- Affected Teachings
- Here the Lord Jesus is bringing to light one of the additions which the
religious leaders had added to the law of God. The Lord Jesus was showing
the people what type of things the leaders had added to the law of God which
caused it to twist the law. The Pharisees had added many such things to the
law of God and when one adds things to the law of God it blurs the
distinctions between the law of God and the additions of man. The Lord Jesus
was chiding the leaders and trying to show the people that adding to the
word of God causes only confusion and never leads to salvation. The more
things the leaders added to the law the harder it was to keep the law. God
gave 618 commandments in the law but that was greatly enlarged by the time
the Lord Jesus came on the scene. It is like the false religions of today
that place many burdens upon their followers. The modern versions leave off
this very important portion about the additions to the law of God. He was
trying to show that the washing of cups and pots were nothing but a man made
law and had nothing whatsoever to do with the law of God. Once again the
King James brings out the truth and does not leave anything to speculation.
