LET'S PRETEND


               Luke 7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace,

               and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you,

               and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have

               not wept.


               Jesus said that the religious people of his day were playing" lets

               pretend" we played our songs and you would not dance and

               when we pretended to cry, you would not grieve with us. Jesus

               said that they were pretenders like children complaining that the

               people would not play with them. They would not join them in

               their groups of pretenders.


               The Pharisees had their group and the Sadducee theirs, the

               Lawyers, priests and Rabbi's everyone had their little group of

               pretenders. They had their separate religious and political ideas.


               Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection,

               neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.


               Yes they all had their denominational beliefs just like today.

               And they were politically motivated people because their

               government and religion was one institution. The Sadducee was

               "sad you see" in their beliefs. They only believed in the flesh,

               they were atheistic but believed in a supreme being.


               Like the democratic party of our day many confessing they

               believe in God, but do not believe in spiritual things. They only

               serve the flesh and the lust of the flesh. They do not believe in
