What else can I help you with?
Which religious groups were against Jesus in his time?
The Sadducees opposed Jesus, they were the Temple , priestly group. He was also opposed by some of the Pharisees who were the faction which represented the Lay folk.
Why did the pharisees and teachers of religious law complain about Jesus?
They were jealous that Jesus spent time with the ordinary people. The scribes and Pharisees thought they were the spiritual people of that time. Again and again Jesus showed them that they were far from the truth. So they criticized Him and eventually had Jesus killed. But that was all part of God's plan.
What did the disciples do wrong according to the pharisees?
The pharisees weren't real christians. They were just pretending. Jesus saw through their deciet and called them out on it. Therfore the pharisees hated Jesus. the disciples were Jesus's close followers so they hated them too. Hope this helps!
Did Jesus give up his Jewish faith to become a Christian?
The only evidence we have is the text of the Gospels. The teachings of Jesus recorded there are within the range of teachings you'd find within the Pharisees, so if the only text we had was the Gospels, without Acts, Paul's letters and so on, scholars would probably conclude that Jesus was a Pharisee. Leaders among the Pharisees had desciples, Jesus had desciples. Jesus hung out in synagogues and argued with Pharisees, and typical Pharisees out in synagogues and argue with each other. The arguments got quite heated, more heated even than some of the Gospel quotations about the Pharisees. So, I'd say that there's no evidence that Jesus "gave up his Jewish faith."
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.
Why did Jesus denounce the Pharisees more than he did any other group?
The gospels record that Jesus hung out with Pharisees, studied with Pharisees, ate with Pharisees and argued with Pharisees. If you look at what we know about the Pharisees from the Mishnah, which is largely a record of the opinions of the Pharisees, we know that they denounced each other on many occasions as a routine part of their rhetorical style. Jesus fits right in, so closely that most Jews who have studied the Gospels conclude that Jesus was probably a Pharisee and either a member of the school of Hillel or allied to that school of thought. His denunciations sound very much like typical denunciations from the school of Hillel aimed at the school of Shamai.

Why did Jesus call the Pharisees hypocrites?
Because they were. They were so wrapped up in their traditions that they completely missed Jesus as the Messiah. Not only did they not recognize Him for what He was, but because of pride they felt threatened by Him and His teachings. This is why they had Jesus crucified.
Did Jesus show hatred toward the Pharisees?
He did not actually show hatred to them h only criticized them for being so hypocritical.
What does Jesus have to do with the pharisees?
The pharisees were the religious people of their day, and Jesus, as the Son of God, was running into them whenever he was in Jerusalem, the location of the Jewish Temple the seat of the Jewish religion. They opposed His teachings and signs and wonders. The pharisees wanted a religion based on outward works, Jesus had come to set-up His kingdom in the hearts of men and women. Jesus said that "a time is coming, and now is, when those who worship the Father will do so in spirit and in truth", not external worship at a place or temple but an internal worship coming from within the human spirit.
Why did Jesus refuse to perform the miracle for the pharisees?
God cannot be commanded to do anything. He is not tame. Even the Devil can do miracles, so they prove nothing.
Is the father in The Parable of the Prodigal Son being merely foolish and sentimental?
No I don't think so. The parable was told as a rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' time. Jesus came to call the nation of Israel to repent but the scribes and Pharisees thought Jesus should be talking with them the "spiritual leaders" not the common people. The father in the parable represents God and shows His desire for Israel to repent and turn to Him.
