1 Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;
4 and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"
6 And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'
8 You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."
9 And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!
10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';
11 but you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God) --
12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition which you hand on. And many such things you do."
14 And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15 there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."
16 * [No text]
17 And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,
19 since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
20 And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."

Tradition Vs the Word, Part 3
Tradition Vs the Word, Part 3
Jeff Johnson

We have been studying the Gospel of Mark with Pastor Jeff, we have learned that the religious leaders of Jesus’s day, where consumed with outward cleanliness.  But Christ taught that God is concerned about internal purity. Outward appearances are irrelevant when dealing with eternity. The sad truth is, that this religious mind set is still prevalent in many of America’s churches. This is an important lesson and we invite you to follow along with us in the study titled, “Tradition VS the Word”.

On todays program, Pastor Jeff is continuing in a very important, and relevant subject: Religion or Gods Word? There are many churches through out the world that claim to be Christian. However, when you start to examine their teachings, you will find they are actually far from the Word of God! This is becoming a dangerous trend in America. We invite you to follow along in the study titled, “Tradition VS the Word,” from the Gospel of Mark Chapter 7.

The New Testament writers tell us that the Old Testament laws, and regulations where a shadow of good things to come. Unfortunately, the Jewish people became religious, and fixated on the customs, rather than what the commandments were pointing to.  Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff will teach us that religion will cause you to miss Jesus just like the Jews did. We are in the Gospel of Mark chapter seven with the study titled, “Tradition Vs. the Word”.
