“People Are Still People”
Categories: CHRISTIANS, RELATIONSHIPSWhy do we, believers, sometimes act like Pharisees?Sincerely,
Un-Phar
Dear Un-Phar,
There are lots of reasons that people can behave Pharisaically. The Pharisees chose their traditions over the Bible (Mk 7:8), and the Pharisees also cared more about appearances than they did about genuinely serving God (Matt 23:25-26). Sadly, there are still people like that in the church today. The key is to not be that way yourself.
