Were the Pharisees bad people?
The Pharisees were, along with the Sadducees, one of the two major Jewish sects in the early years of the first century. Their religious beliefs were very closely aligned to those of Christianity, apart from belief in Jesus as the Messiah or Son of God, and they shared an interest in helping the poor. Some have suggested that for these reasons, they were in competition with Christianity for potential converts, and for that reason the early Christian writers disparaged the Pharisees.AnswerThe Pharisees were one of several Jewish sects. They were the most egalitarian group, in that they argued for equal rights for all people. The Pharisees are portrayed terribly in the Christian bible, but it's a very biased portrayal, where the blame for the death of Jesus is shifted from the dominant, oppressive Romans to the oppressed Jews. The Pharisees believed in both the written Torah and also the Oral Torah, or Talmud, which was also given to the Jews, by G-d, at Mount Sinai.The Pharisees were very highly respected as being the religious leaders in the Jewish religion of their day. But they were not pleasing to God because they added to the Law of God by making it even more strict than God Himself had. The Law had said nothing, for instance, about how many steps one could take on the Sabbath. The Law simply said not to work on the Sabbath. But the Pharisees said that taking more than a certain amount of steps in walking was considered work. Jesus rebuked them for things like this. There are many such examples in the Gospels. Just check out any concordance, look up the word Pharisees and read the verses there.
Why do some christians support equal rights for women in religion and why do some not?
Some people on both sides of that argument sincerely believe that their positions have scriptural support. Arguably, some others among those who oppose equal rights for women and others are actually demonstrating their innate hypocrisy. The ones who don't seem to support equal rights believe that God created men and women for different goals and purposes. They believe that men were created to be the spiritual leaders of the home and the greater society.

Why did Jesus say do not call anyone father on earth Mt 23 910?
Jesus said this to condemn pride and pretense. It is quite ok to call you dad father. Jesus was speaking of spiritual titles and giving undue spiritual authority to a human being, as if he were the the source of truth rather than God.
What consequence does a bad confession have?
It depends on what religion you believe in. Some religions believe that there will be a consequence to a bad confession. But I am a christian. And what I believe is when you confess your sins, no matter how bad. You receive immediate forgiveness from God, our Lord and Savior. He wants you to repent for your sins, to be cleansed. And most importantly, to know right from wrong. He wants you to live a happy life. So no. There is no consequence. Not when you ask for forgiveness and forgive yourself. Because in God's eyes ALL sin is equal.
