Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
How does acceptance of the Prophets and Oral Torah make the Pharisees more liberal? Their observance was more strict (they taught that one should put a fence around the Torah) and that makes them more conservative.And that was my point, they only accepted the written Torah, and literally, while the Pharisees believed an oral tradition open to interpretation, which they believed went back to Moses.
