Me? Wasnt my post. Was unaware it was my duty to piggyback on other peoples posts.
Duly noted.
The verses mentioned are discussing, in symbolic language, those who outwardly talk the talk of living a moral God fearing life.
But inwardly they are spiritually dead and bring forth no good fruits. It is a warning that God not only knows this, but will not hold them guiltless for such fraud. It was directly spoken as a warning to the jews, but also to all mankind.
I hope that fulfilled my obligation to "discuss anything about it" you assigned me.
