.
20. The king sent
and loosed him;
even the ruler of the people,
and let him go free.
21. He made him
lord of his house,
and ruler of all his substance:
22. To bind his princes
at his pleasure;
and teach his senators Wisdom.

HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THAT THE DESPERATELY WICKED SCRIBES AND PHARISEES WERE THE ANOINTED OF GOD, AND THAT RIGHTEOUS PROPHET LORD YESHUA WAS DOING THEM HARM, CONTRARY TO THE LAW AND WILL OF GOD!

Your Soul is indeed lost, for making such an implication!

. MARK 3:1-6.

AND he entered again
into the Synagogue;
and there was a man there
which had a withered hand.
2. And they watched him,
whether he would heal him
on the Sabbath Day;
that they might accuse him.
3. And he Saith unto the man
which had the withered hand,

"Stand forth."

4. And he Saith unto them,

"Is it Lawful to do Good
on the Sabbath Days,
or to do Evil?
To save life,
or to kill?"

But they held their peace.
5. And when he had
looked round about on them
with anger,
being grieved for
the hardness of their hearts,
he Saith unto the man,

"Stretch forth thine hand."

And he stretched it out:
and his hand was restored
whole as the other.
6. And the Pharisees went forth,
and straightway took counsel
with the Herodians
against him,
how they might destroy him.

THE PHARISEES HATED ANYONE WHO WAS TRULY SENT FROM GOD, BECAUSE THEY WERE IN COOPERATION WITH THE IDOLATROUS ROMAN GOVERNMENT, WHO KEPT THEM IN POWER FOR THAT REASON ONLY.

. MATTHEW 23:1-15.

THEN Spake Jesus
to the multitude,
and to his Disciples,

2. Saying,

"The scribes
and the Pharisees
sit in Moses' seat:
3. "All therefore whatsoever
they bid you observe,
that observe and do;
but do not ye
after their works:
for they say, and do not.
4. "For they bind
heavy burdens
and grievous to be borne,
and lay them
on men's shoulders;
but they themselves
will not move them
with one of their fingers.
5. "But all their works
they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders
of their garments,
6. "And love the Uppermost
Rooms at Feasts,
and the Chief Seats
in the Synagogues,
7. "And greetings
in the markets,
and to be called of men,
'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:'
for one is your Master,
even Christ;
and all ye are Brethren.
9. "And call no man
your father
upon the Earth:
for one is your Father,
Which is in Heaven.
10. "Neither be ye
called masters:
for one is your Master,
even Christ.
11. "But he that is
greatest among you
shall be your servant.
12. "And whosoever shall
exalt himself
shall be abased;
and he that shall
humble himself
shall be exalted.
13. "But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye shut up
The Kingdom of Heaven
against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them
that are entering to go in.
14. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
For ye devour widows' houses,
and for a pretence
make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive
The Greater Damnation.
15. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye compass Sea and Land
to make one proselyte,
and when he is made,
ye make him
twofold more
The Child of Hell
than yourselves."

THE FASTEST AND MOST PLEASURABLE WAY TO GAIN WEALTH AND POWER IS TO TAKE THE WISDOM AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, AS LAID OUT IN THE BIBLE, AND SELECTIVELY DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

It is also the most reliable way to get to HELL. One of the Great Lies of The Devil is that by COMMITTING SIN, you can gain POWER TO DO GOOD.

That was what he told Lord Yeshua in his TEMPTATION. That was what PAUL was caught preaching- only he lied, and denied it- whereas, that was what THE DOCTRINE OF THE PHARISEES was!

[Concluded.]

[Continued:]

If your Ruler is violating The Word of God, the best way to gain their favour is to convince them that they are doing nothing wrong. (I believe ROBERT GREENE should have said something to that effect in his 48 LAWS OF POWER!)

. LUKE 16:1-17.[b]

AND he said also
unto his Disciples,
"There was a certain rich man,
which had a steward;
and the same
was accused unto him
that he had wasted
his goods.
2. "And he called him,
and said unto him,

[b]'HOW IS IT
THAT I HEAR THIS
OF THEE?
GIVE AN ACCOUNT
OF THY STEWARDSHIP;
FOR THOU MAYEST BE
NO LONGER STEWARD.'

3. "Then the steward said
within himself,

'WHAT SHALL I DO?
FOR MY LORD
TAKETH AWAY FROM ME
THE STEWARDSHIP:
I CANNOT DIG;
TO BEG
I AM ASHAMED.
4. 'I AM RESOLVED
WHAT TO DO,
THAT, WHEN I AM
PUT OUT OF
THE STEWARDSHIP,
THEY MAY RECEIVE ME
INTO THEIR HOUSES.'

