I understand where you're coming from. Please understand where I'm coming from: Two flavors of Pharisee:
One hated Him. one liked Him
One treated him as an enemy, one treated Him as a brother
One sought to take His Live, one sought to save Him (Luke 13.31).
One taught legalism, one taught grace
One is called House Shammai, one is called House Hillel.
-- slade
To your way of thinking, Slade, do you think that Paul, prior to his conversion, was influenced by Shammai in spite of being a studet of Gamaliel. I mean, Gamaliel was in favor of allowing God to deal with the "problem" of this emerging Faith while the House of Shammai would not honor that reason?
John
