The Pharisees also *didn't like the things that Jesus taught, nor did they like the things that Jesus had to say*. They thought that they didn't do anything wrong, and they thought that they were real important and real clever. They thought that their opinions about religion were always right, and they became very 'proud'. They claimed they tried to obey all of God's laws. *But often they pretended to be holier than they really were*. They obeyed many unimportant rules. *But often they failed to obey God's most important rules*. And they refused to listen to Jesus. They cared more about their 'religion' than they cared about God.
It's important for others to know that the resident 'Professional Christians' here DO NOT represent all of Jesus' followers.
If you don't mind would you document where God's Word tells us,
"They thought that they didn't do anything wrong, and they thought that they were real important and real clever. They thought that their opinions about religion were always right, and they became very 'proud'. They claimed they tried to obey all of God's laws."
I have not seen this information before.