5. "So he called every one
of his lord's debtors
unto him,
and said unto the first,

'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU
UNTO MY LORD?'

6. "And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF OIL.'

And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY,
AND WRITE FIFTY.'

7. "Then said he to another,

'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?'

And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF WHEAT.'

And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND WRITE FOURSCORE.'

8. "And the lord commended
the Unjust Steward,
because he had done wisely:
for the Children of this World
are in their Generation
wiser than
the Children of Light.
9. "And I Say unto you,

'MAKE TO YOURSELVES
FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON
OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;
THAT, WHEN YE FAIL,
THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO
EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.'

10. "He that is faithful
in that which is least
is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust
in the least
is unjust also in much.
11. "If therefore ye
have not been faithful
in the Unrighteous Mammon,
who will commit to your trust
The True Riches?
12. "And if ye have not
been faithful in that
which is another man's,
who shall give you
that which is your own?
13. "No servant can serve
two masters:
for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will
hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."

14. And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous,
heard all these things:
and they derided him.
15. And he Said unto them,

"Ye are they
which justify yourselves
before men;
but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is
highly esteemed
among men is Abomination
in The Sight of God.
16. "The Law and the Prophets
were until John:
since that time
The Kingdom of God
is preached,
and every man
presseth into It.
17. And it is easier
for Heaven and Earth
to pass, than one tittle
of The Law to fail."

THE PHARISEES DESPISED THE TEACHINGS OF YOCHANNAN BAPTIST AND DERIDED THOSE OF LORD YESHUA.

Therefore, when Yochannan Baptist pointed out that Herod was committing Adultery by taking his brother's wife, they did not back him up, but allowed Herod to jail him. Lord Yeshua Said exactly the same thing, but went further, and showed that the problem was not only widespread, but caused by the Pharisees.

Therefore, they wanted to destroy him- THE TRULY ANOINTED BY GOD: and you have sided with THEM against GOD.

. MATTHEW 12:22-37.

22. Then was
brought unto him
one possessed
with a Devil,
blind, and dumb:
and he healed him,
insomuch that
the blind and dumb
both spake and saw.
23. And all the people
were amazed,
and said,

"Is not this
The Son of David?"

24. But when
the Pharisees heard it,
they said,

"This fellow doth not
cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub
the Prince of the Devils."

25. And Jesus knew their thoughts,
and Said unto them,

"Every kingdom
divided against itself
is brought to desolation;
and every city or house
divided against itself
shall not stand:
26. "And if Satan
cast out Satan,
he is divided
against himself;
how shall then
his Kingdom stand?
27. "And if I by Beelzebub
cast out Devils,
by whom do your children
cast them out?
therefore they shall be
your judges.
28. "But if I cast out Devils
by the Spirit of God,
then The Kingdom of God
is come unto you.
29. "Or else how can one
enter into
a Strong Man's House,
and spoil his Goods,
except he first
bind the Strong Man?
And then he will
spoil his House.
30. "He that is not with me
is against me;
and he that
gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
31. "Wherefore I Say
unto you,

'ALL MANNER
OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
SHALL BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN:
BUT THE BLASPHEMY
AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST
SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN.'

32. "And whosoever
speaketh a word
against The Son of Man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against The Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this World,
neither in the World to come.
33. "Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known
by his fruit.
34. "O generation of Vipers,
how can ye,
being evil,
speak good things?
For out of the abundance
of the heart
the mouth speaketh.
35. "A Good man
out of the Good Treasure
of the heart
bringeth forth Good Things:
and an Evil man
out of the Evil Treasure
bringeth forth Evil Things.
36. "But I Say unto you,

'THAT EVERY IDLE WORD
THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK,
THEY SHALL GIVE
ACCOUNT THEREOF
IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.' “

37. "For by thy words
thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."

I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO ESCAPE THE FORFEITURE OF YOUR SOUL- BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF YOU "HIDDEN SNAKES/SNEAKING SERPENTS" TYPES REPENT BEFORE.

If it had ever happened in the past 2,000 years or so, we should have all heard about it.

. DEUTERONOMY 18:15-22.

