Pharisees?

I get so frustrated by people who go around claiming to know so firmly everything there is to know about God.

Its interesting to note that the pharisees held this same view point. They looked at all the ancient writings and the torah and saw all the prophecies about Christ and they thought they had it all figured out. They knew exactly what the messiah would look like..they expected him to be a military leader who would most likely save the Israelites from opression etc.

However they believed their interpretation SO STRONGLY that when Jesus actually came...they missed him. They missed him and crucified him becuase they considered him heretical. Becuase what he was teaching didnt match with what they interpreted the Bible (or Torah) to mean.

Interesting..
how many of us, if we lived back when Jesus returned would have missed Christ as well?

Im NOT saying we cant know God
but simply getting to the point that Christians should not be arguing 24/7 over theology. There should not be different church denominations seperated over tiny tiny docrinal issues. There are certain things that Christ taught that we know without a doubt that he meant. And that is to live like Christ. Are we doing that?
