Bible Answer: Hi, Tobi6334! The answer is found within that passage of Scripture: 'You are the Teacher of Israel... (John 3:10) ...one of the Pharisees called Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, (John 3:1): The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001. Pharisees ...one of the two great Jewish religious and political parties of the second commonwealth. Their opponents were the Sadducees, and it appears that the Sadducees gave them their name, perushim, Hebrew for “separatists” or “deviants.” The Pharisees began their activities during or after the Hasmonean revolt (c.166--142 B.C.). The Pharisees upheld an interpretation of Judaism that was in opposition to the priestly Temple cult. They stressed faith in the one God; the divine revelation of the law both written and oral handed down by Moses through Joshua, the elders, and the prophets to the Pharisees; and eternal life and resurrection for those who keep the law. Pharisees insisted on the strict observance of Jewish law, which they began to codify. While in agreement on the broad outlines of Jewish law, the Pharisees encouraged debate on its fine points, and according to one view, practiced the tradition of zuggot, or pairs of scholars with opposing views. They developed the synagogue as an alternative place of worship to the Temple, with a liturgy consisting of biblical and prophetic readings, and the repetition of the shma, the basic creed of Judaism. In addition, they supported the separation of the worldly and the spiritual spheres, ceding the former to the secular rulers... Jesus, was checking Nicodemus, since he, unlike the average Israelite, was in the fortunate position of having full access to Scripture and the its study! God Bless! Angel |
