Who Were the Pharisees?/Who Are They Today?

Silly things people say without recognizing what they are saying;
Dean Sherman writting about the Pharisee’s said;
“The most important thing you need to remember about the Pharisees is that they were truly men of the Word. These men committed to memory all 39 books of the Old Testament, including the full texts of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Deuteronomy! But despite all their knowledge, they missed Jesus. They were committed to the truth of God yet they somehow missed the living Christ walking right beside them.”
So let me get this straight, the Pharisee’s followed God’s laws and words and best knew the prerequisites and roles written and people who never ever knew the books because they were gentiles, they seem to know more about the Messiah to come enough to pick their own? How twisted is this logic? Think, if they never accepted him what reason would there be but that he never fit. For those of lesser knowledge have chosen Jesus over the bible and over God and over rational thinking. Basically Dean is admiting all Christianity goes against all of God, the Bible and Logic. Dean Continued; “The Pharisees were harsh. They continually misrepresented God as a "can't wait to rain fire and brimstone on you" type of deity.”
That’s odd, ‘cause the disciples were the teachers of end times, the Essenes talked about battles but that was righteous vengences to remove the transgressions just as a dying tree removes the dead branches. So how does this man assume the Pharisees taught this Mean vengeful God? And who decides if this is mean, a sinner? If a sinner finds this cruel then perhaps in their perception it is. What would be just as cruel is allowing these sinners to destroy and devour the Goodness of the whole.
So who played Judge then? The Sinner did right? The one who knew less about God and the books and the secrets.
Now Dean’s statement and the rest of his description described the Church of Today. Teaching end time wrath and burning in hell, fire and brimstone REV 13 Beast bringing fire from the heavens. Now mirror that with this fact;
When Samaritans in a certain town refused to receive Jesus, two disciples went to Him and said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" (Luke 9:54)
So the question is did they hate the Pharisees because they were mean or because they made them look bad? Untill we study exactly how they were and what they taught then assumptions are mere hate propaganda, the same unwarranted hate the disciples claimed that emanated from the Pharisees.
Now Jesus in the next verse admits he’s not the “Son of Man” or you have to admit the New bible is twisted and contradicting;
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." (Luke 9:55-56)
Now if you claim Jesus will return after destruction then you admit he’s not the Messiah.
Also; because this is opposite of what Son of Man was to achieve thus admiting he’s not the son of man;
(Matthew 10: 34-40.)
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword [an Aramaic idiom meaning division]. For I have come to set a man against his father and a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me [worship death as he did] is not worthy of me. He who is concerned about his life shall lose it.....
