The pharisees were experts and said they were Jews as followers of Moses and Abraham. Jesus called many of them vipers and hypocrites and others would say that they were "the synagogue of Satan" the congregations of the adversary of what Jesus said.
How did they get it so wrong?
Were they blinded by pride, greed, hate and judgement?
What is the opposite but humility, generosity, love and forgiveness?
What blinded them?[1]
Why did they live in darkness? [2]
Why did they not understand the word, the Logos of Christ and the Father?
Their Corban caused their worship to be in vain making the word of God to none effect.
In their blindness they made their Doctrines of men.
Some say they are Christians today but are they too workers of iniquity engaged in covetous practices?
God hates the deeds of the Nicolaitan which is also the error of Balaam. Repent! And Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Doctrines of men

We can look up the Doctrines of Jesus by reading those doctrines in the red-letter Bible.

Since the Church was established by Christ we can easily reason that the doctrines of the Church must be limited to the Doctrines of Jesus.

That creation of new doctrines by men and the institutions and practices of men who often "lack knowledge" of God will produce teachings contrary to those words and even the direct commandments of Christ.

The often fictional and private interpretations of the Torah by the people like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots who distorted the truth back then was a pervasive result of vain scholars climbing around in their own tree of knowledge.

There are a myriad of doctrines amongst the modern Christians that are a part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need for us to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees".[3]

That leaven was about more than adding the doctrines of men but it included doctrines which seared the conscience with vanity and self Righteousness. It would be the blind leading the blind.[1]

Quora Question

Quora asked the question "Where in the Bible does it say that after a person dies they go to heaven or hell right away?" Answer were all over the place yet the idea is common among many religions yet the Bible says very little about the idea.

Someone wrote that at death we sleep and there is such a reference in the text when Jesus says Lazarus sleeps and he goes to wake him.[4] One individual on Quora added the comment that when we sleep we are “unaware of what is occurring around them”. This idea is added to the narrative by people’s imagination and is contrary to what we can see in the text. Many times in the Bible revelation, inspiration, and messages come to people when they sleep.

They go on with the statement “until they are resurrected at Jesus’ second coming” which is also a man made created doctrine from bits and pieces that are not detailed in the text as much as the many direct statements made by Jesus that seem fundamentally and consistently ignored.

There are many such doctrines created by modern religions who do not practice “Pure Religion” or even know what that phrase means. They are so focused on these many “doctrines of men” until they become “workers of iniquity” and do not even see the obvious truth of what Jesus directly stated.

Some are already “asleep”. Some are even “dead”[5] already according to Jesus because they “sit in darkness”.[2]

You can make the bible mean whatever you want if you leave out the inconvenient truth and people often do. They often unmoor the metaphors from the meaning in order to create these doctrines of men and leave off the weightier matters which Jesús spoke about very clear without metaphors.

It was obvious that part of that righteousness we are suppose to be seeking was to "Keep the commandments" and to not covet thy neighbor's goods nor anything that was thy neighbors. And were were certainly not to do it through governments exercise authority.[6]

There are many places in the Bible that suggest something about life after death but mostly it is concerned about what you do in this life. The foundational statement of the Gospel is to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will take care of itself.[7]

Meanings and means

The metaphors built into the Hebrew language lend themselves to creating new doctrines by denying alternative uses of words or by altering their meaning. The Pharisees were known to unmoor the meaning of the metaphor until they were worshiping the letter as they interpreted it leading to many false doctrines which created traditions that weakened the poor[8] and the general population from the righteous ways of God.

There are traditions that have to do with the doctrines of men that counter the Doctrines of Jesus. Men create new things we are told we must believe in that Jesus never mentions. They impose the concepts on people which is bad enough but they often at the same time cause the people to walk in ways contrary to the Christ and The Way of righteousness.[9]

Means and methods

We were not to do lie those who say in the governing seat of Moses. At least some of the reason for that instruction was their Corban.

