"…to even confess Him would a-been to--to be put out of the synagogues. And then if you’re out from the church, they--they thought you had no--no chance for redemption. If you didn’t belong to one of their sect, like Pharisee, Sadducee, or something, there was no redemption if you was outside of that. And if they had the right, the keys, and they could just kick you out if they wanted to. That was their own saying. No wonder Jesus said, “You, by your tradition, has made the Word of God of no effect.” See?
And now it’s repeated again, ‘cause we all know history repeats itself every so often. And it’s sad to say, but it was prophesied to repeat, and it has done it again."
