Your write up is crap, and if there's any pharisee in the house, it's you. Do you know what the Bible said about tithes, and men worship God not pastor, so stop being angry that no one gives a bleep about your pastor. Besides churches only suck money from their sheep, so any serious sheep needs to take work more serious than this pie in the sky crap. Hold on, how come pastors who have God's personal DM are now asking members for money, why can't they ask their father. 3 Likes |

ADEWUMIMichael:Op do you read your Bible? The things you mentioned above is not the characteristics of Pharisees... Pharisees are : 1) Holier than thou Christians who condemn fellow believers to Hell because the believer doesn't follow the doctrine of their church. 2) They condemn unbelievers to Hell Fire and threaten them with Hell Fire instead of revealing Christ to them. Thereby pushing more people away from Christ. 3) They condemn fellow believers and judge them to damnation thinking they are scoring merits with God. 4) They accept Christ into their lives but neglect the Cross. They feel that Christ's Finished Work on the Cross is not enough thereby they resort to help Christ save them by good works ( in quote) 5)They feel that its only their church members and family that will make heaven. 6) They present God as an angry God who is quick to strike anyone dead. 7) They are holy only in appearance ( in quote) but commit atrocities when they leave the church in the absence of their brethren. ( Who's fooling who?) In summary, A Pharisee is a religious hypocrite. Look up only to Jesus, He's the author and perfecter of Our Faith. Look up to no man. Man is only mortal. Christ is the ultimate. Look at the Cross and see the greatest demonstration of God's Love to fallen humanity!! 4 Likes |

Your Pastor is not a dictator that you should fear like you fear the sometimes "unpredictable & pompous" boss at work. Your Pastor should be a christlike pastor that doesn't need you buying him airtime. God did not ask us to fear but to treat people with respect and dignity Everything here is Pastor this Pastor that. You are not to worship your Pastor, his airtime bill is not your headache, you have yours and your wife's one to pay for. You might want to educate yourself on what been a pharisee means. 1 Like |

ADEWUMIMichael:here we go with judgemental people again. This post really makes you the Pharisee. Judging others rather than showing the love of Christ. Atheists are much better than most self-professed Christians. In my walk of life, I've seen so-called 'unbelievers' show more love than Christians. 2 Likes |

[quote author=RaggedyAnn post=58739428] Okay. In my opinion, a Pharisee is recognizable by these kinds of traits: 1. He will neglect a beggar at the church gate, but put 5k for offertory. 2. He will attend all church meetings, but never make time to visit his sick uncle at the hospital. 3. He will quarrel with everyone on his way to church, and then bow in piety to the priest. 4. He will never invite his hungry friends to lunch, but will send bags of rice to his pastor every month. 5. He will ostracize a prostitute, but condone the weakness in his pastor when he's discovered to be guilty of adultery. 6. He will lynch a boy in the street for stealing, and then take a shower and go for evening service. 7. He will collect kick-backs from contractors on inflated projects, and then do thanksgiving in church for the position that God has elevated him to. 8. He will refuse to give an acquaintance a lift, because his big bible is resting majestically on the passenger seat. 9. He will give his church members preferential treatment at his office. 10. He will not pay his nephew's school fees, but take on the renovation of the church. 11. He will come late to work, ignore the already waiting customers, and proceed with a thirty-minute long morning devotion before responding to them. 12. In church, he sits in the line of sight of the pastor. He makes eye-contact, so that he is seen. And afterwards, he still goes to greet the pastor, until he is showered with commendations for his conscientiousness. On point. God bless you for me 3 Likes 1 Share |

The OP really took a whipping! Lol . It's people like him that will eventually eat grass because their pastor said so! Why should you fear your pastor? If God loves you then why should a relationship with your pastor be based on fear OP most likely You are a pastor or a potential pastor so you are mentally preparing victims for your ( future ) church, Abi? |

OP do you think one can easily measure even up to half of the Pharisees in today's world let alone identifying them? Hmmm Matt 5:20 says, 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. Matthew |
