No, we ran them off.
Let's do get this straight.
Jesus was an Essene by faith,
a Judahite (from David) by birth,
a Judean of Judea by citizenry,
but NOT a Jew by faith, as we know it.
He knew so much about their faith, they had to kill him.
The Pharisees however, were of a different faith sect (than the Essenes) and of a darker racial complexion (as confirmed in a letter of Pilate at the time).
Excellent point. Churches follow Paul today.
Jesus taught many things different (much beyond) Paul.
We here, follow Truth, which is as He appointed.
