Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, "Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? Why do you do things that are wrong and when a churchgoer or born again believer does something that is an antitheses to your value system or traditions of men, it's wrong? Such as when you look down on people and think it is wrong to love all people? Interesting. The bible says that you should love your enemies. Really? What standard does the world go by when they violate humanity, commit inhumane acts against humanity, work deceptively to destroy the lives of individuals and whole families.
Who are these scribes and pharisees? They are the "good" people. Correction. These are people who pose as "good" people while they work deceptively to harass and violate others who "love everybody" and have no respect of persons. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. Jesus came not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. Be aware but do not judge, for as you judge you are judged. In vain they do worship Christ, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. This people draw nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. From Such turn away.
Hear, and understand: it is not that which goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, that defiles a man. Then came Jesus' disciples, and said that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? And so it is that the "good" people are offended when you don't join their corrupt, deceitful and covert activities designed to destroy your life and the lives of others. Jesus said, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
The Pharisees with the Sadducees came, and with all subtlety asked Jesus if He would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is cloudy. You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but you can not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign; and there shall no sign be given. Either you believe God's Word or you don't. See you not all these things? (Matthew 24) There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (Matthew 16)

John the Baptist condemned the Pharisees and Sadducees as a “brood of vipers” in Matthew 3:7. A “brood of vipers” is a “family of snakes.” Because vipers are venomous, John was essentially calling the religious leaders “deadly sons of serpents.” It’s quite a bold denunciation—and one Jesus repeated to the Pharisees in Matthew 12:34.

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
