Pharisees of old were Christian. They did not recognize the Christ. Blinded by self rightiousness,their pride was deadly.
Same as it ever was: the tale is an eternal lesson.
‘Pharisees’....like the poor...will always be with us: among all nominal, and actual, “Christians” The survey gets answers to irrational, ignorant questions....from equally ignorant participants. Just more Pharisees painting Christ and Christians as worthy of scorn....at least , and death...at worst.
Same as it ever was.......same as it ever was. No news here.
It’s important to remember that Jesus was a Pharisee. He was regularly referred to as “rabbi”, and the Pharisees were then the only branch of Judaism “ordaining” rabbis through the practice of “simicha”, or the laying on of hands. Their practices essentially developed into modern Judaism.