Men establish doctrines of their own by studying the Bible and constructing additional doctrines based on their private interpretation, study, depending on their conjecture rather than the true comforter.

Some of these doctrines of men may be true but some may be false or misleading.[10] using the Bible.

While we may certainly examine these doctrines of men we should never let them divide us into denominations for the denominator of the Church appointed by Jesus and the Kingdom of God is Christ alone.

To fail to put His teachings first will allow false christs to overshadow the true Doctrines of Jesus with the traditions of men, even if they are gleaned from the Bible.[11]

Our dependence upon the the covetous practices of legal charity of the Public religions of the world has returned the masses to become entangled again in the yoke of bondage. We have need of repentance.

    Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. 17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods. 18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see."
    Isaiah 30:20 "And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed,..."
    Matthew 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
    Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
    Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recoveing of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
    John 9:39 ¶ "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
    Luke 6:39 "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
    Acts 13:11 "And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
  2. 2.0 2.1 Eyes darkened
    Psalms 69:22 "Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake."

    John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." See Born again.
  3. Bread of oppression
    Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
    Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
    Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
  4. John 11:11 "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."
  5. Luke 9:60 "Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
    Luke 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
    1 Timothy 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
  6. Not exercise authority
    Matthew 20:25 "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you:..."
    Mark 10:42 "But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you:..."
    Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye [shall] not [be] so:..."
  7. Kingdom at hand
    “‭So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” Luke 21:31.
    “‭And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2
    “‭From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17.
    “‭And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 10:7
    “‭And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15
    “‭16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.Luke 22:16 and then he ate
    “‭36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you... ‭41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. ‭43 And he took it, and did eat before them.Luke 24:41-43
  8. Ezekiel_16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
    And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; Genesis 18:20
    The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Isaiah 3:9 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. Lamentations 4:6
  9. : Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
    2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
    2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

  11. Some men say WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT… THE BIBLE
    The Holy Spirit Guided human authors so that what thy wrote in Scripture is accurate and without error…Ultimately, the real value of the Bible is realized in our life as we apply the Scriptures to Life.
    GOD
    Our view of God will impact the way we live…God is defined as Spirit, a person, life, self-existent, unchanging, unlimited by time and space, and a unity….God consistently works out His eternal plan by guiding and overseeing all things by His wise and holy purpose.
    CHRIST
    Jesus was in fact God incarnate in human form. He is the second person in the Trinity who came to live among us, die for us, and resurrect that someday we might be able to live with Him forever.
    THE HOLY SPIRIT
    The Holy Spirit is not merely a force, but has all the attributes of personality and is also God as the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit’s work brings us to Christ and salvation, equips us for ministry, empowers us for service, and produces spiritual fruit in our life. To better understand The Trinity, read this related Article
    PEOPLE
    People are unique beings. Contrary to the evolutionary view of origins, the biblical view of people identifies them as unique from animals, created in the image and likeness of God. People have both a physical and metaphysical aspect — body and soul or spirit. Because of our ancestral parent’s failure to obey God, sin was introduced into the human experience — causing the need for reconciliation to God our creator.
    SALVATION
    The single most significant experience in life is that involved in receiving the salvation provided by Christ on the Cross. This experience involves conversion, regeneration, justification, and sanctification and grants us eternal life with Christ.
    THE CHURCH
    Jesus instituted the church as a means of Christians assembling together to encourage and help one another in the Christian life and to enable them to be more effective in reaching out to others. In summary, the “ekklesia (Greek for church) is a group of “called-out ones” established for worship, instruction, fellowship, and evangelism.
    ESCHATOLOGY (END TIMES)
    Eschatology literally means “the study of last things.” The doctrine of eschatology can be divided into two themes: “personal eschatology” which is the study of God’s final judgements and the eternal state — heaven or hell — and “prophetic eschatology” which is the study of the second coming of Christ and the various events related to His return.
