Pharisees are people who say "You conform to our view, our understanding of what the bible says, then you'll be acceptable round here". Jesus says "I accept you. Now let's work on the process of change, maybe."
Obviously doing the opposite of Jesus is not great. But sometimes it's just because we don't fully remember what Jesus was about.
When preaching, Rowland sometimes asks what Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery. He says he can read people's lips "Go and sin no more" and they've forgotten that Jesus said something before that. "I do not condemn you".

Now if only more Christians would see it the Jesus-way and not the Pharisee-way!
