The Significance of Oral Teachings

Questions about whether Jesus’ commands in the Gospels were for the Jews only or for the present-day body of Christ, whether God chose to be illiterate when he came to earth, and whether we should only pray for the specific items mentioned in the Lord’s Prayer.  

• Were Jesus’ commands in the Gospels only to be followed by the Jews back then and not the present-day body of Christ?
• Why do you think God chose to be illiterate when he came to earth?
• When Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer, did he mean we should only pray that way and not ask for any other specific items?
