As weird as this question may sound, were they fallen angels or not ? Why was Jesus so mad at them calling them hypocrites, generation of vipers, fools even. Did Jesus not say not to call any human a fool ? Were the pharisees then non-human ? Were they the fallen angels from Genesis 6:4 that took wifes and cohabitated with them ? This would explain why Jesus, on one hand promoted the idea to love thy neighbour, but on the other, was extrimely mad at those pharisees.

No. Jesus didn't say don't call anyone a fool either. What Jesus did say was that if you call someone a fool you may be in danger of the fires of Hell. Since Jesus was obviously not in danger of the fires of Hell and He was justified in His position He was fine in calling them fools. Get it?

No. The whole angels coming to earth and marrying women occurred prior to the flood of Noah's day. After that they were banned from doing that again.
Keep on reading the various accounts of Jesus' speeches to the Pharisees and Saducees and you'll see that the Pharisees were out to keep their positions as the religious leaders because they were making money off of the people and the sacrifices being made in the temple. They were also not teaching the people the truth about the Mosaic laws that God had established - like they made up laws for the people (adding onto what God had established - e.g. you couldn't save a drowning man or animal on the Sabbath, while the Mosaic law said not to work on the Sabbath - the religious leaders said saving a life was working - God isn't that harsh).
That's only part of it, but if you want more info, e-mail me.

Because they were Kenites, or sons of Cain, whose father is the devil himself. The bible clearly shows us that Cain's offspring are the true enemies of Christ and Christians.
Study the scriptures in the original languages, with a qualified bible teacher, and let go of the traditions of man who will try to tell you that Eve ate an apple in the garden of Eden.
The Kenites are still alive and well and will lead everyone who is biblically illiterate into worshipping the Antichrist who comes pretending to be the real Christ.

No, they were not fallen angels, but they were sell-outs to Rome as far as other Jews and early Christians were concerned. That's why the NT treats them so harshly. Pharisaic Judaism is the woman riding the beast in Revelation (the beast being the Roman empire).

No they werent fallen angels, rather they were people who are still around today. These were people who knew the Law inside and out, pointed out everyones flaws and thought they were great. We see people like this today in any church you walk into. These were the people Jesus dispised, Those He found favor with were the humble honest ones.

No. Jesus did not condemn righteous anger ... it was sinful anger that He spoke against. He had a righteous anger towards the Pharisees who were keeping the Jews from coming to Him and adding tons of regulations to God's law, that God had never created.

no, there is no biblical evidence to that extent. the pharisees were full of themselves, proud, hypocrits and judgemental. jesus hates the proud but loves the humble. the pharisees are in the bible to show us how not to live. and yet, there are people, even christians, today who act just like them.

NO. The reason Jesus was so mad at them is, they had the scriptures, they new all the prophesies, yet the refused to see them fulfilled so they could remain in control and not give up all the lies they had imposed on the people.

The Pharisees and Sadducee's were two groups of priests and high priests who, begrudgingly, took turns in being fully in charge of the Temple in Jerusalem.. Just Jewish Clergy--nothing more.

No,they were the current religious authorities of the day and Jesus was so mad at them because they were leading many astray from God the father, whom Jesus came to declare.
