The Seven Woes:
Beginning with Matthew 23:13, Jesus outlined the seven ways scribes and Pharisees angered God. Which of these apply to religious leaders today?
1) Leading a life that keeps them from entering the Kingdom of heaven and leading others astray (23:13).
2) Leading people, not to God, but to be a sinner like them (23:15).
3) Encouraging people to follow man-made laws instead of the word of God (23:16-22).
4) Concentrating on the minor details of religion while neglecting the important lessons, like justice, mercy, and faith (23:23-24).
5) Keeping up false appearances to hide their hypocrisy (23:25-26).
6) Acting holy while concealing their sins (23:27-28).
7) Pretending to have learned from the past but living like they've learned nothing (23:29-36).
