Do you see the similarity between: Protestants and Pharisees. A short Bible passage shows Jesus doing good and the Pharisees hating Him for it.
Mark 3:1-6. “Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse Him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here before us.”
Then He said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?”
But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put Him to death.”
Today, millions of unborn children are destroyed every year, sacrificed on the altar of convenience. The Church Jesus Founded has been Pro-Life since the beginning. But, with Pro-Life people scattered among 40,000 silly schisms, it is impossible to summon the political influence to stop abortion.
We know what our future Judge thought of the Pharisees who would not heal the man with the withered hand. He “looked at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart.”
Today, that same “hardness of heart” keeps those who run the schisms from saying “Stopping abortion is more important than my job as minister in our little group. I am becoming a Catholic and I urge you do to so, as well.”
What of those who will not do that? Modern Pharisees will go to Judgment. This passage is clear: they must stand before a Jesus Who feels “anger” at hardness of heart.
