Matt 23: 23 to 32...........Read the whole chapter
23"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. 28In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
What a disgrace the Honorable General Board has become! Removing Pastors just because they voiced an opinion other then theirs.
They dress up in their expensive suits and drive their expensive cars. they may look good and honorable, but inside there is a blacken rot that just gets rottener.
Like the verse says they look like beautiful whitewashed tombs, but inside is the filth of unclean rotting greed and pride, and the hunger for power.
May the Lord have Mercy on them for they will have to give account of what they have done and will do.
For the hermanos that have fallen because of the of the General Board's actions. Their blood will be on the HGB's hands. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes!
