The Leaven of The Pharisees Beware!

Leaven is like yeast, it is what causes bread to rise. Metaphorically leaven is used to describe, often times, the sinful influence of one or a group upon another. The Pharisees and Sadducees were such an influence upon those in the days that the Lord walked the earth, their influence being witnessed in the lives of Jesus' disciples. We witness this influence today upon the church in that we do not believe the written record, the Bible, to be trustworthy in regard to what it says, especially about our Lord. Beware!
