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 blinded them?
Why did they live in darkness?
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.
Most "modern Christians" believe in "doctrines of men" that are posing as the doctrine of Jesus. They are in need of repentance just like those men who call themselves New but are adversaries of The doctrine of Moses and Abraham.

Doctrines of men

We can look up the Doctrines of Jesus by reading those printed statements of parables, directives, and 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 if those institutions calling themselves churches are truly His Church.

The creation of new doctrines by men through the logic and private interpretation of men and their institutions of authority should always be questioned, especialy since it was a directive of Christ that His disciples did not exercise authority one over the other.

We have been warned that men who often "lack knowledge"<Rek name"'lackkn">Lack knowledge

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.</Ref> of God will produce teachings contrary to the word of God and even the impose directives and commandments that are false while proclaiming themselves to be of Christ.

The often errant, fictional, and private interpretations of the Torah by the people like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots who distorted the truths expressed by Moses at the time of Christ had brought Jews into an apostasy that made the Word of God to none effect.

back then was a pervasive result of the Sophistry of vain scholars climbing around in their own personally 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".

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.

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. 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” already according to Jesus because they “sit in darkness”.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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.
