Unto the pure all things are pure but unto them that are defiled and Unbelieving is nothing pure but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Don't miss that. What is he saying? It's no question why verse 15 comes after verse 14 where he talks about what they said. He's basically saying this look When Paul and Titus see Cretans, what do they see them as potential pastors? laborers Churches a place where good works can be done, right? When the Pharisees see the Cretans, where do they see? Oh, they're just liars evil beasts slow bellies Why because unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure So when they look at lost people or when they look at Christians, you know on the island of Crete What do they see? They see a bunch of wicked people why because they see a reflection of themselves They're trying to project that which they are What are the Pharisees liars? evil beasts, right and slow bellies What does slow belly means it means they're lazy, you know, like Jesus said about the Pharisees They're not even willing to you know, they command people to keep the law, but they themselves won't even do it with their own finger They won't even keep the commandments that they're telling people to keep they're lazy themselves, right?
