Jesus Warned Seriously About There Own Religious Leaders. False Religion ?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

The disciples were all familiar with Torah,  and the faithful heard Torah read every Shabbat.

What was the problem Jesus identified then, and warned so seriously about ?  

Did Jesus warn them about buddhism, islam, babylon, sihkism, or any such -isms at the time ? About any of the other religions on earth ?  

I don't remember Him doing so.

But concerning the religion of His Own Family,  His Own people,  of His Present Disciples, 

Jesus gave the warning :   beware of the leaven of the religious teachers. 

It may still be the most important warning today ?

I don't believe Islam had been invented yet at the time of Jesus. What Jesus said was "beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees". They were twisting and misrepresenting the true God into something He wasn't. They were using scripture to teach a religion of works and were counting on their "good deeds" to make them acceptable with God. They were also using religion to abuse and control people who were not as "holy" as they perceived themselves to be.

The actions and teachings of present-day Islamists would be pretty close to that, seeing that they look down on non-muslims as unclean "infidels" and often kill them.  "Allah" is a false representation of the true God, some say a holdover from "moon god" worship, quite a sadistic, selfish and evil 'god' actually.  At any rate it's a man-made representation of God no better than the one the Pharisees portrayed. In other words, if a religious zealot is a greedy, selfish, lecherous, prideful cut-throat like Mohammed was, his concept of god will be the same. Again, the Pharisees and Sadducees made their own false religion too, but theirs was by misrepresenting and misinterpreting the Word of God; not by any fault of the Word of God itself.

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man.......
