Doctrines of men

[Matt. 13:9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
[There are approximately 42 additional traditions outside the original 613 Laws in the Oral Law. Out of the 613 Laws there are about 177 of them we can still follow today. Sounds like a lot of laws but churches put their people in many more laws than this.]
[10] And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
[Background to 11-20: This is the first century. The phrase – Now you Pharisees indicated the difference between the two groups of the School of Hallel and the School of Shammai. Hallel was the rabbinic authority that Y’Shua quotes from. Hilled and Shammai were the last of the five scholars. Zugot means pairs and refers to the five groups of scholars leading the major schools of the faith from the time of the Maccabeus to the time of Harod. Heads of Sanhedrin and the courts. Hallel died in the year 10 CE just before Y’Shua was born. The eighteen measures were rules instituted by the Shammai relating to priests washing their hands before eating the tithe. In the six century people adopted it towards everyone. The hostility of Y’Shua toward a certain group of the Pharisees is thought to have possibly been the result of some members of the School of Shammai killed members of the loving School of Hallel, over this rule of washing hands. Hallel wash before taking the bread. The word of Y’Shua concerning the outside of the cup is clearly referring to the first century ruling between the two schools of Shammai and Hallel over this issue. Y’Shua, according to Luke 11:37, Mark 7:2 (washing hands up to the elbows), upheld the ruling of the School of Shammai in the matter of the outside of the cup. John is one example of Y’Shua upholding the Oral Traditions that have a good spiritual lesson. Shammai = was a Pharisees group that made traditions that broke the word of G-d. Cleansing the outside of a cup not worrying about the inside (one’s spirit). Shammai was a carpenter, and vice president of the Sanhedrin. They did not want every one to be saved. ]
[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
[12] Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
[13] But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
[They are offended, are they? Heed it not: their corrupt teaching is already doomed: the garden of the Lord upon earth, too long cumbered with their presence, shall yet be purged of them and their accursed system: yea, and whatsoever is not of the planting of My heavenly Father, the great Husbandman (John 15:1), shall share the same fate.]
[14] Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
[17] Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
[Familiar though these sayings have now become, what freedom from bondage to outward things do they proclaim, on the one hand; and on the other, how searching is the truth which they express - that nothing which enters from without can really defile us; and that only the evil that is in the heart, that is allowed to stir there, to rise up in thought and affection, and to flow forth in voluntary action, really defiles a man!]
[18] But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
[19] For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
[For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts - "evil reasoning’s"; referring here more immediately to those corrupt reasoning’s which had stealthily introduced and gradually reared up that hideous fabric of tradition which at length practically nullified the unchangeable principles of the moral law. But the statement is far broader than this; namely that the first shape which the evil that is in the heart takes, when it begins actively to stir, is that of "considerations" or "reasoning’s" on certain suggested actions. Murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies - detractions, whether directed against G-d or man; here the reference seems to be to the latter. Mark 7:22 adds, "covetousness’s" - or desires after more; "wickedness’s" - here meaning, perhaps, malignity’s of various forms; "deceit, lasciviousness" - meaning, excess or enormity of any kind, though by later writers restricted to lewdness; "an evil eye" - meaning, all looks or glances of envy, jealousy, or ill will towards a neighbor; "pride, foolishness" - in the Old Testament sense of "folly"; that is, criminal senselessness, the folly of the heart. How appalling is this black catalogue!]
[20] These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
