MY WORD
Mark 7:6–9 (AMP)
6 But He said to them, Excellently and truly [so that there
will be no room for blame] did Isaiah prophesy of you, the pretenders and
hypocrites, as it stands written: These people [constantly] honor Me with their
lips, but their hearts hold off and are far distant from Me.
7 In vain (fruitlessly and without profit) do they worship Me,
ordering and teaching [to be
obeyed] as doctrines the commandments and
precepts of men. [Isa. 29:13.]
8 You disregard and give up and ask to depart from
you the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men [keeping it
carefully and faithfully].
9 And He said to them, You have a fine way of rejecting [thus
thwarting and nullifying and doing away with] the commandment of God in order
to keep your tradition (your own human regulations)!
Isaiah 29:13 (AMP)
13 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with
their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and
minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by
repetition [without any thought as to the meaning],
Isaiah 29:13 (The Living Bible)
13And so the Lord says, “Since these
people say they are mine but they do not obey me, and since their worship amounts to mere words learned
by rote,
Isaiah 29:13–14 (Tanakh)
13My Lord said:
Because that people has approached [Me] with its mouth
And honored Me with its lips,
But has kept its heart far from Me,
And its worship of Me has
been
A commandment of men, learned
by rote—
14Truly, I shall further baffle that
people
With bafflement upon bafflement;
And the wisdom of its wise shall fail,
And the prudence of its prudent shall vanish.
Matthew 15:12–14 (The Living Bible)
12Then the disciples came and told
him, “You offended the Pharisees by that remark.”
13-14Jesus replied, “Every plant not
planted by my Father shall be rooted up, so ignore them. They are blind guides
leading the blind, and both will fall into a ditch.”
Colossians 2:6–10 (The Living Bible)
6And now just as you trusted Christ
to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with
him. 7Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from
him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in
the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving
for all he has done.
8Don’t let others spoil your faith
and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and ideas, instead
of on what Christ has said. 9For in Christ there is all of God in a
human body; 10so you have everything when you have Christ,
and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest
Ruler, with authority over every other power.
Colossians 2:8 (AMP)
8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes
you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism
and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than
the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and
elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ
(the Messiah).
[Please Note: Always Read
the Word of God in Context asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you
the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20–21
(NASB95) 20But know this
first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21for no prophecy was ever made
by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
