He Never Was of the Pharisee's Cloth

A man called Jesus, worked and taught hated for no Reason, gives me thought? Betrayed by those He was To save, the men of cloth spat in his face, He was tortured killed and placed in a rich mans grave.' A squad of roman soldiers made, security sure That Truth be known to me and you' with temple guards And a seal affixed, once the stone was rolled, to halt Any tricks, despite their measures The Lord arose upon The third He placed His old clothes; neatly folded the job Was done, the dead awoke to walk, and the gaurds did run He met His followers, He taught anew; such messages Have travelled over many a pew, He's calling still He builds In grace, indeed, no' He was not of the cloth.' Yet He owns This place.'

Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes: Who survives today?! Only the Pharisees. Aha! There IS a place for the rule of law... Wake up Seattle, Portland, NYC, SF, and too many other American cities who thought 'love is all you need.' Let history, not sentimentalism, be our guide!

I see what you drive at GW..Yet In the 1950s in a mainly Christian USA i'd guess it was More peaceful? That being a Relative state.' Is it a mechanical love that is a Catch.? Rather than one from The heart st Paul was pharisee I beleive taught under Gamliel? Who chided the officials that Persecuted the early church Saying if this is of God you will Not stop it.' Thank you for Looking in btw, all blessings in God.'

Not many these days will understand this, I watch quiz shows and they rarely answer correctly when a bible question comes along. Well done, Joe xx

A miracle I think we share: "the guards did run" search your bible over and over again. It's not there. But it once was. that's how big it is. Amaziing we have been given this.

Thank you so much, as I wrote This I was thinking i won't be able to corroborate this in current Bible verse.? Yet I still Wrote it.?! I have heard there Was circa a platoon of roman soldiers plus 30 Jewish guards? So Believing this to be True I hovered over the guards Running whether to put it or not So was it me or the Holy Spirit Guiding?? I'm not sure ok i'm Not into false piety.' I'm Human I get things wrong.!
