I never truly understood the depth of the meaning of a “Pharisee of the order of the oral laws of man” until recently when I had the occasion to converse for a couple of weeks with a modern day Jewish Pharisee of the order of the Talmud. It was quite enlightening and most profitable and it ended with mutual respect for each others beliefs on both ends of the spectrum of Scripture interpretation. Neither trying to convert each other, just both displaying the Word of God to support our beliefs.
