This is the Deep South. The Bible Belt. Everyone knows about the Pharisees, right?

The holier-than-thou, legalistic, do-gooders talked about in the Bible who, when it came to obeying law, were all about crossing every &#8216;t&#8217; and dotting every &#8216;i.&#8217; Unfortunately, they were clueless when it came to the spirit of the law.

The law said to rest on the Sabbath. So, in their eyes, the healing a person stricken with a debilitating ailment on the Sabbath is sinful. That&#8217;s not resting on the Sabbath. Jesus hammered them for thinking like that.           ]]></description>
