Isaiah 29:13
29:13 The sovereign master says,
“These people say they are loyal to me;
they say wonderful things about me,
but they are not really loyal to me.
Their worship consists of
nothing but man-made ritual.
Isaiah 29:18
29:18 At that time the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll,
and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.
Daniel 11:37
11:37 He will not respect
the gods of his fathers – not even the god loved by women.
He will not respect any god; he will elevate himself above them all.
Matthew 15:3-9
15:3 He answered them,
“And why do you disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
15:4 For God said,
‘
Honor your father and mother’
and ‘
Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’
15:5 But you say, ‘If someone tells his father or mother, “Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,”
15:6 he does not need to honor his father.’
You have nullified the word of God on account of your tradition.
15:7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said,
15:8 ‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me,
15:9 and they worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Mark 7:7-13
7:7 They worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’
7:8 Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”
7:9 He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.
7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’
7:11 But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’ (that is, a gift for God),
7:12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.
7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”
Titus 1:14
1:14 and not pay attention to Jewish myths
and commands of people who reject the truth.
Revelation 17:18
17:18 As for
the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”
