I actually didn't mean "like a Pharisee" like the Pharisees depicted in the gospels.
I meant like the Pharisees were back in the first century. They really liked to argue. Not just the two houses, The House of Hillel, and The House of Shammai, argued all the time, but they argued within their own like groups.
The truth is, the arguments Jesus had with the Pharisees was typical Pharisee bantering.
And it's likely that most of the teachings of Jesus came from the house of Hillel, as they were established already by Hillel.
Jesus was, after all, a Jew. And he certainly wasn't a Sadducee. Tho his teaching on divorce was already established by the house of Shammai sect of the Pharisees, who aligned with the Sadducees, the High Priest, and the Romans. Either way, Jesus had to be a Pharisee.
So we're in good company, arguing about doctrine.
