At any rate, I'm not going to comment on the Talmudic aspects of the post because all I know of the Talmud has come from secondary sources. However, I would like to clarify something. Back in the time of the Pharisees, Rome occupied Palestine. The occupational government could be compared to the Vichy government in France during the Nazi occupation. The Jews were split into several factions. The Pharisees were one of them. They were legalistic to a fault, putting the letter of the law above the spirit. However, they were also strongly ANTI-Roman; they wanted independence from a tyrannical occuping force. IMO, that tilts them closer to the "good guy" side than the "bad guy" side. Now the SADDUCEES were the truly genuine "bad guys" the Quislings of Roman-occupied Palestine. In return for a luxurious lifestyle, they collaborated with the Romans, to the point of ratting out freedom fighters. The New Testament, as we know it, is a product of both first and 4th century editing and/or censorship designed to "sell" Christianity to a Romanized audience. Hence, the Pharisees are cast in the role of villains that should more accurately be reserved for the Sadducees. Tenorlove __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
