Introduction

The church is not all it could be, but what do we measure it against? We're looking at jesus woes to the pharisees and his critique of false religion. The teaching text is matthew 23, verses 27, 28: woe to you teachers of the law andPharisees,. You are like whitewashed tombs. In numbers, apter 19, it says this, any one out in the open who touches someone who has been killed with a sword will be unclean for seven days.
