No to Pharisees
........... I won't seriously listen to anyone who is Pro-Pharisee. She (Billye Brim) sounds like a clone of Hagee. Here is what I tell her via email....
-----------------------------------------------------
MATTHEW Ch. 16, vs. 12 "BEWARE of the leavening of the doctrine of the PHARISEES and SADDUCEES."--Jesus ... read vs. 1-12 for full text.
MATTHEW Ch. 5, vs. 20 says those that support the PHARISEE EVIL, like the Evangelicals are doing, will never enter the kingdom of heaven. "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." -- Jesus
Note: The Jews of Israel today ARE the Pharisees by their own admission. See the Jewish Virtual Library on the internet.
Specifically... http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/sadducees_pharisees_essenes.html
Key line. "The most important of the three, (Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes) were the Pharisees because they are the spiritual fathers of modern Judaism."
Bottom line: NO PHARISEE OF ISRAEL, or EVANGELICAL WHO SUPPORTS THEM, shall enter the kingdom of heaven.
