(John Goodell – TruthScript) When we read our Bibles as Christians, we are often looking for what God wants us to believe, commands to guide our lives, and examples to follow. As we read, we should also be learning what not to be like. The Pharisees were a group of people that Jesus was the hardest on, and so we want to learn from them what not to be like. In fact, Jesus exhorted His disciples in Matthew 23:3 to not do “the works they do, for they preach but do not practice.” Jesus’ instruction here reveals to us his main concern with the Pharisees—hypocrisy.
In politics in the late 80s, the term “race card” was born. It was used to weaponize people against their political foes to discredit them….
The same is happening today with the “gender card.” People pull these cards out and use them in a fallacious way. Today in Christendom, this tactic is being used with the “Pharisee card.” This label is thrown out often today to discredit other professing Christians because their practice or belief is out of line with their own, especially if they express concerns with their own views vocally.
