He really didnt like them, they were in the same category as Pharisees and scribes.
I find it interesting that, when he was arrested, no lawyer came to defend him. Probably they would only do it if they got paid a handsome sum.
This seems kinda weird given that in some circles, lawyers are highly respected and a profession that many people seem to want aspire to?! And it seems half of them decide they dont want to be lawyers after a while and become politicians. The others just go into writing crime novels.
what kind of person really wants to grow up to be...a lawyer? Are there christian lawyers? If so I have never encountered any, and I meet people of all types at church.
The thing with doctors is they really cannot cut corners, and have to tell it like it is, for they are dealing with physical problems of people, although they could lie like a mechanic that will lie to people that such things are needed for their automobile, but might not be true, which doctors for the most part would be on the level.
And politicians will lie about certain things, especially when it is time to be elected, and seem like they are only interested in exalting themselves in their position than to do what is right, and might take money that does not belong to them.
Judges can be bribed, side with a lawyer they like so the person that is with them gets off the hook.
Police can be bribed, and although it is good for the majority of what they do among a lot of them, they appear to not all uphold the law, for how many are actually going to bust grandma, and grandpa, and mom and dad, and relatives, and friends, but they will show them favor in their speeding, and drug use, and stealing, although some may still bust them if it is for a more serious offense.
But all police appear to be crooked for they bust people that do something wrong, while letting off dear sweet grandma who did the same, and lovable brother who has cocaine on him, so in that case they do not uphold the law like they should.
For you know that they will have to let those people off the hook lest they do not want anybody to associate with them, and they care about them too much to bust them.
Seeking no truth, winning is all, appears to be the case for lawyers, for they seem to not care if the person is actually guilty in the case of defense, and innocent in the case of prosecuting, but it seems like it is a game that they are trying to defend, and prosecute, regardless of the situation, although it might be rare that some will do what is right, but then they care about their record of wins.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
Not many people are called that have certain positions in society, for their heart condition is not right, for they care too much about exalting themselves above other people, and thinking they are something special instead of being humble.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but some were not as bad as others when in the world so they are called, but some exalt themselves too much above other people, and are arrogant to be called.
Luk 7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luk 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Luk 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Luk 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Joh 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Joh 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Joh 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Luk 11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Mat 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
The Pharisees, and Sadducees, and scribes, and lawyers, liked to exalt themselves too much above other people, and were arrogant thinking themselves better than the common person, and wanted to give glory to themselves.
So they have their reward, and it is according to the course of this world.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
The lawyers must of fit in to this category going hand in hand with the Pharisees in their exalting themselves in their high positions in society.
And how do we view lawyers today, for they appear to be more of an exalting nature than those that are a doctor, or business person.
Seeking no truth, winning is all, and they will clutch at straws, and come up with anything to win their case.
For once they get the case they do not sit down, and try to figure out if the person is innocent when prosecuting, but they try to find ways that the person is guilty, and will use anything to try to prove it, and have no care whether they are innocent or not.
And once they get the case they do not sit down, and try to figure out if the person is guilty when defending, but they will try to find ways that the person is innocent, and will use anything to try to prove it, and have no care whether they are guilty or not.
Which I will not say all, but many will do it if not for the vast amount of money alone, but to see if they can do it, win the case out of arrogance, and will think it is their job regardless of guilty, or innocent, which would make it a flawed system, but for the most part would work good, but they will tend to clutch at straws, and may even falsify things.
Which is why many think they are blood sucking leaches, and crooked, and dishonest.
Whenever there is 2 opposing forces going against each other to win, and be on top, there will be dishonesty, crookedness, arrogance, and lies, to come out on top, and they will clutch at straws, and come up with any little thing they can to win, even lying, and come as close as they can to the truth to try to make it seem as if it is not a lie, so they can win.
The devil uses that tactic to try to cause people to not believe the truth by making it seem as close to the truth as possible, but not really the truth, and then if they take the bait the lies will become more perverted, and farther from the truth as time goes on following the pattern of the first lie as it went along that line of lie.
The devil is using that tactic with the new age movement that has a false interpretation of the Bible that the world will one day accept, and will pave the way to the beast kingdom, and the New Age Christ, for the devil could never deceive the world unless there is a false interpretation of the Bible, and there would never be a false interpretation of the Bible to that extreme that the world accepted if God did not let them have their way to cause the wicked to rebel against Him so He can put them down.
And evolution is the deception, and it gets worse in falsehood, and lies, as time goes by, for it is subtle at first, and then gets worse, for when evolution first came out, and the beliefs about it, are not the same as they are today with the beliefs about it, for now people are not done evolving, but are still evolving to be greater, and spiritual, in the future, and be like the man Jesus that evolved.
Fighting verbally is like a boxing match with jabs, uppercuts, right hooks, left crosses, flurries, and the knockout punch, as they use different tactics, and angles to win the fight.
When people argue it is like that as they come forth with their initial statement on each side, such as a husband and wife that fights, but if it does not pan out, they will word it differently, come up with little things, clutch at straws, even make not that much sense at times, to support their side, and be on top.
And will keep going back and forth, such as we see on Christianchat to where hardly anybody changes their minds, but keep going back and forth, as they deliver blow after blow of jabs, uppercuts, right hooks, left crosses, flurries, and going for the knockout punch, as they use different tactics, and angles to win the fight.
All the while one side has to be ignoring scriptures for there cannot be 2 opposing forces that are both right.
If they do it among the people that claim the Bible is true, and claim Jesus, you know for sure they will do it in the world among the lawyers with supposedly lower morals.
