Neither then, by the Jew, nor now by the “JW” and many who call
themselves ‘Christian’.
The verse right above that says very clearly, “Ye hypocrites, well did
Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But
in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of
men.” (Mat 15:7-9, KJV)
With Jesus clearly stating the scriptures, which they were all familiar with,
and reconciling that with their ongoing present actions of that day.
Pomposity at its finest, their commandments of theology, just like some
‘christians’ do today, commanding others do and behave according to their
carnal minds and theologies. Even the JW’s who try and claim that Yeshua
and Jehovah are not one and the same, yet they are not instructors of the
Mosaic law covenant, nor are they teaching the religious ways of the Jews, as
God commanded them to do, but instead are pretending to be disciples of Jesus
the Messiah, and teaching His doctrines, albeit highly modified, deceivingly
so, and as such Yeshua will deny them before his Heavenly Father. Thus their
religion is false, and is of ‘another gospel’ of which Paul stipulated
that they are accursed.
Gal 1:8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other
gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Strong words are they, and full of meaning. However, this was not directed
solely to the JW, but to all men who are false prophets, teachers, etc. who
deny that Jesus is Lord.
When you followed the commands of the RCC that were decided by men and became
their traditions established of who, when, and how to worship those were the
precepts of men, and they you jumped from the frying pan into the fire, like
the proverbial frog being boiled to death. And you heed not the warnings of
Scripture, nor those around you pointing them out along with the errors of
the JW org.
