We read in Matthew 15:12-14: "Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Jesus was the best preacher to ever live. He was the only perfect preacher! Yet he offended the scribes and Pharisees. I suggest unto you that they loved their traditions more than they loved God.
