I see you read a book.Show me the Scripture.The bible does not say that John the Baptist and Jesus were Pharisees.[/QUOTEwell -----you got that one right-----John was a PHARISEE like Jesus----
the people that the ROMAN SHILLS like Herod disliked. The roman shills
liked the sadducees a LOT BETTER because the romans liked them and
they did not resist the filth of the "holy roman empire". For the record---
the sadducees WERE Israelites--------but traitors sorta
yes It does.------you just MISSED it because you have an UNPREPARED
mind
they were Pharisees by with whom they socialized and with whom they OPPOSED and by what THEY PREACHED AND SAID AND DID. Jesus
was around Pharisees all his life and they "HATED HIM AND WANTED
TO KILL HIM" <<<<what a joke----what was stopping them? the romans
would not care. The Pharisees were INCENSED over the presence of
money changers in the temple courtyard. Jesus just decided to
do the Pharisees a BIG FAVOR. The Pharisees and Caiaphas hated
each other-----so Caiaphas just decided to do the Pharisees a big favor?
Jesus quoted HILLEL the Pharisee Talmudist INCESSANTLY-----because
Pharisees hated him?
