My understanding of the Sadducees and Pharisees is that they strongly opposed to each other, but then along came Jesus and they both wanted to get onto Him. On the one issue of contention between them in the gospels it seems that Jesus was actually on the side of the Pharisees, but he never joined the Pharisees. Rather they stopped the questions from both sides because "Never man spake like this man". When it came down to it they joined forces in a conspiracy to kill him. Being right even one time does not mean we end up on God's side, does it? I don't want to derail this thread so I will go start my own...
Agreed, but when Christ beat the money changers away from the temple, do you think he was defending God or the Temple? Do you think he may have made them better men?
