Thank you for this video. I'm challenged by the idea that even though we are to love holiness and God's Word, that should not cause us to separate from sinners but rather to love the lost even more like Jesus did. On a side - The 7 types of Pharisees were hilarious 😆
I agree, Riaan. The more we grow in maturity the more we should reach out like Jesus. We should not retract more. Although we should keep ourselves seperated from their sinful deeds.
I’m wondering where your information about Judas being pressured into making the sacrifice and leading a group into the mountains. From my references, all of them attribute these events to Mattathias, Judas’ father. When Mattathias died in 166/5 BC, Judas continued the Maccabean revolt.
“blotting out the handwriting (the letter of the law or rituals of the law or works of the law not the Spiritual Law) of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;” Colossians 2:14 KJV The letter or rituals or works of the law kills but the Spirit gives life. “And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 KJV
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
The best example par-exelance was Apostle Paul. (Why did Christ chnaged his name from Saul to Paul?). Paul was perfect educated by the Pharisees. He lived in Tarsus, where in that time existed the bigest Stoic Philosophic School of that time. You have NO IDEA, how spiritual life was at that time. We Greeks WROTE EVERYTHING DOWN. Apostle Paul says (1 Corinthians 11,2) "Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and KEEP THE ORDINANCES, as I delivered them to you". Ups, which ORDINANCES sir????? Apostle Paul lived practically in Greek cities and the people WROTE DOWN the ORDINANCES which he gave them in Corinth, in AThens, In Thassalonica, In Philippi, in Smyrna, in Ephessus, in Berroea und everywhere. And you Americans want to teach us GREEKS? SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO LOUGH. WHERE IS YOUR ORAL TRADITION? Where are the ORDINANCES given by the Apostles. Where are the Canons and the Liturgy?
The Gospels were written about fifty years after Jesus's death. We don't really know whether Jesus spoke harshly about the Pharisees or the authors of the Gospels did. It's partially very early Christian polemics proving the spiritual superiority of Christianity over Judaism. It depicts an inaccurate picture of the Pharisees. for example the Pharisees developed the concept of pikuach nefesh, saving lives, supersedes all laws, including observing Shabbat but you wouldn't know that from the Gospels.
That is a false premise, the apostles had extra biblical writings of their preachings which contained alot of these stories. It was also orally taught for decades. The reason why the gospels were believed to be written later is not because the evidence shows that, it is because most biblical scholars cannot accept the fact that the destruction of the temple was clearly prophesied in the gospels so they date after the destruction. The problem is the book of acts affirms alot of these event and is said to be later than the book of luke which has the destruction of the temple prophesy. The book of acts does not mention temple destruction which means it was written before 70AD. Also luke spoke to witnesses that lived during jesus time which means the gospel are earlier than most scholars would like to admit. There is just no evidence that says they were written later. Another reason why they werent immediattely written was because the apostles believe jesus was returning to rapture the church in their life time.
You also have the students of the apostles like polycarp who were also scribes copying the gospels and destributing them early. Who had close relationships with the apostles and would have corrected the gospels if they were wrong, instead the affirm them.
Correct. The Apostles have tought everything to the Greeks and the Greeks wrote it down!!!! Not only what we have in NT but also the written and oral tradition!
So-called oral law that you speak of was not given by God. It was the traditions of men and Commandments of men that the Pharisees added to the word of God With God commanded them not to do.
The early oral law of the Pharisees also allowed them to subtly manipulate circumstances 1 on 1 with commoners or widows who were ignorant of the fine details etc. They could sometimes “ride the fence” on issues that seemed inconclusive etc. When the oral law is written down, on papyrus or stone etc, then the Letter of the Law can be independently verified from a pharisees verbal words and the intentions or Spirit of the Law is consistent and can focus on the Worship & Love of God first, and having love for others second. It also is easier to pass on from generation to generation etc. All the Laws boiled down to loving God, and then loving others. Most Pharisees used the law for power, superiority, political control, condemnation of some of the common jews, self-righteousness, legalism, etc, at the very expense of what the ACTUAL intended Spirit of the Law was. This is partly why Jesus condemned their behaviours and hypocritical living, as their hearts were hardened to the common jew, prostitute, thief, poor, unclean, or homeless etc, because the Pharisees did not have the Fruit of the Spirit, as their self-righteous facades only concealed that they were rotten to the core inwardly.
The Greeks never forced someone into their cultoure. This is a BIG LIE. Some Jews called Hellenistics followed the Greek way of life FREELY. Where do you have your information? From Talmud?
Jesus avoid pharises because he didn’t have respect for the Torah, HaShem and pharises. He constantly sinned of Lashon Hara, lied and didn’t respect Sabbath. A shame. The “hard heart” is the one of the guy kicking the guys outside the Temple. Nobody “hated”, he hated everyone. You’re lying.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 KJV
There is nothing in the law of Moses that says that only the priests were bound by the dietary law or the laws of purity
were?
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!

The oral law seems a bit slippery for sure

The follower of Alexander the Great perhaps?
Jesus avoid pharises because he didn’t have respect for the Torah, HaShem and pharises. He constantly sinned of Lashon Hara, lied and didn’t respect Sabbath. A shame. The “hard heart” is the one of the guy kicking the guys outside the Temple.
Nobody “hated”, he hated everyone.
You’re lying.
