| The commitment to relate religion to daily life through the law has led some (notably, Saint Paul and Martin Luther) to infer that the Pharisees were more legalistic than other sects in the Second Temple Era. Jesus also taught in the Gospels, speaking harshly against the Pharisaic Law. In the Gospel the Sadducees were committed to obeying the commandments of the Torah, and the Essenes governed themselves through elaborate rules and regulations (Josephus does claim that the Pharisees were the "strictest" observers of the law, but he likely meant "most accurate"[citation needed]). It is more accurate to say they were legalistic in a different way. watch fast fiveVirus Spyware removal - PC Repair | |
