What was Jesus'/God's problem with the Pharisees?

I get that Matthew 23 is where Jesus addresses them, but if they were following God's Law to a tee as God intended, why did Jesus address them?

They were legalistic egoists who, if they recognized Jesus as the prophecy fulfilled , the Messiah, would lose their rank and title commanding the people under them. They're Hell bound now. As will they all be to this day if they continue to deny Jesus. He called them then a den of vipers. Nothing has changed in over 2000 years. If Jesus arrived in this century there they'd treat him the same. Only rather than crucifixion I expect they'd want him arrested, or institutionalized. 

Or, a Muslim terrorist would kill him for daring to claim himself to be the Messiah that out ranks mad muhammad.

They sought the law as a means of earning their own righteousness not by the faith of living it.

Any man who justifies himself by the law will stand only condemned.  For all have sinned.  That the law shows us quite well.

This self righteousness caused a don't come near me I am holier than thou attitude .  That is a blast of smoke to the nostrils of God.

They did not know the law, for they did not have faith in God.  Their own torah points to JESUS as the savoir. Yet they went about making their own salvation

and had no idea when the real savoir had come.  They said Do , yet they did not.  It all points to hyprocrisy.

a number of you all had right points.  Overall the view was one for appearance and praise of men.   Not the praise which is for God alone.

why one does what he does is as important as what he does.   Yes, I see another made a good point, they added their own traditions which would contradict

GODS LAW.   rather odd today the churches do the same.  they teach for the commandments of Christ the traditions of men who twist his sayings

and give excuse on why its okay to omit them or change them.   Bad news on judgment day , real bad news.

We cant go around like the Pharisees and twist remarriage , or gay marriage , or justify war, or self defense

or justify why its okay to do something JESUS made quite plain was not okay to do.  and to not do things he said TO DO>

I have watched many change many things. and say things like that was for that time , that generation , or the jews only or whatever excuse

to not keep his sayings.   Just like the Pharisees.    I SAY this .  IF JESUS said to do we do if he said not to we don't.  HOW SIMPLE IS THAT.

HIS BURDEN IS EASY HIS YOKE LIGHT.............but men have made confusion of a simple walk in order to justify their own hearts desires.

REMEMBER if JESUS said do , DO, if not to do DONT

and he had many sayings for all ages amen.

 The laws of Gods kingdom have not changed and yet no one adheres to that sound minded advice which is why this world is so wicked. You must think outside the box in that mankind's laws are the opposite of Gods laws to understand the way of the lord. Few if any will even discuss no money-changers, profiteers, lines on maps or dividing of Gods holy land as the answer to all of mankind's problems. The Pharisees do not want to change anything and Gods laws change everything.

Anyone want to tell me why, in christain circles its huge to talk to the dead these days..........

they aren't saved believers, just pretenders. Mindfulness is about hot word to use especially in diversity training at work. It's all new age which seems from Hinduism in many ways. Transcendental meditation or mantras, same old devil garbage to take your focus off Christ.

Necromancy, idolatry,  false gospels,  abound TODAY as they did in centuries past, yes.

Still of the devil, still wickedness filling the world and deceiving multitudes, yes.

"why"  .... as it is written :  "the wicked will be becoming more wicked"  (not repenting) and it is so.  They willingly ignore God,  reject Jesus, and hate the LIGHT, because their lives are evil, and they won't come to the LIGHT to be healed. (except for the remnent elect ) ....

 The devil and the anti Christ's have convinced the mainstream that they are good when actually they are bad. They say they are sinners when actually they are criminals who commit crimes against humanity and God all day every day. God wants no money-changers in His temple which is everywhere and yet there is a privately owned bank, corporations and monetary system on every corner of the earth.

   I did arrive in this century and fulfilled at least 300 prophecies as required. I did get arrested and the den of vipers tried to get me institutionalized but that did not work because the doctors testified that I was the most sane person they ever analyzed. At that point they either had to put me on trial or dismiss the four felony charges. They tried to get me to make a deal but I rejected 3 months of probation which would have made me a convicted felon and forced them to put me on trial. First I went on trial for violating a restraining order which started the war and the jury found me not guilty. Then I went on trial for threatening to kill a judge, disorderly conduct and carrying a dangerous weapon, minutes prior to trial the State dropped the threats charge. All of the evidence presented was Biblical in nature and I testified that it was all true and that I stood by my actions as legal and justifiable. The jury convicted me but I over ruled them in minutes with a pre trial motion that the jury would not understand the laws that protected my actions. The judge who cried almost constantly through out the trial agreed with me and set aside the jury verdict and set me free as soon as the jury was off the property. Its not every day that a man parks a chariot of fire in front of a tomb and stands in front of a courthouse with a bow and arrows over his shoulder and challenges the US judicial system to a war and wins. I think Ex President Ahmadinejad would be on my side and one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter so I am not worried about being killed by them. I have done many things like that before and since and have bound the hands and feet of the US judicial system to the point where they cannot touch me.

I've reported your blasphemy. 

For any other Christian here, new Christian's particularly, read Matthew 24 and particularly verse 24. 

Pray for the blasphemers. God knows their name too.

Mad man aham would be on my side, of course he's on the devil's side but you trying to twist Scriptures is blaspheming, I pray you repent.
