uhhh no
No he was not, and warned others about their behavior. ---- ANSWER: There is good reason to believe that if Jesus was not a Pharisee, He certainly agreed with much of their doctrines. Over 90 percent of the teachings of Jesus contain parallels in the surviving pharisaic teachings contained in the Talmud. Jesus also endorses only the Pharisees in Matt 23:1 .

∙ 15y agoJesus was not a pharisee. The pharisees were essentially a sect of religious leaders who received intense training in the Law of Moses and advocated strict adherence to these laws and the traditions passed down to them. Jesus advocated a New Covenant, one that was based on faith in Him rather than earning one's salvation based on Old Testament laws. Jesus often spoke against the legalism and arrogance of the Pharisees. In Matthew 23, Jesus is recorded as saying six different times, "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!" ---- Most scholars agree that Jesus belonged to one of the Pharisaic sects. Jesus' view on divorce follows the tradition of the Pharisaic sect of the house of Shammai. However the majority of Jesus' doctrine fits well within the sect of the Pharisaic house of Hillel. Others believe that he was a Pharisee similar to Honi the Circle-drawer (Choni HaMe'agel) who was a miracle worker. While most of these are plausible what stands out the most is the fact that Jesus' doctrine not only aligns with the Pharisees but much of Jesus' behavior is Pharisaic in nature. His use of parables, belief in angels and his quarrels with Sadducees are overwhelmingly similar to behaviour recorded by prominent Pharisees in the Talmud. As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck. It's probably a duck. ----

Who demanded the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?
Generally, the crowd before Pontius Pilate, led by the Pharisees and elements of the Sanhedrin.
Who is the most religious person ever?
Jesus Christ. ---- Actually, Jesus was not "religious" in the traditional sense. That was why he was in constant conflict with the Pharisees. He did not conform to their religious traditions and customs. Jesus was "spiritual", but not "religious".
Who is the Jesus according to the pharisees?
The pharisees believed the messiah had not come.
Why did pharisees refuse to accept Jesus as their king?
Because they did not believe his miracles nor his words, and when he told them plainly that he was the Christ, the son of the Blessed, they crucified him.
What type of Christian was Jesus?
Jesus was a Jew. A Christian is a person who follows Jesus. So Jesus could not be a Christian, because He wasn't following Himself.
What differences exist between Jesus and the pharisees?
The Pharisees believed in the letter of the law. Jesus believed in the spirit of the law.
What did the Pharisees call Jesus?
The Pharisees referred to Jesus as "rabbi," a term meaning teacher or master. They also used the derogatory term "Beelzebul" to accuse Jesus of being possessed by demons or Satan.
How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?
Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.
Why the Animosity towards the Pharisees when in Acts 5 verses 34-36 Gamaliel a Pharisee defended Peter a follower of Jesus from the Sanhedrin?
Not all the Pharisees were against Jesus and the Christians. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and member of the Sannhedrin in Jesus' time. Gamaliel also was evidently a reasonable person although most of the Pharisees rejected Jesus, His message and person. Thus it is clear that the writers of the Bible accounts took into account the specific reactions of individuals to Christ and the Christian message. They were thus not prejudiced but based their judgment on specific information, although it is true it seems that by far the majority were hostile to Christ.
What was the pharisees and Sadducee attitude toward Jesus Christ?
they posed as Gods priests yet opposed Jesus who was God at every opportunity...in essence they were blind guides as a group yet had a few who had the Light revealed to them
What did jesus say to the people that made him get crucified?
Somethings Jesus Christ said were in contradiction to what the Pharisees believed. He showed them the truth and they didn't want to hear it. And Jesus didn't 'get' crucified, He allowed Himself to be crucified out of love for us and obedience to His Father.
What was Jerusalem known for in the time of Jesus?
It was noted as being the home [house] of the Jewish god. It was destroyed forever shortly after the scribes and pharisees of of the landpersuaded the Romans to kill Jesus who was the Christ or if you prefer the Jewish title - Messiah.
