Aluatul fariseilor era, in primul rand, ipocrizia...
Cea mai periculoasa persoana din crestinismul de astazi (la fel ca in timpul lui ISUS) este fariseul, care are toate doctrinele corecte si care predica "sfintenia". Insa "sfintenia" lui este o sfintenie legalista, produsa de legi si reguli. Acestei "neprihaniri" ii lipseste "pacea si bucuria Duhului Sfant" (Romani 14:17). Un astfel de om este periculos, pentru ca ii poate devia pe crestini inspre o sfintenie falsa.
De aceea este important ca noi sa intelegem particularitatile fariseilor.
Insa cand vine vorba de farisei, in evanghelii este scris foarte mult despre ei. Asa ca Dumnezeu trebuie sa-Si fi dorit ca noi sa studiem trasaturile lor.
Toti credinciosii, ale caror doctrine sunt corecte si care urmaresc sfintenia, sunt in pericolul de a deveni farisei chiar fara sa stie. Cum majoritatea dintre noi cadem in aceasta categorie, haideti sa abordam acest studiu cu adanca umilinta.
Exista cel putin cincizeci de trasaturi ale fariseilor pe care le-am identificat in evanghelii. Daca macar una dintre ele ni se potriveste, atunci suntem farisei, chiar daca nu le avem pe celelalte 49 de trasaturi. Aceasta nu este o lista completa. Daca te uiti la propria viata, poti descoperi alte trasaturi care nu sunt precizate in Biblie.
