>>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?<<
Doesn't Matthew 15:1-9 answer this? A specific example is provided. Then there is the account of stoning the woman for adultery. That is presented in a way that apparently she was used (set up) in order to trap Jesus. That doesn't sound very godly. My guess is people back then aren't a lot different than they are now.
Since Jesus said do as they say, not as they do, I've always understood this to mean that there were a number who were demanding obedience to the Law for everyone while themselves not being so obedient. Much like you might see a televangelist on TV preaching against homosexuality only to later come out in the news he was caught taking drugs and having sex with a homosexual.
