YESUS, TAURAT DAN BUDAYA

Abstract

Culture and tradition is social custom which has been inherent in life through years and hard to be altered. Likewise Jews’ custom as Jesus was existed among them. Jews people stuck the Law rigidly, and otherwise, Law became their own culture and characteristic. The teaching of Jesus had much resistance from the Pharisees and scribes, who considered they were expert of practicing the Law. However, what Jesus did actually was to establish true understanding of the Law. He was not destroying the Law, but to fulfill. Neither He did not refuse any existing tradition, but rather reform it with new understandingbasically.
