And [Gamaliel, a Pharisee,] said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men..."
Acts 5:35
Gamaliel's advice to let God decide the question of the Apostles' supposed heresy in Acts 5:35-39 isn't universally applicable. In some cases (idolatry, false prophets, etc.), God has already passed judgment and told us what to do. I suspect that Gamaliel was sympathetic to #yeshua and The Way. I wonder what he thought of Saul's overzealous activities.
Contrary to popular Christian belief, the Pharisees were always the more moderate and reasonable party among the first century Jewish leadership. Yeshua aligned quite closely with the Pharisees on many issues, while he rebuked them harshly on some.

Thought for Today: Thursday January 12:
James 4:8 says – [Come near to YHVH and He will come near to you]. What a blessed Promise this is! It means that each of us can come close to Elohiym, with the assurance that He will come close to us – so close that we become conscious of His Presence. Whatever it takes, make time to be alone with Him today, tomorrow and in your future. Remember! He wants your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He forgave you your sins, at the cost of His Son Yeshua HaMoshiach. He has given you His Word and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship. He will come near to you if you are willing to come near to Him.
