Nope. He was a reformer. He didn't protest the Law, he fulfilled it. He was reforming Judaism, not protesting against it.
He was not labelled a heretic he was labelled a blasphemer, big difference.
No, I speak Truth.
It wasn't about the Law. I was referring to His disapproval of the PRACTICES of the Pharisees! The New Testament is actually filled with that!
Either heresy or blasphemy, or both. Here are the accusations against Him:
Luke 23
23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”
And yes, Jesus fits the description of a "protester" when He expressed disapproval, and condemned the practices of the Pharisees.
protest
1. a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something.
His disapproval also was expressed through His action:
Matt 21
Jesus at the Temple
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[e] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[f]”
As for the devil - whether he's a protester or not, what's that got to do with this? :lol:
