Q: Do you guys suppose the Pharisees *recognized* how far off base they were from God's heart?

[quote:Anonymous Coward 7254491:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTMwMDQzXzIyRkZDOEY4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 8788578:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTI5ODA5X0U4M0REMzYw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 15821354:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTI5NzY5X0I1M0IzM0RC] Guys and Gals, I don't want to destroy your faith here, but I hope you do realize that any religious historian with at least a B.A. in languages or religious instruction can tell you that these encounters with authorities in the Jewish Tradition did not happen but were presented by the authors when they wrote the Gospels (much later). Mark and especially Matthew was not written by Apostle Matthew or Diciple Mark, but a series of authors compiled under a book of "Matthew" and "Mark", etc. In the time of Jesus, Pharisees and Saduceeses did not exist in the way they appear in the Scriptures. Instead, They were around in the time when these Gospels were written, and were used as "examples" with teachings of Jesus refuting their views based on a book that is no longer existant that contained quotations of Jesus. You need to get a religious education beyond 8th grade or 12th grade when it comes to Religion. Please! [/quote] That's fine - even if we take it as a fictional text, we can still iron out the apparent contradictions and get to the root intent of the Main Character in the story :) [/quote] Nonsense. When any are misled by this kind of blasphemy, they are then declaring that almighty God did not preserve an accurate record of his Word to be available to the masses (i.e. God cannot be truly knowable, therefore anything goes). (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:14) The Word became flesh These kinds of lies are believed by those who no longer want to have to be accountable to the many parts of God's Word that do not conform to their own wicked imaginations. (John 8:37) I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. [/quote]
Original Message
They thought they were spot on, and couldn't conceive the notion that they might be completely wrong in both their beliefs and practice.
They didn't know God's heart, and they missed entire the point
.
Jesus came along, and He was nothing like they expected God to be. He sincerely cared about even the "least important" people in society.
Maybe we'd do well to stop and assess
ourselves
so as to avoid such hard-hearted religious error, yes?
