The Spirit. :)
True God's Spirit is the Spirit of the truth of Gods' Word right *John 6:63; John 17:17. So what is it in the Word of God that leads us to the foot of the cross and what do you think the meaning of Matthew 9:12-13 is?

The Spirit leads us to Christ through the hearing of the Gospel. He is not on the cross anymore though.

In Matthew, well, the Pharisees thought they were righteous because they thought they kept the law.

Jesus let them know that self righteous people like themselves will never repent because they believe they are already believing what they should.

On the other hand, people who know they are unrighteous know they need Him. They are the only ones who can believe in Christ because they do not believe in themselves.

I already told you what Jesus was saying in Matthew? I prefaced it with “In Matthew...”

Jesus is the Word of God. It is His grace that draws us via the Spirit.

If I do not know what?
I asked you if you know the meaning of Matthew 9:12-13 not what the scriptures say around it.

Jesus says to the scribes and the Pharisees when they asked him why is he eating and associating with the Publicans and sinners...

Matthew 9:12-13 [12] But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. [13], But go you and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

I asked you do you know what that scripture means?

I suppose if we want to view it from the Pharisees point, they would have ‘hopefully’ gone back and looked at Hosea 6:6.

They would have hopefully seen then that God wants our love, not our trying to be good enough for Him.

They would have read the passage and see that God considers their love very shallow.

The answer is in my previous posts.

Is it because the answer is not the same one you would give?

I could see if you said I did not give the answer your looking for, but to say I did not answer is very strange to me.

You did indeed answer. Your answer however doesn't show the meaning of the scripture. It's ok thanks for trying I will post more on it latter through the scriptures.
