00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.860 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.860 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.680 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.800 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.340 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18.940 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.120 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.180 Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.520 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.180 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47.820 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.780 it's important that we remember that that the problem with judaism today as we find it and i
00:00:58.340 think that our text is saying you were already starting to see the beginnings of this concept
00:01:02.320 that i'm about to espouse but the problem with it today is not that it's half of the christian
00:01:07.860 religion there's a lot of evangelical christians i think that operate underneath that presupposition
00:01:14.240 and and we just haven't been properly or thoroughly educated about judaism we just we just don't
00:01:20.180 understand we think the problem with judaism is it's the old testament minus the new right that
00:01:25.100 it's half of the bible or or if we're you know saying you know literal counting you know word
00:01:29.620 count then it's you know two-thirds of the bible give or take but the problem is it just doesn't
00:01:34.420 include the new testament and and with that you know the biggest problem is it doesn't include
00:01:38.220 christ that they don't see christ as the messiah that they're still waiting for some other messiah
00:01:44.260 that they think jesus wasn't it and and that's a big problem now if that was the only problem with
00:01:49.780 judaism it would be a significant enough problem to send anyone who prescribes to judaism to hell
00:01:57.160 so it's a big that's that's enough of a problem any problem that's sufficient to get you to hell
00:02:03.040 is a big problem. It's a sufficient problem. But Judaism is far worse than that.
00:02:11.840 It's not just, you know, we have the Old and New Testament as Christians, and Jews have the Old
00:02:17.920 Testament. No, the better way to think of it is that we both have the Old Testament, and then we
00:02:23.660 each have two separate, completely contradicting lenses, hermeneutical tools for interpreting
00:02:32.380 that old testament so the christian has the old testament and then we have the new testament we
00:02:39.040 read the old in light of the new one theologian once said that the old testament is like a richly
00:02:46.440 furnished room but it's dimly lit and only in the light of christ primarily as christ is in the old
00:02:55.760 testament but christ clearly espoused by the apostles in the new do we have the light then
00:03:02.040 shed in this old testament richly furnished room where we can actually appreciate what's there
00:03:08.440 that i can appreciate this beautiful room in the light of the new testament for the jew it's not
00:03:16.260 just they only have the old testament or missing the new they have the torah old testament and the
00:03:21.940 talmud the talmud is their hermeneutical tool for interpreting the teachings found in the torah
00:03:29.660 so just like we read the old testament in light of the new testament they read the teachings of
00:03:34.700 moses what's actually in the old testament that actually is the inspired breathed out word of god
00:03:39.980 they read that but in light of the talmud which is in light of certain interpretations and exegesis
00:03:47.520 and certain rituals and certain traditions
00:03:49.740 by modern Jewish rabbis
00:03:53.300 since the writers of the Old Testament
00:03:55.940 who got it entirely wrong.
00:03:59.260 Got it entirely wrong.
00:04:01.960 So it's not just, hey, it's incomplete.
00:04:05.320 They have the truth, but just incomplete truth.
00:04:07.920 No.
00:04:09.220 No, we both share the truth of the Old Testament
00:04:11.600 and then theirs has been thoroughly perverted
00:04:14.480 and twisted
00:04:15.980 and dismantled and ours has been fleshed out the truth that was always there about christ
00:04:23.800 all the types all the shadows pointing towards the messiah but now clearly revealed in the writing
00:04:30.920 of the new testament by the apostles commissioned by christ himself that's the difference and so
00:04:37.440 what we see in judaism still to this day is not just diverse teachings all the the requirements
00:04:44.100 of the ceremonial laws, right?
00:04:46.640 That if you're on an elevator and it's the Sabbath
00:04:49.660 and you're in Israel, right?
00:04:51.980 That's not gonna work because it lights,
00:04:54.080 you push that button and it's gonna light
00:04:55.720 a small little spark and that's lighting a fire
00:04:58.840 and that's working on the Sabbath, right?
00:05:00.980 And so what happens on the Sabbath on Saturday
00:05:03.640 if you're in Israel, the elevators stop on every floor
00:05:06.260 and it's automatically programmed
00:05:08.340 so that nobody has to break the Sabbath
00:05:10.080 by pushing that button, right?
