they are still political

@ᚲᚱᛁᛊᛏᚨᚾ

what about pharies then? regardless of wich religion they were also political leaders and thats a historical fact

They twisted religious beliefs

Pharisees and Sadducees twisted the laws of Moses in order to control the people

but they were political leaders

regardless

They weren't even supposed to be political leaders they were supposed to be spiritual leaders

They doubled in politics because they had power from it

But they weren't religious

true but they were political leaders.

they made political descisions therefore they were political leaders chosen by romans and even before that

They made religious decisions

and political

That they used to get political gain

again, regardless they were political leaders, and its a fact

They didn't make any political decisions. They just got the gains from the decisions made.

The Old Testament is filled with religious people trying to play the politics game and dying from it

they did xD

Look at 1st and 2nd kings

look at the gospel, jesus critisizes them for it, ever read the gospel?

Dude

I know the Bible

ik im just kidding

Jesus criticizes them for being false prophets

my bad

oh btw if u guys know the bible i am certain that you know the external writer "josephus" who brought us historical evidence of jesus's wonders and his death etc. he himself even wrote about the pharasees being politicians, they would solve a crisis together in their own "council" in wich they were there to decide what would happen, how the laws may change and many other things wich is literally a definition of being a politician

you cannot deny that they were political leaders as well, but i do agree that they did a bad job in many things if it was religious or political

originally they were not political figures but they did become it

doesnt mean its good

they also controlled the taxes under king's command

wich is another huge part of being a politician

controlled the local market

another political thing

so yeah

they were political
