Pharisees were old, sure, but in my opinion God coming down from the heavens in the flesh and establishing a church sort of overrides the authority they had, no? The church was established to preserve the truth, you can't just come in claiming you know better whilst also citing the book they compiled. It's a fact that what you believe would have been alien to any Christian a thousand years ago. And as for paul in, for example, Romans 3:20 he's obviously referring to the old, jewish law. But it is true that salvation is given to us, not earned. The earth will be renewed for everyone and God's fiery love will embrace us all unconditionally, but we have to cooperate and that starts in this life. ==ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT BODY WAS TOO LONG==
