And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is
salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also,
according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto
you;

16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of

these things; wherein are some things hard to be
understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction.

saying,

13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as

removed their heart far from me, and their
fear toward me is taught by the precept
of men:
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship

Elohim in the spirit, and rejoice in Messiah

counted loss for Messiah.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for
the excellency of the knowledge of Messiah
Yahshua my Lord: for whom I have suffered the
loss of all things, and do count them but dung,

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it,

13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in

1 ¶ Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of

{defiled: or, common}
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their
hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash,
they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have
received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen
vessels, and of tables.

bread with unwashed hands?

one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,

hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father
which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak.

22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and

do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto
thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.
FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS AND VIEW OF THE PHARISEES

What I would now explain is this, that the Pharisees

have delivered to the people a great many
observances by succession from their
fathers, which are not written in the TORAH OF
MOSES; and for that reason it is that the Sadducees
reject them and say that we are to esteem those
observances to be obligatory which are in the written
word, but are not to observe what are derived from
the tradition of our forefathers… BOOK OF
ANTIQUITIES 13.10.6

Rabbinical decree is worthy of death- B. Talmud
 RAMBAM’S INTRODUCTION TO THE
MISHNAH

“If There are 1,000 Prophets, all of them of the

stature of Elijah and Elisha, giving a certain
interpretation, and 1001 Rabbis giving the
opposite interpretation, you should incline to the
majority and the law is according to the 1001
Rabbis, not according to the 1,000 venerable
prophets, only from the Rabbis who are men of
logic and reason.”
 Babylonian Talmud
Pesachim 115a
...and even on the view that precepts cannot
nullify each other, that applies only to a
Biblical (precept) with a biblical (precept),
or a Rabbinical (precept) with a Rabbinical
(precept), but in the case of a Scriptural and
a Rabbinical (precept), the Rabbinical (one)
comes and nullifies the Scriptural (one).
 Pesitka Rabbati 3

A person must not say, “ I will not keep the commandment of

the elders because they are not

from the Torah.” The Almighty says to such a person, “NO My

Son! Rather all that they

decree upon you, Observe! As it is written, According to the

instruction which they teach you

(Deut. 17:11). EVEN I (YHVH) MUST OBEY THEIR DECREE,

as it is written, You will

decree and HE will fulfill it (Job 22:28)

 DEUTERONOMY 17:8
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment,
between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and
between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy
within thy gates; then shall thou arise, and get thee up unto
the place which YHVH thy Elohim shall choose;

9 and thou shalt come unto the ,PRIEST, the Levites,

and unto the judge that shall be in those days: and thou shalt
inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment.
10 And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence
which they shall show thee from that place which YHVH shall
choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they
shall teach thee:

11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach

thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee,
thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence
which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

 THIS ALSO APPEARS IN THE MIDRASH

When the Almighty revealed Himself at Sinai in order to give the

Torah to Israel, he recited to Moses in due order the Scriptures,
The Mishnah, the Talmud and the Midrash...Even that which a
student asks his Rabbi, did the Almighty tell over to Moses at the
time. After He learned it from the mouth of the Almighty.
(Moses) said: Master of the universe! Let me write it for them.’
(The Almighty) replied: I do not wish to give it to them (entirely)
in writing.. but the Scriptures do I give to them in writing while
the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Midrash I give to them orally’
(Exodus Rabbah 47:1)

 THE DOCTRINE OF THE PHARISAIC SECRET
KNOWLEGDE OF THE ORAL LAW IS GIVING TO THE
RABBIS IN THE MIDRASH:

(Elohim) Said to (Moses), I do not want to give it

to them in writing, because it is known to Me
that the idolaters will rule over them in the
future and will take (scripture) from them and it
will be despised by the idolaters. Therefore I am
giving them Scripture in writing, but the
Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Midrash I give to
them orally, so when the idolaters come and
(Israel) is subjugated by them, (Israel) will still
remain separate from them.
(EXODUS RABBAH 47:1)
 INIQUITY # 2 AUTHORITY OF THE RABBIS

THIS DOCTRINE BELIEVES THAT THE PHARASIAC/RABBINCAL

JUDAISM HAVE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURES.

is right, you must obey them (Sifre Deuteronomy

that prophet must be executed:
(Maimonides,pp 27-28)
 MAIMONIDES ALSO SAYS:

He who prophesies in the name… if he changes anything in

the Oral law, even if the plain meaning of Scripture
supports what he says, for example, if he says that when the
Torah says ‚ you shall cut off her hand; (show no pity)
(Deuteronomy 25:12 that it literally means cutting off the
hand and not a monetary fine as we are taught by the oral
law, and that prophet attributes his statement to prophecy
saying, ‚The Holy-One, Blessed be He, told me that the
commandment that says ‘you shall cut off her hand’ is to be
understood at face value.‛ That prophet shall be executed
through strangulation…‛

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall
go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make
us to hear it, that we may do it?

The Pharisees say that because the Torah is not in

Heaven, that it was giving to Moses at Sinai therefore
He (YHVH) no longer had authority but only the
Rabbis and this is the teaching at the time of Yahshua.
 MARCION THE HERETIC
"A figure of immense significance who is often,
though perhaps mistakenly, counted among the
Gnostics was Marcion, who after breaking with
the Roman Congregation in 144 set up a successful
organization of his own. Teaching that there is
a radical opposition between the Law and the
Gospel, he refused to identify the Elohim of love
revealed in the New Testament with the wrathful
Creator Elohim of the Old Testament. He set forth
these contrasts in his Antitheses, and his
adoption of a reduced New Testament consisting
of the Gospel According to Luke and certain
Pauline epistles, all purged of presumed Jewish
interpolations, had an important bearing on the
Congregation's formation of its own fuller canon."

 PHARISAIC LAW AND CUSTOMS

Halachah/ Halachot(Rabbinic)

A law or laws derived directly from a manipulated

interpretation of Scripture(midrash) or Rabbinic logic
that oftentimes uses a proprietary series of filters from
one or more of the many interpretation rules built on
the seven rules of Hillel.
 MINHAGIM
Customs are traditions enacted as law. This is
built on the axiom “minhag Yisrael torah hi” (a
custom in Israel is Torah). The line is blurred
between Rabbinical halachah and minhag.
 TAKANOT AND GEZEROT

Enactments and decrees of the Rabbis,

invented out of thin air, with no
Scriptural justification. Simply, new
religious laws framed with the authority
of the oral law: an unbashed violation of
D’varim 4:2 and 12:32
 MA’ASIM

The deeds or actions of Rabbis or sages,

justifying how a tradition should be observed-
the practicality of observance. The ma’asim
(works) were derived frim stories, incidents,
and actionsof Rabbis, not Scripture, making
the Ma’asim a ssource for new laws.
