In the Parable of the Sower, The Messiah identifies several characteristics that will hinder belief.

#3 – The Hypocrisy of the Pharisees – Matthew 23
Mat 23:1-4 Then Yahusha spoke to the crowds and to His taught ones, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Mosheh. Therefore, whatever they say to you to guard, guard and do. But do not do according to their works, for they say, and do not do.” The Master is explaining…
The Parable of The Bride & The Whore
Matthew 13:24-30 Another parable He put before them, saying, “The reign of the heavens has become like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel among the wheat and went away. And when the blade sprouted and bore fruit, then the darnel also appeared….

Why do we have to address this question? Because the same false assumptions exist today! Verse 17a “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or…
