    Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 

    And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 

    For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 

    Their hearts were not right. Notice that?

    Their hearts had waxed gross.

    Repentance leads to truth.

    ...For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

    That's a good point; we have to be on guard against adopting the attitudes he criticized. Fortunately, we have Jesus' criticisms to guide us. 

     

     

    Some were all rules and relics and rosaries; others were all drab clothes, long faces, and petty traditional abstinences from wine or cards or the theatre. Both had in common their self-righteousness and the almost infinite distance between their actual outlook and anything the Enemy really is or commands. The wickedness of other religions was the really live doctrine in the religion of each; slander was its gospel and denigration its litany. 

    -- C.S. Lewis, "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" 

     

    [In case it's not clear, Screwtape is a fictional demon, and God is the one he refers to as "the Enemy." He's just discovered, after criticizes the quality of the damned souls comprising the banquet, that the wine for the formal toast is Pharisee, a vintage still in good supply.]

    Jesus warned us against taking on Pharisaical attitudes and practices.  Unfortunately, many Christians don't understand the warning and how it applies to them now.

    We have something the Pharisees didn’t. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church.

    The fact of the matter: They did not know the bible like God The Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior did that is why he educated them, and they still did not believe him because God hardened their hearts, the law of God only does one thing it condemns mankind to eternal death but it can not save man, God saves us by grace only, we fell from the grace of God and we have to be saved by the grace of God, read Colossians 2:13, Ephesians 2:1-10, read Psalm 51:17, read Acts 4:12
