Do you know what being a Pharisee even means?

Well its obvious you don't, lemme educate you small this morning.

A Pharisee will be the earliest to church, pay tithes on the regular and boast about his accomplishments in the church.

They will be in all the church groups, they will be the most prayerful and appoint themselves as judges to other members who do not act like them.

In their minds, they are closer to God than any other person in the church.

In short, they are pretenders who act like they love God so much, when in their day to day lives, they don't exhibit the characteristics of a bornagain Christian.

They do not love their neighbours... They are also gossips.

Some will steal and embezzle company funds to go and show off in church. They are also proud and disrespectful etc.

That is what being a Pharisee means.

Question:
Is there anyone in your church? .

In summary, A Pharisee is a religious hypocrite.

anyebedgreat:
That description doesn't suit Pharisees. As a matter of fact they are parallel.

The people that could be tagged Pharisees in church are the very religious ones who do eye service but their ways are not that pure.

jiggaz:
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!!

RaggedyAnn:
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.
