The
Pharisees were far away from the reality of what we all are on Earth
for, who showed no love for anything but themselves. They evidenced a lack
of compassion and a critical.accusing.attitude
of imputing
evil to good motives
of others.
The mark
of a Pharisee is
imputing
evil intent and source to good motives:.Matthew
12:24.
Your heart may be right in
a matter.(how
to be sure).and
you know that it is, yet others are sure you have
ulterior
motives.
The mark of a Pharisee involves
imposing conditions upon another
prior to accepting them; conform
or else! Totalitarianism.
Like, don't
forsake the assembling with the rest of us; become one of us or else
you'll be in trouble with us and we'll be against you. Typical of totalitarian
thinking causing fear, anything but peaceful.
The mark of a Pharisee and
their ilk, is one
of hypocrisy:.Matthew
23:24-32.
It is the very
antithesis
of the love the Creator has, yet is commonplace in many spiritual groups
today and if Christian, they may be misappropriating
the name
of Emmanuel the Christ.
