Do you agree? Disagree? Is he missing the whole concept of who Pharisees were? Is there really an "old" and "new" Pharisee? What say you?

I recently discovered that I am not a Pharisee. I'm the opposite of a Pharisee, an "Anti-Pharisee", if you will. Jesus said they (the Pharisees) cleaned the outside of their plates, but left the inside dirty. I do just the opposite: when I do dishes, I clean the inside, but leave the outside dirty. Theres a sermon in there somewhere....


I can hear it now.....

" Now, bless God, you modern day, liberal charismatics, Hallelujah, Praise God....you're just the opposite of those Pharisees Jesus was talkin' about. You clean the inside with your honesty and love, and concern for those in need.... Can somebody say Amen?, Glory to God. But your outside is still dirty with you men wearin' your beards, and your short sleeves. Sittin' there watchin your One Eyed Devils. Say Amen. If you can't, just holler "Ouch". And you women, praise God, with your bobbed hair, and breaches, upsurpin' your mans authority.... Oh, Glory, the devils gettin' mad, praise His Holy Name, and I'm gonna have me a spell...."
