The Pharisees also wanted to spread Judaism, but by through example and persuasion rather than by force. The parties also had different ideas about what the scriptures said. The Sadducees believed solely in what was stated in the Written Law. They do not believe in the resurrection, angels, or the coming judgment day because little was written about these matters in the Torah (Bilhartz, 2006, p. 57). The Pharisees, however, were more liberal in their interpretation of the Torah.

The Greek gods are very impressive and powerful, but are not regarded as heroes. Heroes are those who despite flaws and challenges, attempt to mend theirs and other’s mistakes at great personal expense because they feel that these mistakes are immoral.

This was a great sin; one of the ten commandments, stated in the KJV bible, says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” The commandments also condemn murder, stealing, envy, etc. In the Fallen Angels story, the soldiers were killing their opponents. God told us to love our enemies in Luke 6:27-32 and specifically said not to kill.

Chapter 6 of the Gospel according to Luke initially reflects Christ’s teachings concerning the Sabbath, which inevitably elicits sentiments of rage from the Pharisees, further deepening the conflict shared between Jesus and the religious authorities. The aforementioned event began after the Pharisees witnessed Christ attempting to heal the withered hand of a man, but before treating the man’s wound, Christ declared to the peeping Pharisees that it would be far more destructive to let the man succumb to his wounds opposed to disregarding the sabbath for a bit to help a fellow human.
