Lady Felix, I have asked other Chrstians this before when they referenced Matt: 23, but never got a real answer, maybe YOU can give me a real answer? Usually, they just repeated over and over that the Pharisees were "hypocrites", but they couldn't give actual examples of their so-called hypocricy. They repeated the claim of "rejecting G-D's laws (commandments) in order to preserve their (man's) traditions. I asked them to explain what that meant, they couldn't. I asked specifically WHICH commandments the Pharisees rejected and which traditions they kept. They couldn't answer. Maybe you can give a logical, understandable answer?
You said Jsus wasn't rebuking the righteous Pharisees, just the unrighteous Pharisees. What is the difference and how can you know 1900 years AFTER this was written, just who was who? If they were ALL Pharisees, which means Torah-observant Jews, then how could they NOT be righteous is they were following Torah?
You said the Pharisees weren't practicing what they preached...what evidence do you have to back up that accusation? Maybe if you gave an example of what they "preached" and provided some kind of proof that they didn't follow it? Please, I am asking for REAL evidence, REAL proof---not just parroting what the writer of the gospel according to Matthew alleged. And just what is this "preached" stuff anyway? They ADVISED on halacha---the Levites were what you call "teachers of the Law".
Also, when you can, could you please take the time to show exactly which prophet(s) was/were murdered, when it happened and exactly WHO did it? OF course evidence showing actual proof is required here---not just some unknown man's diary entry claiming some other guy said so. Thanks in advance for your help.
