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.'

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/3/2023 9:04:00 AM 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!

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.'
