I am looking for text in the Bible as to whether the Pharisees called the Apostles and their TEACHINGS(specifically) heretical. Did the Pharisees call them "HERETICS"?

The Pharisees definately had their own preconcieved ideas of who and what the Messiah looked like. I have been uable to find a direct quote in the Bible from the Pharisees that use the word "Heretics" but scripture is clear that they did not like Jesus's teachings.

Jesus questions their beliefs in ...
Matthew 22:41-45 (NKJV)
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, [42] saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The Son of David." [43] He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:

[44] 'The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool" '?

[45] "If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?"


Jesus was not shy with them and he often confronted them with strong words...
Mark 12:38-40 (NKJV)
Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, [39] the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, [40] who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

They accused Jesus of working with Satan...
Matthew 12:24
»Intro »Profiles »Charts »Index
12:24 The Pharisees had already accused Jesus of being in league with the prince of demons (Matthew 9:34). They were trying to discredit him by using an emotional argument. Refusing to believe that Jesus came from God, they said he was in league with Satan. Jesus easily exposed the foolishness of their argument.

And finally....We can see from Saul, prior to his conversion, that he did not approve of Stephen's (or the Christian ) teaching

Acts 8:1 (NKJV)
Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

He was convinced he was correct in his thinking until he had a personal experience with Jesus.
Acts 22:1-8 (NKJV)
"Brethren and fathers, hear my defense before you now." [2] And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent. Then he said: [3] "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today. [4] I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, [5] as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished. [6] Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. [7] And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' [8] So I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'

This is a portion of a conversation he had that clear shows the Pharisees did not agree with the teaching.

Acts 23:6-9 (NKJV)
But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!" [7] And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided. [8] For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection--and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. [9] Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."


Hope this helps.

The only mention of the word heretic in the New Testament is in Titus 3:10

I dont think they exactly did that but they were not happy with the wave of influence the Apostles had. Not sure which text but I believe the book of Acts of the Apostles would give you an answer. Best of luck!

they didn't use that word to my knowlage but they didn't want jesus saying what he did because they were afraid he would bring the romans down on them and wipe them out and that eventually happened in the 70s ce i think.
jesus was obviosly teaching something other than the sermon on the mound.
the sadducees were most intimidated by jesus teaching, their worst fear being the romans taking their puppet temple priesthood away. this happened when the romans destroyed the temple. jesus seems to have been affiliated with the jewish resistance to the roman occupation.

There are a few apps you would see who your boyfriend is texting, however a few of them dont paintings and plus they will cost you $nine.ninety nine a month. So i dont believe its valued at it. But for those who fairly suppose that he is dishonest simply ask him for his cellphone an see on your self. If now not then he is being sketchy an hiding matters he dont wish you to peer.
