Woodruff Professor of Law, McDonald Distinguished Professor of Religion, and Faculty Director of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. A specialist in Legal History, Human Rights, Religious Freedom, Marriage and Family Law, and Law and Religion, he has published more than 300 articles, 19 journal symposia, and 45 books.

Scripture Notes - https://www.scripturenotes.com I recently published an episode called, "Come Follow Me Tree of Pride" about a painting of the Tree of Life with rainbow colors. It was up for less than 24 hours. I pulled it down. I explain why in this episode. I comment on the rainbow and how it is becoming a strong symbol in our culture and its use at BYU and Deseret Book. I also "react" to several comments that were on that video and run the audience through a visual experiment with AI-generated images. Symbols have meaning. When you combine two symbols of different meanings, what happens?

Are all sins equal to God? Sin is sin, right, it's all the same? Does it even matter? 

What did the Messiah mean by "weightier matters"? What do we do when obeying one law of God appears to force us to break another? How do we determine which laws matter more to YHWH? 

In “Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Parents” Elder Uchtdorf reminds us that - as the title suggests - Jesus Christ is our strength! Here are some questions to consider as you study: How can Christ be the strength in your relationships? (Not just with kids, but also spouses, siblings, parents, friends, etc.) How have you seen "small and simple things" build your relationships?

Yeshua said that some of the Father's instructions carry more weight than others. Not all Torah instructions are equal. Which ones are weightier? Can we ignore the light ones? How does Yeshua's ranking of the weightier instructions compare to your ranking? Yep; now is a good time for that RedPill.

(Matthew 23:1-4, 23-28, 37-39 & 1 Samuel 18:1-3) Jesus wrecks the religious leaders of his day, calling them hypocrites and snakes. Why was Jesus so strongly opposed to them? It turns out its all about how you read the scriptures. (What is the Bible? 1/3)

How much time and energy have been wasted, by various Messianic people, by doing Torah study—with little or no emphasis on the significant ethical and moral matters that face us today?

What are the weightier matters, in the Bible? How are they tied into the current state of Violence in  the World. Ever Wonder?

 In part 3 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we take a closer look at the topics of divorce and remarriage. What exactly is divorce, when is it permitted, and are people who have been divorced allowed to marry again?

Bible Study & Devotional

By Mark Welch in Cincinnati East, OH - January 22, 2022 - Why does Christ single out mercy, judgment, and faith as the "weightier matters of the law"? How do each of these relate to the law of God? Why was Christ so incensed with the scribes and Pharisees for neglecting these matters? Are you focused upon the weightier matters of law?

We can't jettison the most important things as concerning the faith. As long as the faith is concerned there are things that are of more importance. It doesn't mean others are discarded. It implies we pay attention to the more important things, giving priority to them without neglecting the rest. Doing the rest and neglecting the more important things is hypocrisy. This what what Jesus addressed with the scribes. We learn from it.

Message from Shai Linne on June 27, 2021

''Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! (Matthew 23:23-24)'' In American Christianity, especially the mainstream denominations, there is a Pharisaic neglect of the weightier matters of Christian doctrine. The pastors have brought about a reduction of the Gospel message to become only "Jesus loves everyone." Therefore, since Jesus loves everyone, no one will be condemned to Hell. No divisions should be allowed to be had in Christianity. Everyone should be able to belong to one Church. God's love is a very weighty matter, but it has become so watered-down by scholars, teachers and pastors trying to make it the primary thing of the Christian faith. God's love caused Him to create the world for our sake, as the Shepherd of Hermas tells us (Commandment XII 4:2). His love gave us the Torah through Moses. His love sent Jesus into the world to die for us. And it is this manifestation of His love that is the weightiest matter in the Christian faith. In God's justice, He placed all of your sins upon Jesus as He died on the cross. Jesus suffered Hell's torments that were destined for you because of your sins. In God's mercy, He counted Jesus' suffering as sufficient for the reconciliation of the entire world. Everyone who believes in Jesus' death and resurrection will be saved. In God's faithfulness, He promises to lead and to hear all the faithful as they take up the weightier matters. Blindly guided by our sinful human emotions, the basis for most of our hurt between denominations, leaves us swallowing the camel while we try to strain out the gnat. Let us come together, as members of "the one holy catholic and apostolic Church," and truly talk about the weightier matters. Not blindly guided by our emotions. Standing upon the just, merciful and faithful Word of God as the basis for our unity in Christ. Amen.

Pastor Philip ends the DNA series with his teachings on tithing and the importance of the multiethnic church. Listen as he speaks with an open heart on the weightier matters of pursuing justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