5. The LORD thy God will
raise up unto thee
a Prophet from
the midst of thee,
of thy Brethren,
like unto Me;
unto him ye shall hearken;
16. According to all
that thou desiredst
of The LORD thy God
in Horeb in
the Day of the Assembly,
saying,

"LET ME NOT HEAR AGAIN
THE VOICE OF THE LORD MY GOD,
NEITHER LET ME SEE
THIS GREAT FIRE ANY MORE,
THAT I DIE NOT."

17. And The LORD Said unto me,

"THEY HAVE WELL SPOKEN
THAT WHICH THEY HAVE SPOKEN.
18. "I WILL RAISE THEM UP A PROPHET
FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN,
LIKE UNTO THEE,
AND WILL PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH;
AND HE SHALL SPEAK UNTO THEM
ALL THAT I SHALL COMMAND HIM.
19. "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS,
THAT WHOSOEVER
WILL NOT HEARKEN
UNTO MY WORDS
WHICH HE SHALL SPEAK
IN MY NAME,
I WILL REQUIRE IT OF HIM.”

20. But the prophet,
which shall presume
to speak a word in My Name,
which I have not
commanded him to speak,
or that shall speak
in the name of other gods,
even that prophet shall die.
21. "And if thou say in thine heart,

'HOW SHALL WE
KNOW THE WORD
WHICH THE LORD
HATH NOT SPOKEN?'

22. When a prophet speaketh
in The Name of The LORD,
if the thing follow not,
nor come to pass,
that is the thing which
The LORD hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath
spoken it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of him.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ANOINTED-OF-GOD TO US IS LORD YESHUA.

Neither you nor the Pharisees believed that, therefore, none of you could be Saved.

■Matthew 23-27 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels. And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi

psalm 105: 15 "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

I am not certain what the confusion really is here.

1 Then Jesus spoke to the people and to his followers. He said,
2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees have the authority to tell you what the Law of Moses says.
3 So you should obey them. Do everything they tell you to do. But their lives are not good examples for you to follow. They tell you to do things, but they don’t do those things themselves.
4 They make strict rules that are hard for people to obey. They try to force others to obey all their rules. But they themselves will not try to follow any of those rules. - Matthew 23 vs 1 - 4

The second says something entirely different from what the first is driving at.

4 Depend on the Lord for strength. Always go to him for help.
5 Remember the amazing things he has done. Remember his miracles and his fair decisions.
6 You belong to the family of his servant Abraham. You are descendants of Jacob, the people God chose.
7 The Lord is our God. He rules the whole world.
8 He will remember his agreement forever. He will always keep the promises he made to his people.
9 He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and the promise he made to Isaac.
10 He gave it as a law to Jacob. He gave it to Israel as an agreement that will last forever!
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan. It will be your very own.”
12 At the time God said this, there were only a few of his people, and they were strangers there.
13 They traveled around from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 But the Lord did not let anyone mistreat them. He warned kings not to harm them.
15 He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people. Don’t harm my prophets.” - Psalm 115 vs 4 - 15

God made the above statement, not of your mogs and pastors, but regarding all of the descendants of Jacob along with the prophets of Israel.

coolcharm:
■ An interpreter of the law or a teacher does not pass for the annointed of God. Even Jesus had to be annointed of God with the holy spirit before his ministry kicked off. Before then, he knew the law of Moses for example, could teach it and interpret it. Annointing is not a status or label you wear on around your neck or forehead... It is a state of fellowship with the holy spirit - where you (or any body for that matter) are in sync with the mind and will of God.

Say what now?

Look, God gave the warning documented in Psalm 115 to the Kings and nations of the lands through which He led the people of Israel. That is what is written in the context of that Psalm if you would all open your eyes to believe God rather than the deluded interpretations your pastors and mogs continue to feed you with abeg!

4 Depend on the Lord for strength. Always go to him for help.
5 Remember the amazing things he has done. Remember his miracles and his fair decisions.
6 You belong to the family of his servant Abraham. You are descendants of Jacob, the people God chose.
7 The Lord is our God. He rules the whole world.
8 He will remember his agreement forever. He will always keep the promises he made to his people.
9 He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and the promise he made to Isaac.
10 He gave it as a law to Jacob. He gave it to Israel as an agreement that will last forever!
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan. It will be your very own.”
12 At the time God said this, there were only a few of his people, and they were strangers there.
13 They traveled around from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 But the Lord did not let anyone mistreat them. He warned kings not to harm them.
15 He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people. Don’t harm my prophets.” - Psalm 105 vs 4 - 15

God's chosen people are Israel, and His prophets are Israelites. The interpretation fed to you by your pastors and mogs is obviously lie.
