{From a conversation on:

“Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” Mt 15}

The Pharisees held many plants which needed to be rooted up, but Christ said they sat in Moses’ seat, which was certainly planted by the Father – and Paul, who gave up the heresies, remained a Pharisee, thus half or more of the Greek Scriptures were written by a Pharisee: another plant certainly planted by the Father.

In fact, Christ’s words were: “all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.” Mt 23 (Obviously not referring to the traditions of the elders which they taught, but whatever they said from the seat of Moses.)

So one could say from this that the main fault of the Pharisees was in not following the Phariseeism that they taught, but following other traditions instead of Pharisaical keeping of God’s Law, which they above all people should have followed.
