Did the pharases think of Jesus as a reverse snob or a troll?

Answer 1

I think more as a threat to their way of life. A threat to their power and authority.

I think it also made them really angry that Jesus managed to live righteously and clearly had the power and favor of God, and that that mean service instead of glory.

His humility was an affront to them. And yet, their chief complaint against Him was that He equated Himself with God.

His influence over the people is what got Him killed. He was a very real threat to their way of life. They loved their prestige and power more than they loved God.

Answer 2

Th Pharasees almost certainly thought of Jesus as a snotty rabbi who would shake up the stable deal they had with the Roman rulers.

So Jesus was a troublemaker and a threat to the status quo, rather than a snob or troll. They were probably particularly upset by his cleverness in eluding their clumsy attempts to frame him or get him to say something politically inflammatory.

Answer 3

The Pharisees thought of him as a threat. They had a delicate balance of power with the Roman procurator and Jesus came in like a bull in a china shop. Caiaphas said, "it is expedient that one man should die so that the nation will live."

Answer 4

They considered him a blasphemer/heretic, and doing the bidding of demons and Satan.

Matthew 9 (Jesus Claim to be Divine)
5Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home."

Mark 14 (Jesus Claim to be Divine)
61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." 63The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. 64"You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death.

Mark 3 (Pharisees claim Possession)
22And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."

23So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. 28I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

Answer 5

I know what you mean by reverse snob & troll, but who is the jesus guy you are referring to?

Answer 6

If you mean the Pharisees, I don't think they thought of Him in either of those two ways. They were threatened by His power because they felt it undermined their power as the religious "authorities" of their day. Further, they could not comprehend a God who loved them and wanted a true relationship with His creation.

Answer 7

They saw Jesus as a political threat.

Answer 8

a reverse snob-- he was always trying to sell himself- like a political campaign!!! althooooough he was probably very troll-like in his actions

Answer 9

Troublemaker

Answer 10
