Gee, I wonder what the judaizers here think about this.

It's nice to know that in a world where "anti-Semitism" is allegedly so powerful charge that the entire world is quivering in fear of being accused of it, that "Judaizers" and "Pharisees" are still fair game.

To be fair, most of the world actually relishes being called anti-semites! It is only in America (and sadly that may change soon) that being called an anti-semite is derogatory.

Personally (as a Christian) calling someone a Pharisee is more about strict legalism that (as a Christian) we are called away from.

The funny thing is that evangelicals often mutter “Pharisee” under their breath when talking about those who would give us a rigid list like: “Christians cannot drink, Christians shouldn’t dance, Christians shouldn’t listen to Rock and Roll music, etc...” more than I’ve ever heard that refer to someone with a Jewish background.

There is nothing wrong with the words "Judaizer" or "Pharisee." A "Judiazer" refers to a non-Jew who adopts all or part of Jewish law voluntarily, while not fully accepting Judaism. It's a perfectly fine term. In fact, I can't really think of any better term to describe Christian sects that do things like keep the Sabbath or the laws of Kashrut.

Modern Rabbinic Jews are all Pharisees. Heck, we're proud of it.
