Accept Christ's Word in Mark 7:6-13 - or reject it??

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

For any others wondering my position, the whole OT law is dead for Christians,

That's your position, clearly. But you haven't yet discovered the Gospel's position, which is that the reborn sinner is dead to the Law. The Law must be very much alive still if the saved sinner must be dead to it.

You're mixed up; not the Gospel or the Law.

 

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

The "Not one jot or title will be struck from the law" statement Christ made, that is true as well, for those outside Christ, those of the world, those that havnt accepted Christs new covenant

True; and true for any and all of <<those outside Christ, those of the world, those that have not accepted Christ's New Covenant>>. Nothing conditional about it! Because the Law is clear and “SHARPER than a two edged sword” SO ALIVE AND VALID, and for everyone under the sun without distinction, SO EFFECTIVE.

Good news is that a lot more people deciding to accept the teaching of Christ in Mark 7 - according to the voting... vs those determined to reject His teaching in that chapter.

Can you differentiate who Christ is talking to and when
Jesus is talking to a Jew.
We are not Jews, we are christians, we have a different covenant.

What Jewish laws do we keep, what ones do we dismiss, simple question

Hint - New Covenant

"THIS is the Covenant I will make with the HOUSE of ISRAEL and the HOUSE of Judah" Jeremiah 31:31-33

And another big hint is in Matt 28 where we are told to teach everyone else what HE TAUGHT in the Gospels.

If that is not enough ... in Matt 24 it is "THIS Gospel of the kingdom" that is to be preached in all the world.

Just when you are certain you are to ignore the teaching of Christ - because it is "not for you" in your theology.

Why go down that road?
