Pharisee

1 “You see him standing up to the Pharisees. He would have been able to give it right back on the field.”

2 There is only one word for the kind of fraudulent pretense for which Jesus attacked the scribes and Pharisees.

3 The anti-everything Christianity we find on television, radio and in print would remind Jesus much more of the Pharisees than it would remind him of the people actually following his teachings.

4 As with the Pharisees of the time of Jesus, these evangelical leaders formed a group because their version of the faith was being pushed aside.

5 But once or twice he got absolutely furious, and it was always about the same thing: the religious elite, who in his day were the Pharisees.

6 Like modern-day Pharisees, the “Christ-only” Christmas people dig in their heels and thump their holy book, refuting faith, hope and love with distracting technicalities, legalistic interpretations and references to allegory and symbolism.

7 He was alluding to scripture, where the Pharisees accuse Jesus of being from Satan because he cast out devils.

8 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

这法利赛人看见耶稣饭前不洗手 、 便诧异.

9 Instead, they’ve become some of the shrillest Pharisees in the right’s culture war, especially against anything that resembles embracing LGBTQ+ folks.

10 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!" says Jesus in Matthew 23.

11 The Pharisees have brought a woman caught in the act of infidelity before Jesus, who was teaching at the temple.

12 But the Pharisee, noticing that Jesus did not first wash before the meal, was surprised.

这法利赛人看见耶稣饭前不洗手, 便诧异.

13 Three windows of the church have stained glass—the birth of Christ, Lazarus raised from the dead, and the teaching of those fool Pharisees.

14 First off, their true ancestors are the Pharisees of the New Testament, whom Jesus describes as being obsessed with legalistic questions but neglecting "the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness."

15 The answer lies within the people that the church has typically ignored, while revealing the hypocrisy of the leadership and expose the modern-day Pharisees, a role now being played by evangelical leadership.

16 Unfortunately, that has been the Caps’ response to playoff losses since Biblical times, when they blew a two-game lead to the Pharisees.

17 During his lifetime, Josephus tells us, the three principal sects of the Jews were the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes.

18 The Pharisee movement arose during a time of perceived or actual moral decadence in the Roman Empire, which the evangelicals also believe is occurring today in America.

19 Jesus Christ died on the cross because the Pharisees of His day were upholding their law, not the spirit.

20 Watch out for other drivers, practice a little give-and-take and don’t be a Pharisee as to who has the right of way.
