1 For, when Israel was young, I loved him, and from Egypt I called My son.
Rashi:
and from Egypt I called My son: through My prophets to cleave to My Torah. But what did they do?…
2 The more they called to them, the more they went away from them; to the baalim they would slaughter sacrifices, and to the graven images they would burn incense.
Rashi:
The more they called to them, the more they went away from them: As much as the prophets call to teach them the good way, so did they turn their backs to run away from them and they would slaughter sacrifices to the baalim. It is customary for Scripture to speak in this manner. Comp. (above 4:7) “The more they have increased, the more they have sinned against Me” ; (Ex. 1:12) “And the more they afflicted them, the more they increased.”
You forgot verse 2...So, you are stating that Jesus did what is in verse 2?...
There is a great and many mysteries unlocked when you begin to study the Temple and the comings and goings of the temple that you are claiming to be. We claim to be the body of Christ, the Temple, and if we knew ourselves, we would know God. To know the comings and goings of the Temple is to know thyself and who you are to God, and in many cases, one cannot find the truth of the Temple and many prophesies without seeking Jewish thought in Jewish writing. It is just how far you are willing to go in seeking God out.

So who is Rashi? And why is this character authoritative?

God gave Israel their Sabbaths and their feast days to do what pleases him, but the bible does not have the information how these things were carried out and if you go and look into the traditions and rituals, they all point you to great mysteries to unlock when you will find all the idioms and sayings that are said in the temple when the priests are officiating in the Holy days like how the burning of incense plays out and the silence during this time. The Oral Torah was handed down from Generation to generation and Moses had written much of it down but there is still much more handed from generation to generation to then be written down. I don't agree with everything in the Oral Torah, nor does it agree when showing debates between Rabbis and varied thoughts and mentalities, but if you want to know everything Jesus is saying and you really want to know the New Testament, then you have to seek out all the Jewish Idioms, the Torah cycle, the appointed prayers in each Holy days, and how everything in the temple plays out. This is why people struggle so hard with Revelation and Matthew 24 because it is STRICTLY Jewish tradition, Jewish idioms about God's holy days. The day no man knows but the father is Rosh Hashanah, it was not supposed to be named so the enemy would not know judgment day, but everyone already knew that the feast of Trumpets would bring judgment against the nations of the world, it is the hidden day, Yom Hakeseh.

I prefer the Holy Spirit my teacher as Jesus designated .
It is to God the Father I am accountable and my actions examined ,
be they my own invention, or the influence of the Holy Spirit, Jesus provides. Matthew 7;21,22,23,
All other influences are a distraction .
Jesus said , All I do is under the direction of the Father , to do His will.
Matthew 4; you can see ,He was not about to use scriptures to make excuses to feed the flesh, or circumvent His Father's design .
Why do men think they are better then Jesus ?
So your reasoning is basically that of a Roman Catholic that simply tells me that tradition says it and we should believe it?
I don't know what you mean, the Roman Catholic is not in the religion of Jesus, they stopped all Gentiles to converting to Jesus. There is God's ways, and then there is the ways of the church. The church made the ways of God illegal because of their sheer hate for Jews, their hate for Jews were so bad that they made the commandments of God illegal to keep that no Gentile was being grafted under the covenant of Jesus.
Roman Catholic has their own laws that they invented for themselves saying that the pope has all the power in the world to omit, to change or alter the word of God as they see fit. They invented their own worship system and whether you are a Catholic or a Protestant, you follow Catholic law with their own invented worship system you choose to keep, their law is above God's law, that is your claim when you follow wholly Catholic law, you have now thrown the ways of Jesus out the window and created your own worship system, and this is what every Christian does. This was created out of sheer hatred for the Jews, so much hate, that the ways of God were outlawed, and YOU KEEP THEM.
If you were a Gentile wanting to follow Jesus in his feasts and sacrifices, you were persecuted and killed, and so no Gentile would join the covenant of Jesus.
YOU are in the Catholic covenant which has nothing to do with a Jewish Messiah and his law.
YOU follow what is wholly Catholic when they invented their own worship system, and when you keep man's invented worship system, you are opposed to God, and you certainly do not fall under the covenant Jesus brings to Ephraim and Judah.
just like you believe the bible simply because someone else tells you too..what is so weird about that?
Somebody else?
The bible is the word of God, this is no secret, you either believe the truth of it being God's word as we are told in a Gazillion places, or you don't believe it is the word of God.
It sure aint got nothing to do with somebody TOLD someone it was the word of God, IT IS the word of God and this is the first thing we are told.
WHAT do you mean,'' Simply because somebody told you?''
