What Your Pastor NEVER Told You About Jesus & Jewish Tradition


Listen Later

Was Jesus against all tradition? Many churches teach that Yeshua came to abolish the "traditions of men," pitting him against the Pharisees and their customs. But what if that's not the whole story?

In this deep dive, Christopher Enoch challenges the common anti-tradition narrative by revealing the overwhelming evidence of Jesus and His apostles actively participating in Jewish traditions not explicitly written in the Torah. Discover how the "Oral Law" is not an enemy to be defeated, but an essential key to unlocking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures.

You will learn:

* The one specific tradition Jesus condemned and why it violated the Torah's greater commandments.

* Surprising Jewish traditions that Jesus practiced, including the Last Supper Seder, the Lord's Prayer (His version of the Amida), and even His method for defeating Satan.

* How the saying "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" comes directly from ancient Jewish traditional teaching.

* Why the apostles in the Book of Acts continued to live by the customs of the fathers.

* How your Bible translation itself relies on Jewish tradition to make sense of the original Hebrew.

If you've ever felt that something was missing from the modern understanding of the Bible, this episode will connect the dots and equip you to approach Scripture with the intellectual humility it deserves.
