I heard about getting an extra name due to illness, for extra oomph to overcome it.
Are these 2 different things?

Typo: in post 4 above the full sentence should be "…by being compared to a Pharisee."

And I don't think there's much of an upside. Plenty of other ways to say someone is a bad person, or even that they're "doing xtianity wrongly" that doesn't throw Jews under the bus.
Let me get you another thread that might be useful 1 sec.

It's that you're repeating a phrase that seems innocuous but it's not. Thus why I mentioned dog-whistles; it _also_ gives cover for when people _do_ want to use it to mean Jews (because the text is literally the same).

It's anecdotal, but almost any Jew will tell you of an instance where a gentile would not befriend/hire/etc. a Jew and cite one of those verses as proof of their (the gentiles') negative opinion of the Jew. ("My kids friends told them that their parents forbade them to play with them is too common")

I'm not sure how to handle this. Not every xtian is taught the same things about Jews. And there are churches/seminars/communities with serious antisemitism problems. Good people cannot fathom that other people are taught really shitty things and dismiss the possibility.

It might've started as a full phrase, but then got shortened into a shorthand. The point is that you know it means bad because someone taught you that it's bad. Maybe you lucked out and it didn't include the implicit "like Jews". But a loooot of people get the full meaning.

But no one got insulted in the bible by being compared.
If you've only read the NT, and you heard someone use "x is a Pharisee" for the first time, I doubt it would be clear what the meaning is. Or even that it's a negative thing.

About the not using a quote comment I meant you specifically. I mean that "x is a Pharisee (and that means he's bad)" is not a thing from the bible. Yes Pharisees are mentioned, but usually it's a "I'm talking to you Pharisees, I think that blah".

I wouldn't use it as "changed so much and now it's indistinguishable", but rather in the "gained improvements" kinda way. Same as any society would.
2) as to how/why xtians made the connection? I'm not sure but it's also not that important.

2 things mainly. 1) is that after the destruction of the temple, the way of life advocated for by other sects was pretty much impossible. So Pharisee's way of doing things became the way all (most) Jews do things. 'Evolve' might be a misnomer. …

… the "…like a Jew" is still implicit by a sadly large amount of people. And such meaning is what your post will convey to them. Whether you want it or not.

Aka I'm not saying they are interchangeable because _we Jews_ think they are, but because we've seen antisemites do it, repeatedly, for a long time.
It's so common that it's become everyday language. And even tho the full meaning "hypocrite like a Jew" got sanded off into just "hypocrite", …
