Main scripture for this study: Matt.23:13
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces.
You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

6. My utmost kindest advice is this!
Please do not pick Ac.4:19 and Ac.5:29 against what I preach here!
For this will show within your soul you have chosen to disobey the will of God!
If you choose to do the will of God you will agree with what I preach here!
Then you have my congratulation! For there is no unrighteousness in you! Jn.7:14-18
May the Lord have mercy on all of us! Written April 22, 2019.
