05: Discipling the Sick – Hit the Mark — 6 Comments

    • Sothinie, I like the explanation given by Ellen White. "The One who had spoken through Isaiah was now speaking to His people face to face. He was seeking to weed out the traditions and the false doctrines which had become mingled with the pure principles of God’s Word. The scribes and Pharisees had accused Him and His disciples of transgression because they did not observe the traditions of the elders. Christ now showed them that it is not that which enters into the mouth that defiles the soul, but that which proceeds from the heart, and that by exalting the traditions of men above the law, they were polluting their own souls and the souls of others. Calling the multitude, He said, “Hear, and understand; not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” https://egwwritings.org/?ref=en_ST.January.3.1900.par.6
      This exchange was not about diet regulations; it was about the heart.
      I hope that helped.

  1. Curtis, I think the explanation is now more concise taken Jesus' response to their(scribe&Pharisees) proclamation of keeping the tradition of men. They lay aside God's law.
    This is "not a diet regulation" as it's mostly claimed in the world today.
    What a misunderstanding thats made in just "quoting that single verse to satisfy the carnal mind" when in truth the top passage shows that defilement is from within,the heart.

    Helpful, Thanks!
