Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. The Pharisees were always looking down upon others, as if they were superior to everyone else. Look at this passage where they criticized Jesus for hanging out with tax collectors: Luke 5:30, But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? People with religious spirits are often judging and criticizing others in their thought-lives. They see themselves as holy, righteous, and favored by God, but look down upon others. Religious spirits are more interested in judgment than forgiveness Somebody who has religious spirits will often be more interested in seeing somebody pay or be punished for their wrongdoing, than they are in seeing the person repent and receive the forgiveness and grace of God.
