Re'eh: New Testament Portion (Mark 9:40-50, 1 John 4:1-6)

8/26/2019

In this episode Christopher covers Mark 9:40-50 and discusses a character in the Mishna that is mentioned that many see as being there opposite of what Yeshua says in Mark 9:40, and seems to also be talking about Yeshua negatively, but is it really? Christopher also discusses the concept from the passages about cutting off limbs to escape Gehenna, is there a rabbinic parallel to this? Listen in and find out. Christopher wraps it up with the reading from 1 John and asks "who is it talking of?", and does it mean we should not follow rabbinic judaism? Or is there something else going on here that is easy to take out of context?
