Zone1 The Protestant Jesus and the Catholic Jesus

[Woodznutz]

Lots---read the book again

He was always at odds with the Pharisees, and he was never a member of the sect of the Pharisees. And neither he nor anyone else ever referred to him as a Pharisee. Almost every principle religious figure in the NT is introduced with a formal religious descriptor or title, everyone except Jesus.

He was always at odds with the Pharisees, and he was never a member of the sect of the Pharisees. And neither he nor anyone else ever referred to him as a Pharisee. Almost every principle religious figure in the NT is introduced with a formal religious descriptor or title, everyone except Jesus.

He was a pharisee, nevertheless. Do you have any idea how to characterize
PHARISEES? btw----there was no Pharisee registry. It is more likely that anyone
who was a SADDUCEE or a SAMARITAN would be so described. Do you know what CAIAPHAS ---the "high priest" was----or Herod, the king How about John--DA BAPTIST? How about the "money changers" in the temple courtyard or Matthew
who is described as a "tax collector" . All of them are described in some way that is a clue. In the easter and christmas dramatizations I saw as a child---(put on by
the local catholic school) two ROBBERS were crucified side by side with Jesus---
what would they have been?
