St. Paul has an Alex Jones personality
I could actually see that.
L @Scooter2000 more like Jeremiah
Who was the other Pharisee aside from Joseph of Arimathea who decided to help Christ?
Arimathea? Aramathea?
Okay Arimathea
I forget
Anybody knows ?
I didn't even know Joseph of Armiathea was a pharisee
Wasn't he?
i don't think so lol
he was just some rich guy
So sort of???
The Sanhedrin wasn't the Pharisees
Just a council of religious leaders.
Well I always understood them to be Priests
Then maybe just a plain wealthy rabbi.
But I guess just a general "Temple Authority"
pharisees weren't priests they were rabbi
*I'm in over my head.*
rabbi's were/are teachers of the faith
the priests actually performed sacrifice
Time to dig around Jewish religious structure.
pharisees and sadducees were two orders of rabbi's that held different doctrines and are both mentioned in the gospel
Were there any more of these orders?
i think so yeawh
i think there were like 3 dominant ones
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen
and here's those priests
So the Sanhedrin was just like a judicial council, then?
```"The supreme council and court of justice among the Jews. The name Sanhedrin is derived originally from the Greek word sunédrion, which, variously modified, passed at an unknown period into the Aramaic vocabulary. Among the Greek-speaking Jews, gerousÃa, "the assembly of the Ancients" was apparently the common name of the Sanhedrin, at least in the beginning; in post-Biblical Hebrew the appellation Beth-Din, "house of judgment", seems to have been quite popular."```
Much obliged.
Also, does it make any difference in the potency of a blessing of a particular medallion or crucifix, like a Saint Benedict's crucifix if I get it blessed by a plain priest rather than a Benedictine priest?
no
you can find the specific blessing and get them to do it because most priests probably won't know it
Alright, just checking, because I've heard stuff from hyper traditionalists, and sedevecantists that are kinda' against getting things like that blessed by anything less than the actual priest of that medallion's order.
