Psalm 49:20 “Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.”
Micah 3:11 “The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.”
LAWYERS (Nothing good is ever said of them! The bible records only one apparently saved lawyer, Zenas, in Titus 3:13.)
Matthew 22:33-36 “Then one of [the Pharisees] which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him. . . .”
Luke 10:23-29 “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him. . . .” (asking more questions, naturally)
11:37-54 “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” [As a group, these “professionals” are the enemies of God.]
7:29-50 “But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.”
14:1-6 [The Lord puts lawyers and Pharisees in the same category, for the same reason.]
John 5:44 “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another. . . ?”
(The “professionals” try to separate themselves from the common man by dabbling in Latin or Greek, to create an exalted status for themselves, which keeps those not in the club feeling intimidated and dependent upon them.)
JUDGES (Lawyers on the other side of the bench.)
1st Samuel 8:1-5 “And his sons . . . turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
1st Kings 21:1-16 “And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles . . . did as Jezebel had sent unto them. . . .”
Matthew 27:18, 26 Pilate “. . . knew that for envy they had delivered him.” (– but ordered him crucified anyway!)
Luke 23:4 “Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.”
John 19:1-16 “Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.” (The judge is a coward. He loves power, but fears those who have it.)
Acts 24:24-26 Felix “. . . hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him. . . .”
(A nice bribe makes the issues a little clearer to the man in the black moo-moo.)
DOCTORS (Nothing good is ever said of them, except for one, Luke, who became the Lord’s apostle: Colossians 4:14)
2nd Chronicles 16:12 “. . . in his disease [Asa] sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.”
Mark 5:25-27 “a certain woman . . . suffered . . . of many physicians . . . had spent all . . . was nothing bettered. . . .”
POLITICIANS
Matthew 23:1-4 “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”
“MEN OF THE CLOTH” (the “clergy”) (They like to wear black robes just like judges and the Pharisees before them!)
[A warning on this subject is perceived as strange because it is so rare. American “hireling” ministers no longer “watch” (2nd Timothy 4:5) and “warn” (Acts 20:31). They lull their ecumenical “churches” into a sleeping ignorance. What good is a religious “guard dog” that opens the back door and sits in silence while the “thief” lurks within the house “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”? (John 10:10)
Isaiah 56:10 “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark. . . .”
[True “watchmen” of the Lord should be presently yapping themselves hoarse!]
Ezekiel 3:17 “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.”
Matthew 24:43-46 “. . . if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched. . . .”
Isaiah 3:12 “O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”
Matthew 15:1-14 “. . . they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents. . . .”
John 19:10-15 “The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.”
(They hate-Christ and they are comfortable in a fascist system.)
{They are Christ-hating fascists.}
[Modern American “pastors” look eagerly to the “New World Order” for state licensing of ministers. (The Constitutional issue of “freedom of religion” is unimportant to them.) In their godless minds they perceive that having state sanctioned credentials will separate them from those who are ordained of God in truth and Spirit, who refuse such licensing. These will, of course, be rounded up and killed; and the “Christian ministers” who “have no king but Caesar” will be glad to see them gone. (See histories of Russia, China, Spain, Italy, and Germany for reference.)]
7:37-48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?” (They do not believe on him, they reject him.)

Matthew 15:1-14 “. . . they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
Isaiah 56:10-12 “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.”

Most religious folks trust these “professionals” with their most valued possessions:
their wives, their children, their money, their health, their future, and their eternal souls!
