leads the man
to belief, then says «cease from
sinning»; — He heals many others and says «go and
sin no more»
to but a few; — He shares money with the poor but establishes no long - term aid; — He touches lepers; He converses with seeking Pharisees; He debates with other Pharisees; He lives with Samaritan outcasts for two days; — He acknowledges the five «marriages» of the Samaritan woman
as «marriages»... and then remarks about her current co-habitation... but then moves
to higher priorities; — He seems so very focused on internal holiness and not on external holiness; — He violates the Sabbath; He says He is Lord of the Sabbath; He even says that the Sabbath was created
to assist man, rather than man created
to serve the Sabbath... thus turning the entire concept of the Law into one of assistance rather than being chained
to obedience; — He insists on impartiality in the way we bless others, even if we call them «evil» or «good».
