>>11891084>Christ certainly wasnt a pharisee, there are several biblical verses of Christ denying them."In this sense, we believe not to err in letting Jesus be amongst the Pharisees, naturally in the middle of a lower group of opposition. Jesus himself taught like a Rabbi Pharisee, and with a high level of authority, whose excessive emphasis must then be without doubt considered like a kerigmatic tradition» (11).
These theories, that Jesus was part of a group of Pharisees, is made now by many scholars, and not only Jews (12). Jesus a Pharisee: maybe it is a shocking idea for many readers. In fact, it cannot be proved by any of our sources, from the New Testament or others. But, it indicates a truth that is often forgotten: that many of the teachings of Jesus are not far from those of many Pharisees or Rabbis, and their successors. In fact, even if Jesus did want to create polemics with the Pharisees, in no way would his teaching in itself put him out of the realm of Judaism."
