The Pharisee Fallacy

"Here we have Jesus zeroing in on the Pharisee fallacy: the mechanisms of rules have become elevated over any original purpose those rules may have had, and even negate those purposes. He calls this hypocrisy.” - John Launchbury

John Launchbury

John was born in Birmingham, baptized in North London, married in Oxford, had children in Glasgow, and (just recently) became “Opa" in Portland, Oregon. In Bible study, he seeks to make the complex simple, while still retaining the majesty and impact. He loves praise songs, especially if he also gets to play his 12-string or bass.
