What did Jesus say for us to teach?
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 28 - New International Version
Jesus Has Risen - After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was...www.biblegateway.com
True --
John 17:7 Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; 8 for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
He told the disciples to teach everything He taught - and He taught the the scriptures known to the Jews are to be accepted as "The Word of God" in Mark 7:6-13. HE also said in that same section that making-stuff up that contradicts that scripture is condemned.
And in Matt 24 He taught about events leading up to His appearing - AND he said that he was providing information so that true Christians would not be snookered by end-time deceptions where HE said would be so amazingly powerful they would deceive the whole world.
Back to Mark 7:
6 But He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother, is certainly to be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a person says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is, given to God),’ 12 you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
He said in Matt 22 that the first great commandment is "Love God with all your heart" Deut 6:5 and He said the SECOND greatest commandment is "Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18. Both of them from the Law of Moses.What are His commands which He here explicitly commands us to teach to others?
You will find them easily if you read/listen to His teachings to us in the gospels, such as this one:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
John 13:34 - Love One Another
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.biblehub.com
Lev 19:18 is quoted repeatedly by other NT writers outside the gospel accounts as well. IT was never deleted.
Jesus taught that Adam and Eve are literal history and that God gave us the institution of marriage.
Jesus said "THIS Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the World and then shall the end come" Matt 24
John reminds us in John 1 - that Jesus created the world - just like scripture says He did.
Paul reminds us that Jesus created man first and then woman and that woman came from man. 1 Cor 11:12 exactly as scripture says in Genesis 2.
IN Luke 16 Jesus taught that if people do not listen to Moses then they will not listen even though "one rises from the dead" (i.,e. - Jesus is that one that rose from the dead)
