2) Interpretation of the Law became the Law to them.
Matthew 15:1-9 - 1) They turned their Traditions into the Law of God.
2) Loving Others was set aside in the Name of God.
Matthew 21:23-27 - 1) Deeply Conflicted between Hard Hearts and Fear.
2) They kept Missing Jesus as God's Authority over all.
