    The pharisees and the teachers of the law had a warped view of God... and many today have the same problem. What did Jesus mean to teach about the Father in this parable?

This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such despicable people - even eating with them!" These two verses from ...read more
