nJesus criticized the
Pharisees of his day in
n Matthew 15:8,9
n (8) " `These people honor me with their
lips,
n but their hearts
are far from me.
n (9) They worship me in vain;
n their teachings
are but rules taught by
n men.' “
n Jesus does not say that they do not worship.
n He says their worship is in vain.
n Vain worship is worship that is
n UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD!
