Why Jesus Regarded
His Predecessor Minister As Thieves

And there are so many of them today.

The Presentations
         Jesus said that many before Him were thieves. And I add that not only many before Him, but also many during and after Him were thieves. Here are the reasons:
  1. They teach what they do not know about, pretending to be teaching the Truth. That is why Jesus was often calling them hypocrites, and warned people about the leaven of the Pharisess, which is the false teachings of the ignorant religious leaders.

  2. They were not spiritually awake, enlightened and experienced. Therefore, they misinterpret spiritual statements that are in the holy books.

  3. They discourage and prevent people from seeking, finding and knowing the Truth.

  4. They neither enter into the kingdom of heaven, nor allow those who want to enter to do so. 13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees (religious leaders), hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Matthew 23:13-14

  5. Instead of helping people to worship God in spirit and in truth, they introduced all kinds of religions, which are nothing but the multiplicity of idolatry. 15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:15

  6. They soon develop all kinds of man-made doctrines and routines, which they use to replace God’s commandments, without the public knowing that such a thing is happening. The man-made doctrines and routines are their own personal opinions and collective decisions made at meetings, councils, synods and conferences.

    8 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
    And honor Me with their lips,
    But their heart is far from Me.
    9 And in vain they worship Me,
    Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
    Matthew 15:8-9

  7. They use human reasoning in interpreting spiritual statements.

  8. A study of spiritual science shall show you how the religious leaders mispresent God and mislead ignorant masses into the hell fire. That is why I say that "Every minister of God, who is not trained in Spiritual Science, is like a thief stealing from vineyard of God. And all the souls stolen by them end up in the hell fire."

  9. They do not differentiate between holy and unholy things, and do not distinguish between clean and unclean things, thereby messing up worship, to the neglect of holiness.
