Matthew 15:9 has a rather scary sound to it doesn't it? And if you were in that particular crowd you had a right to think that it sounded scary, but I wanted to bring out the underlying point Jesus is getting across to this hard hearted bunch. Here's the verse again:
9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
The reason I included the verse in Isaiah is that it is the section of scripture Jesus is referring to as he is speaking to them. He is also addressing a specific question they are asking, if you'll be so kind as to read this section of scripture in your bible you'll know what is going on. Matt 15:1 - 20
So why am I writing about it? The underlying point of Jesus discussion with the scribes and Pharisees is the lack of a true rendering of God's word. Read it through and you'll see what I mean.
Is truth from the heart what you really want?
Then you are in the right book at the right time. The bible you hold in your hand deals exclusively with truth from the heart God to us.
