*****FROM THE INSIDE OUT, Matthew 15*****

"Hear and understand:

 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man;

but what comes out of the mouth, 

this defiles a man" 

     When the disciples said the Pharisees were offended when

they heard this saying,  the Lord responded with...

"Every plant which My heavenly Father has

not planted will be uprooted.  Let them alone

They are blind leaders of the blind.  And if

the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 

At this point, they asked Him to explain 
the parable and Jesus said...

"Are you also still without understanding?  Do you  

not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth

goes into the stomach and is eliminated? But
those things which proceed out of the mouth come
from the heart, and they defile a man."

"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with
unwashed hands does not defile a man."

     Jewish leaders did not eat without washing their hands; a

tradition of their elders.  When they confronted the Lord with a

complaint that His disciples did not wash their hands, according

to their tradition, He responded with; 

"Why do you also transgress  the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother;and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'  But you say, 'whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God' -- 'then he need not honor his 

father or mother.'  Thus you have made the commandment of God

 of no effect by your Tradition.  Hypocrites!  Well did Isaiah 

prophesy about you, saying:  'These people draw near to me with their mouth.  And honor me with their lips, But their heart is far

from me, and in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the

commandments of men." 

So, deceived or not, one who preaches any other Gospel
than the Gospel found in God's Word, is a false prophet,
and will receive the same condemnation. Good intentions 
do not guarantee good results
