>>13719220The pharisees were the forefathers of today's papists and denominational pastors and rabbinic jews, they they had a bunch of traditions of the elders by which to reinterpret the commandments of God to have no effect.
The sadducees were the forefathers of today's nazis and zionists, they rejected claims about angels as unscientific but worshiped the people and the land instead of the Creator.
That's why Christ's rebukes of the scribes and pharisees are relevant today and will always be relevant. The Bible is, after all, completely for our edification.
