How is the teaching of the Pharisees and Saducees like yeast?
It`s a wrong yeast that kills life that does not bring out the full and real menaing of the taeching but blinds. The dough cannot rise. The unleavened kind of bread comes to mind...it`s flat cause the Law of Love, the loving application of the Law has not vivified it. And it`s not bread we are talking about but him the Bread of life and us our divine souls that need that Yeast and that bread ...when you make bread i think you mix some risen ''Jesus'' to the unrisen dough ''us humans''.

The teachings of the Pharisees and Saducees were like a yeast that had gone bad. They taught everything that was against God`s word and work.

Becuse they are of evil. The yeast in bread is fine but when you put the three of them together it is bad.

Yeast causes things to increase, swell or spread. The Pharisees and Saducees were not spreading the true teachings of God, or instructing people on the correct path to salvation. Jesus is warning them, because if they believed in the wrong teachings, this could eventually over-take and corrupt their souls. Right now, I`m thinking about when I use to bake bread. When the yeast is added, your dough rises and expands. After some time of resting your dough is now twice the size that it originally was. You pound it, beat it down, and then once again it expands to twice the size....so, this is what makes me think. Depending on what kind of yeast you put into your life, creates the kind of individual that you will eventually become. Do you want the yeast of the Pharisees and Saducees or the yeast of God? If you put the wrong yeast into your batch, no matter how hard you try to pound it down, it will rise again...so put the right yeast into your life...God`s yeast ''or teachings''

The corrupt teaching of the Pharisees and Suducees was like yeast in that it fermented whatever it came in contact with, causing it to sour, swell and spread, like leavened dough.

It is like a yeast because yeast is used to bloat bread and the pharisees were teaching falsely to others by imposing on them to be the right thing for them to follow.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread. Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
Jesus, perceiving it, said, "Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, 'because you have brought no bread?' Don't you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up? How is it that you don't perceive that I didn't speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
