“Ye...strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.”~ Matt. 23:2.
This type is more interested in dotting the “i’s” than spelling the word right. They major on minors. They’re sticklers for details but blind to principles. They are troubled over little things but pay no attention to greater matters.
There is a segment in Christendom today that is more concerned with their religious rites than with being right. This kind is interested only in the “letter of the law,” not the unseen Spirit behind it. Being externally proper is more important than being internally pure. The applause of man is their goal not the approval of God.
He eats an elephant, and is suffocated by a gnat.
(Arabian Proverb)
