I think they're about preachers/ Christian leaders in general. Basically the first verse refers to a preacher, who , despite his own personal issues, points out the flaws and short comings of others, condemning them to Hell for possibly many of the same "sins" he himself commits. Ted Haggard comes to mind... I believe the second verse refers to the preacher thinking he is the only one worthy of passing through the gates of heaven because he lives a "righteous" life because he has discovered the Seven (deadly sins).
