| Apr 17 at 9:33 | comment | added | Gina | RaySolva, proper hermeneutics requires that we identify the speaker, & who is being spoken to. The problem Jesus brought to light was with the scribes & Pharisees. Christians can take a lesson from that problem as an example of what not to do, but the context applied to the wicked Jews. Not everything applies to us. Or, do we all have to sell all of our goods & follow Christ as He told the rich young man (Matt. 19:21)? There are specific instructions & universal or general instructions. I did point out that Christians are still required to keep the 5th commandment. | |
| Apr 16 at 16:45 | comment | added | RaySolva | @Gina, ‘The Christian perspective is not in view here as Jesus was speaking to scribes and Pharisees.’ - that is not true, because - though that-time Jesus had spoken to Pharisees indeed, - His Scripture speaks to us now. Therefore your addition just rejects my second question as invalid, while it indeed could be addressed since there is a temple in Christian perspective too. Thus my request stays open. | |

added answer for 2nd part of question
|
| Apr 9 at 15:21 | comment | added | RaySolva | @Gina thank you, I think I got the main sense. Thought it was not that straight simple. You've covered the first part of my question. Maybe someone could put that in broader Christian perspective later. | |
| Apr 9 at 4:42 | comment | added | Gina | Agreed, Dan. But the vow was used to dodge their obligation to their parents. | |
| Apr 9 at 4:15 | comment | added | Dan Fefferman | Thanks for this good answer. I would only add that when we speak of "the Pharisees" here we should not think that this was necessarily their general practice to care for the temple at the expense of honoring their parents. Also the concept of korban in Judaism is much broader than what Jesus is objected to. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/sacrifices-and-offerings-karbanot | |
