What does the Bible say about the doctrine of the Pharisees?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns us to beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees, which emphasizes human traditions and self-righteousness over true faith.

In Matthew 16:6, Jesus instructs His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. This leaven represents their doctrine, which consisted of human traditions, the commandments of men, and reliance on self-righteousness rather than faith in God. Jesus criticized them for being hypocritical, focusing on the outward appearance of righteousness while neglecting the heart and true godliness (Matthew 23:25-28). Believers are called to discern these teachings and recognize that true faith comes from understanding and following the Scriptures, rather than adhering to man-made laws and customs.
Scripture References: Matthew 16:6, Matthew 23:25-28
