POINT OF TRUTH| MARK CHAPTER 7:1-23: WHATSOEVER FOOD YOU EAT, ENTER IN YOUR BELLY CANNOT DEFILE?

POINT OF TRUTH | MARK CHAPTER 7: 1-23: WHATSOEVER ENTER MAN'S BELLY, CANNOT DEFILE, PURGING ALL MEATS?


(v.) 1-2. The Pharisees and Scribes always followed Jesus, not to listen and accept the teaching but only to find fault. This time they saw something wrong with His disciples. What did the Pharisees and Scribes notice or see wrong here? Was it what the disciples ate or did they not wash their hands?


● it is very clear in that record in verse 2 that it is “DO NOT WASH THE HANDS OF JESUS’ DISCIPLES ”.
● And we can still see the point that there is nothing wrong with what they eat.
● what did the disciples ate in verse 2? According to King James Version "And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault." (Mark 7: 2)

(v.) 3-4. It was not wrong for Jesus not to practice or observe the legacy of man-made traditions. Can you wash without water?

● IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS, THAN TO FOLLOW TRADITIONS OR COMMANDMENTS MADE ONLY BY MAN

(v. 5-8). What does God command His Chosen People to do? (Lev. 11 & Deut. 14).
● IT IS NOT WRONG TO NOT WASH THE HANDS OF THE DISCIPLES, OTHERWISE, NOT TO MAKE THEIR FOOD UNCLEAN OR HATEFUL (v.2).
● IT’S WRONG IF THEIR EAT IS DIRTY OR HATEFUL, EVEN IF THEY BATH MANY TIMES.
● BY EXCESSIVELY FOLLOWING AND INCREASING TRADITIONS MADE ONLY BY MEN, YOU WILL BE AWAY FROM GOD. (V.6-13)

(v.) 15. Why did Jesus say these words: "There is nothing from without a man, that, when it enters into him, he may defile him, but those things which come out of him shall defile the man."
● THE FOOD OF THE DISCIPLES IS NOT UNCLEAN OR DISGUSTING.
● IT'S NOT LITERAL, WHY? THE DEFILING OF THE SOUL (v.20-23)
● IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT LITERALLY “There is nothing outside the man, that, if it enters him, can defile him”, WHY? KALIBANGA IMONG LABAS! (Result). Hala! Just pour water down the drain or toilet. Really enjoy the outdoors!

(v.) 19. The Lord Jesus was right when He said, “meats may be eaten”.
● when did God’s chosen people actually become “FOOD” the Hateful “CONSIDERED” food of the Gentiles. ● let us remember that in verses 1 to 23, the Lord Jesus did not speak to the Gentiles. To make you think that it is right to eat unclean and disgusting things.
