I would suggest removing "teacher" as an identifier since it's part of the title, but then we'd have a discussion whether it's just a metaphorical teacher and whether we can use a special "by design" situation to still call it a teacher.

That makes no sense?!?!  Just because they were evil doesn't mean they weren't priests! They were the false priests of the bible.  I think that needs to be changed, they still did all the offerings and were considered priests in their day.
Whoa, since when are the Pharisees evil?

I really hate how Redemption depicts all the Pharisees as evil. That isn't right.

not-evil Pharisees in Redemption:
Gamaliel
Nicodemus
converted Paul

Joseph of Arimathea could very well have been a member of the Sanhedrin, but because we have no specific documentation saying he is either a Pharisee or a Sadducee, he gets no label.

They did deny Christ and therefore God.....  I understand what you mean though; not every Pharisee was evil.


The card Greek Scholars doesn't mean that every single Greek that was a scholar was evil.  A card can represent a viewpoint, and the Pharisee viewpoint that Christ =/= God is fair to make them an evil character IMO.

Also, just as gray is the murky middle between black and white, the NT gray characters thematically are people that were "neither hot nor cold".  God said of lukewarm people that he would "spew them out of his mouth".  No side to Him seems to be as bad as - if not worse than - defying Him.

So this thread kinda got me thinking a bit. My understanding of things may be a little off, and I may be oversimplifying things. I know we have a few NT Priests, Priests in Christ and Zachariah come to mind, but is there any "Post Ressurection Priests" and do we really need them?

No, they dont need special access to those two souls. They are powerful, so that is a drawback you have to consider.

While we're talking about exceptions to being a Levitical priest, please don't forget about good ol' Saint Patrick.  I don't want to see him become green with envy.

ok Thanks for clearing this up. It just seemed to me like he would be a priest because he was a Pharisee but now I know they are not.  But hopefully the evil High priests are considered evil priests. :)
