EDITORIAL But they followed what was passed on to them by oral tradition and pieces of paper. When a matter is not expressly stated in Scriptures, then we have to listen to the voice of Jesus as revealed through the Holy Spirit. It is all about what would Jesus say and do! Listen To Jesus Only This Good Friday, let us commit to listening to the voice of Jesus only, because he is the head of the Church. His is the only voice that makes a difference.To categorise Jesus as Good Friday, when we pause and reflect on the significance of the death of Jesus the just a great teacher is not only morally reprehensible, it is logically ridiculous. If Jesus’ Christ, for our lives. Some do not dispute that Jesus' death was a historic fact. However, teachings were true, he cannot merely be a great teacher – he must be more than that! In it means nothing to them personally or communally. Additionally, even Christians do Jesus’ words about Heaven, he talks of a place he has come from and how he is going to not make a complete surrender to Jesus only.At the transfiguration of Jesus, Peter wanted bring access to Heaven through his death and resurrection. So if that is true, Jesus is a to build booths for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Jesus did not take up the offer. And instead, great teacher, but also MUST be God himself come down from Heaven to bring us to for the second time in Matthew, a voice from heaven states, "This is my Son, whom I God – after all he claimed it for himself.If Jesus is no more than a human teacher, then in love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!" (17: 5). That God the Father encourages the focus of his teaching, he is lying. His words are powerless and his teaching the audience to listen to His only Son implies that His Son ought to be the authoritative meaningless. Throughout John’s gospel, Jesus is making outrageous claims about himself. voice in the Church.This verse answers the question of whose voice should be the final Should we accept these teachings? If Jesus is no more than a teacher, then he is lying. If authority in matters of faith and practice. Is it Moses who represents the Law or is it Jesus is lying, he is actively trying to mislead people. If he is misleading people, then Elijah who represents the Prophets or should it be Jesus? Divisions in the church are not please don’t try to give more heed to those detestable lies by telling me to listen to him. new because in the early Church some were claiming allegiance to Apollos, Paul and So here’s the choice – take Jesus’ teachings to be true…In which case Jesus is a great Jesus.When Pope Benedict resigned, he encouraged the Christians as he said, "And now, teacher, but also God himself, and the provider of access to Heaven. Or, deny Jesus’ let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, divinity and so you must disregard him as a freak and his words as the most depraved and implore His holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her hoax of history. But don’t delude yourself or patronise me, or Jesus himself, by claiming maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff". However, Jesus is the only Son. there is any middle ground.Well the first thing that struck people about Jesus’ teaching Moses, Mahatma Gandhi, Paul Bogle, Mary, the mother of Jesus, are not on the same was his authority; “They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who level with Jesus. Jesus is not just the best among many, but he is unique.We are encouraged had authority, not as the scribes,”(Mark 1:22). Jesus obviously had authority over his to listen to Jesus because He is the Light of Scripture. The Old Testament (Law and subject; but isn’t this inevitable, after all, as John the Baptist says, “He who comes from Prophets) needs to be read through the lens of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Jesus Heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard.” Jesus can happily defines and outlines God very well. Persons have witnessed manifestations of God, as teach people about Heaven because he’s come from there. And Jesus can readily teach when God appeared to Moses, Joshua and the prophets, but no one has perceived the people about how they can get to Heaven, because he’s actually the one who makes it essence of God. The revelation of Jesus is above that of any previous dispensation. Jesus possible. “In my Father’s house there are many rooms…I am the way and the truth and had an intimate knowledge of God which neither Moses nor any of the ancient prophets the life, no-one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:2,6); “I am the had possessed. This gave him the authority to speak that to which we ought to listen.Take resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).Jesus talked in parables to his disciples, and for example in Mark 7:19, "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that frequently explains his stories to those disciples. They can picture what he wants them enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn't go into their heart, but to see and even though they may not understand immediately, we can see that Jesus’ into their stomach, and then out of the body". (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods message becomes clear to them.So it’s clear that Jesus was a great teacher as he knew clean). Jesus declaring all foods clean, means that the entire food legislation of the Old what he was talking about. He was talking about himself, where he was from and what he Testament ceased to be normative for the Church. Jesus gave commands new was on earth to do.If you listen to many people in society, you would think that Jesus’ interpretation, new meaning and deeper understanding. Matt 5:43-44, states, "You have message is summed up in the phrase “love one another”. Yes, Jesus did say that, but to heard that it has been said, you shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy. But I assume that was his message rather misses the point. Let me give you an example. If I say to you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, were to take a guide to the law, and open it to read a random phrase, I might read “if you and pray for them which spitefully use you and persecute you."Jesus is the new Law. have food poisoning, visit your GP”. I don’t doubt the wisdom and validity of this Jesus is the true prophet of God. Jesus' new community, the early Church, had no canon. statement, but if I disregard the rest of the book, I miss the point of the law. Jesus’ Numbers 5 CONTD. Numbers 5 as a memorial[e] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman The Purity of the Camp drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, 5 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes anyone who has a defiling skin disease[a] or a discharge of any kind, or who is bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and ceremonially unclean because of a dead body. 3 Send away male and female alike; send she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.” 4 clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.29 “‘This, then, is the The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp.
