Although entire religious and secular worlds have equally embraced the Christmas holiday, what about those who desire to cling to the Creators Ways, above all else? Do we follow the crowd and continue on with the traditions of man-made celebrations (like Christmas and Easter) in order to fit in?

Do we begin to follow traditions of Judaism instead? If not, what then? Is there something else? Yes! Yahweh’s Holy Days that He gave as a wonderful gift to men so many years ago.

Father's appointed, set apart times are when His set apart People are to forever remember all that He's done, is doing now and will do in a coming day. Do you know this? Let's find out!

We've discussed a lot in this series, haven't we? If Messiah did not come to override and replace His Father's perfect Law, in order to "set men free" then why did He come?

Did He come to earth in order to remove "a burdensome yoke" of His Father or to tear down the religious laws of the non-believing leaders of His day that had weighed down the people?

Let's wrap things up and find out!

When we read the Greek wording for "break" in today's text, we find that Messiah "loosened" the Sabbath. In this episode we will explore the idea that what Messiah "loosened" was the talmudic laws and traditions of men that had been heavy burdens placed upon men, not His Father's Sabbath laws which were always a wonderful gift to men.

The only Sabbath laws that He superseded and "broke" were those of the non-believing leaders. He was returning the Sabbath to what It was intended - for good! Sabbath was, and is today, the *perfect* time to heal a crippled man and set Him free!

Did you know that Messiah never "broke" the Sabbath of His Father? If He did, wouldn't He be a transgressor of the Fourth Commandment? Let's look into the Word and find out!

Here we'll discuss the fact that the non-believing Pharisees were not guilty of upholding the Torah commands of Yahweh and thereby refuting the works of Messiah, but rather they had exalted their own talmudic traditions over Yahweh's Ways and had set up traditions that had become burdensome.

An honest study quickly reveals that the Scriptures teach us that the Creator's Laws are good. We are not to ADD TO (non-believing Pharisees) nor TAKE AWAY FROM (Christians) His commands. Most of us must repent from living on our side of this transgression.

Can you consider a hard suggestion as we explore John chapter 5 together? Let's find out!

While popular teaching tells us that the non-believing religious leaders of Messiah's day "missed" Him because they clung too tightly to the Old Covenant, what does the Word say was the reason?

When we read the Gospels and see the common phrase, "it was 'unlawful' for them to do that on the Sabbath" we must be responsible students of the Word and ask, "according to what 'law'?"

Most importantly, what did Messiah Himself say was the reason that they could not receive Him? Do you know? Let's find out!

The new series gets underway examining the scene in John 5. What do we do with verses that were not in the original text and tend to influence our understanding? What was *really* happening at this Pool of Bethesda?

Sometimes it's best to just quietly deny what we're told to do.