00:05:12.040 So you've got the diverse teachings
00:05:13.680 right and that's the same way for the record that the pharisees and sadducees were starting to
00:05:19.200 misinterpret the sabbath even at the time of christ 2 000 years ago right that some of his
00:05:24.240 disciples they were plucking heads of grain as they were walking with jesus and eating the grain
00:05:30.000 and the pharisees complain and say your disciples are doing what is not lawful on the sabbath
00:05:36.280 now do you know why that's not lawful because i mean you could take something off of a plate
00:05:40.260 and do the physical motion with your hand of taking food
00:05:43.140 and putting it in your mouth on the Sabbath.
00:05:45.600 But the reason why plucking a head of grain
00:05:47.420 was not permitted on the Sabbath
00:05:48.660 is because that constituted harvesting.
00:05:51.920 You're harvesting.
00:05:53.020 Did you know that on the Sabbath,
00:05:55.200 at the time of Jesus,
00:05:56.420 they had determined that you could pick up a chair
00:05:59.400 in your home and you could walk with it a certain distance,
00:06:03.580 right?
00:06:03.780 So the man who Jesus healed,
00:06:05.300 he says, take up your mat and go home.
00:06:07.100 Well, he went too far, right?
00:06:08.340 So that was breaking the Sabbath.
00:06:09.300 he was carrying his mat too far but you could on the sabbath according to the pharisees and scribes
00:06:13.640 and religious rulers you you could pick up a chair in your house and go a short distance and move it
00:06:18.220 but you couldn't drag the chair why could you not drag it that that's literally less energy being
00:06:24.240 exerted so it actually would be less work seems counterintuitive but the reason why you couldn't
00:06:29.440 drag it is because if you dragged a chair on the ground with dirt floors it would pierce the
00:06:35.820 surface of the ground and that would be plowing right so you can't harvest and you can't plow
00:06:42.780 now jesus comes and says hey forget the sabbath no that's where the evangelicals are wrong
00:06:50.000 98 of them but no he doesn't say forget the sabbath he says i'm lord of the sabbath
00:06:57.020 i'm lord of the sabbath which means i get to decide how the sabbath works you don't tell me
00:07:03.440 how me and my disciples should observe the Sabbath,
00:07:06.020 I'll tell you.
00:07:07.380 I'm the Lord of the Sabbath.
00:07:08.900 And the Sabbath, he goes on to say,
00:07:11.200 man was not made for the Sabbath,
00:07:13.060 but the Sabbath was made for man.
00:07:15.660 In other words, Jesus is saying,
00:07:16.780 it's not as though God created the Sabbath on the sixth day
00:07:21.560 and then man on the seventh and said,
00:07:23.940 I made this holy day on the sixth day
00:07:26.360 and now I've got to create image-bearing creatures
00:07:28.720 because somebody's got to observe it.
00:07:30.420 I made this special day.
00:07:31.760 The day is what really counts. 1.00
00:07:33.000 and now i need to make you know just little little peons to you know to pay credence proper 0.94
00:07:38.760 credence to my special day no no god created man on the sixth day and he created the sabbath
00:07:45.640 for man on the seventh the sabbath is not a day of rest because god was weary that's blasphemy
00:07:54.340 that's heresy he is the lord he does not grow weary nor does he grow tired god does not rest
00:08:03.720 on the seventh day and blessed to make it holy because he just worked so hard on the first six
00:08:09.020 days that he was out of breath that's not what takes place god rest as it were we should understand
00:08:16.780 that analogically but god rest as it were on the seventh day to set a pattern and an example for
00:08:25.040 his finite god who is infinite needs no rest but he sets an example for his finite creatures so
00:08:31.140 that we might imitate his example and find the rest that he doesn't need but we do the sabbath
00:08:37.260 is actually a gracious gift of god to man and jesus is reminding the religious rulers of his day
00:08:44.040 who already they weren't just they weren't just weighing the people down with diverse doctrines
00:08:49.520 meaning a bunch of doctrines but that actually were technically true within the ceremonial law
00:08:55.060 category of the old covenant no they were they were wearing people down with strange doctrines
00:09:01.340 aka certain interpretations of the ceremonial law that really did come from god but them
00:09:07.220 twisting it and tweaking it to where they could uphold it but everybody else couldn't can i be
00:09:13.260 frank with you for just a second right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially
00:09:18.040 supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you
00:09:23.900 enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't
00:09:30.820 afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation
00:09:37.780 and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
00:09:46.540 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the
00:09:52.560 definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are
00:09:59.540 struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially
00:10:05.840 this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking
00:10:13.020 you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review
00:10:20.020 on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system
00:10:27.060 works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a
00:10:34.500 five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous
00:10:41.080 theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:10:47.680 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
