db124b indeed, it is not what goes into the mouth


THAT
RENDERS ONE
IMPURE BUT THE IMPURE INTENTIONS OF A HEART,
AS SIGNIFIED BY THE HALAKHIC FACT THAT THINGS THAT GO OUT OF THE BODY CAUSE IMPURITY.
AS WE HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, ALL OF THE PRACTICES TO WHICH JESUS REFERS AS PHARISAIC ~
the frequent hand washing/the washing of vessels ~ are closely connected with the particular traditions of the Pharisees
regarding the encroachment of impure foods
on the purity of the body.

Those Pharisees who believe
that impurity (literal, halakhic impurity) comes from without
miss entirely the spiritual import of the Torah's rule about impurity coming from within! In other words,
Yesh's complaint against them is not at all some minor trivial point about unnecessary stringencies (whatever some think,
he was not just some liberal preacher-teacher) but a vitally important point about the interpretation of the halacha,
which in his view the Pharisees have completely distorted, abandoning the Torah here
as well as in the other example given
(the support of parents)?

[Or forinstance walking through cornfields on the seventh day while plucking & rubbing in order to eat on their travels?]!

What Yesh argues then
is that when the Pharisees misunderstand the Law
& change it to allow impurity from outside in accord with their own tradition,
they are also revealing that they don't
hear the law at all!

They only read from outside & ignore the true inner meaning, just as they add external impurity?

The halakhic issue
is thus a perfect little parable!
When Yesh speaks of the impurity or impurity of foods,
he is thus not speaking about the kosher system at all,
but about the pharisaic understanding
of purity practices.

Neither Yehoshua nor the
EUANGELIST
did hold, suggest, or imply
that the new "Jesus Movement"
constituted a step
OUT
to form 'a new
religion'
...
OK!
