In this episode, Scott and John explore the enduring influence of the Pharisees—religious leaders Jesus openly condemned for their hypocrisy. But the spirit behind their actions didn’t die in the first century. It’s alive today, operating through modern religious systems rooted in man-made tradition, spiritual blindness, and rebellion against God’s truth.

Tracing the lineage of deception from Cain to the Pharisees and forward to today’s untoward generation, the hosts reveal how false religion continues to shape doctrine, confuse believers, and prepare the world for even greater apostasy.Key Topics Covered

Pharisees as religious deceivers and blind guides
What Scripture calls an “untoward generation” (Acts 2:40)

Takeaway
Religious tradition alone will not save you. The way of Cain—rooted in pride, self-righteousness, and man-made worship—lives on through religious systems that reject God’s truth in favor of appearance and control. The Pharisees were called vipers and children of the devil for a reason: they promoted religion over righteousness.

Now more than ever, we must be discerning. True faith is evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit—justice, mercy, love—not religious performance. Stay rooted in the gospel of grace and the rightly divided Word of God.

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” – Matthew 11:15
