Episode notes
Jesus and the Old Covenant
- Jesus largely operated under the Old Testament law during his ministry.
- This law was meant for the Jews until the New Covenant's arrival.
Universality of Moral Law
- While some Old Testament commands are specific to Jews, moral principles apply universally.
- Gentiles were never bound by these specific laws unless living within the Jewish community.
Jesus' Literacy
- Jesus' lack of personal writing doesn't imply illiteracy, as evidenced by him reading scripture.
- The Gospels' validity rests on accurate recording, not Jesus' authorship.
