I want to mention a few things that are not in the Bible, but based on how many times we hear about them, we could get the idea they were.
1. The word legalism in any form is not found in the Bible.
2. The word Judaizer is not found in the Bible.
3. Pharisee in the Bible refers to members of a religious sect. It is never used as a word to describe individuals who closely adhere to the law. You could faithfully follow the law and not be a Pharisee, or be a Pharisee that failed to keep the law.
4. You will never find the phrase, "faith plus nothing."
These things are repeated as propaganda and brainwashing techniques. They repeat them so much, people assume they are Biblical.

I just want to add that the Pharisees never kept the (true) law of God.
Jesus did. The Pharisees didn't (actually, none of us did; Jesus did).
It is like this:
You can obey the laws of the land and never go to jail, but that wouldn't make you go to heaven or appear righteous before God.
And the laws of the land is not always in agreement with the law of God.
“But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags...” - Isaiah 64:6
Blessings!

Blessings! That is true. They did not keep the law blameless, and even when we do our best, we come up short, but Jesus never failed. He is the only man that kept the law to the letter as intended.

Blessings! Amen to that. Jesus said observe what they say, but not to follow their example because the Pharisees were hypocrites. They imposed laws and traditions on the people, but didn't practice what they preached.

Those accusations and claims are based on false doctrine created by children of the bond woman. They live in bondage to sin and seek to justify it. By their own mouths, they testify they sin throughout the day, every day.

It is hard (if not impossible) to believe that people who sin and are happy about it have ever tasted of God's grace.
“And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant...” - Luke 19:22
“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:37
“Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose,
will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot,
counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing,
and insulted the Spirit of grace?” - Hebrews 10:29
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly in the present age...” - Titus 2:11-12
They are just walking in the opposed direction of what God's (real) grace teach us.

THEY GIVE A BAD TESTIMONY , they line up with what this man Said . They promise them liberty , YET THEY THEMSELVES are the servants of sin . NOT GOOD .

Any ideas on what he meant by that . Well lets continue . LORD we were never in bondage TO ANY MAN , WHAT Do you MEAN ye shall be made FREE . HE who is the servant of SIN is in BONDAGE , WHOM the SON SETS FREE IS FREE .

CAUSE HE SAID , if you BELIEVE ON ME and CONTINEU IN ME , I WILL SET YOU FREE . and paul CONFIRMS ALL THIS .

They are greatly limiting God's power.

As I have been shown the serious nature of sin, and the Lord has been warning me, and having me warn others that we need to get our houses in order, the one thing that keeps coming to my mind is that we have been lied to! The false preachers and prophets of our day have been making up one lie after another to allow people to live in sin without feeling fearful or feeling conviction about it. No place in the Bible does it indicate that God wants us to trust in Daddy God that we can live however we want without worrying about our salvation, and call that entering into God's rest. The Bible tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. The Bible never says we are saved by faith without obedience to the Lord. That is as far removed from the truth as the false Catholic doctrine was that created a religious system of man-made observances to be saved.
I really fear for the church today, because the vast majority are on the broad road to destruction. Even that has been perverted. Jesus said that straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it, so these deceivers have twisted that to say there are really a huge number in heaven, not few, and the reason it says few find it is because most reject Jesus entirely. While it is true that many will wind up in hell because of unbelief and a rejection of Jesus Christ, there are many more that will wind up in hell besides those who entirely say no to Jesus. There are the lukewarm, the backslid, those who continue to live in their sinful lifestyles after claiming to have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Huge numbers will stand before the throne of God in shock, because they were taught all of their life that their salvation was based on "faith plus nothing," or having the "faith of a little child," and the way they lived did not matter, but they will be cast out. Thankfully, that does not have to be any of us. We can heed the warnings now, and get all in before it is too late. Straddling the fence is dangerous. Repent of any known sins today, and ask the Lord to forgive you and even to point out sins you may not have recognized as sin in your life. Now is the time. Tomorrow may be too late.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1 Peter 1:17-19
