db125/126/127: it seems these were not the only
OCCASIONS
ON WHICH YEHOSHUA
DEFENDS CONSERVATIVE HALAKHIC STANDS?!
In the socalled WOE~SAYINGS in Matai 23, YESHUA/'Jesus'
twice rails against pharisaic law & offers an alternative halakhic opinion!
In all matters, that of oaths (vv. 16-22) & the subject of purifying vessels (vv. 25/26),
Yeshu objects to the leniency of the Pharisees ànd offers an alternative/stricter ruling! We could
and would assert, moreover, that Yesh's Galilean Disciples were following their own accepted traditional practice
in their refusal of the (nonbiblical) notion that impure foods should render the body impure
& hence their refusal to wash their hands
before eating?!
Yesh's disciples
are upbraided by these upstarts
from YERUSHALAYIM for not observing the purity strictures that they then had introduced
& insisted to demand on their basis of
the "traditions of the elders!"
Yesh responds vigorously,
accusing them of hypocrisy & of ascribing to their own rulings
& practices an importance greater than that of the Torah!? There is thus nothing in Mark's version of this pas-sage, let alone Matai's,
that suggests that Jesus is calling for (any) abandoning the Torah at all!!
The Galileans were antipathetic to all
of the urban JUDAEAN/Jerusalemite
pharisaic innovations!
Thus,
when put into its historical context,
the chapter is perfectly clear:
MARK
was a Jew & his "Jesus"
DID
keep kosher!
At least in its attitude
toward the embodied practices of the Torah,
Mark's Gospel does not in any way con-stitute even a baby step
in the direction of the invention of 'Christianity' as a
NEW RELIGION
or as a departure from Judaism
at all!
