Should we follow Jewish tradition or what the word of God says ?

Answer 1

We are not suppose to live by traditions and rituals. However, the Jewish ways fit perfect with the New Testament.

For example: The Wedding Feast

In Jewish tradition the groom's father will add an addition to the house upon the engagement of his son to his future daugther in law. It will take a year for the addition to be complete. Upon completion, the father will tell his son to go receive his bride. The son goes out and blows the trump (horn) giving the signal to his future bride the wedding can take place. This goes hand in hand with how our Bridegroom will call up to Him in the clouds His bride, (rapture). When God has finished the addition to His house (mansion) He will tell His Son: Son, it is now time to go receive your bride.

There's more that goes hand in hand with the Jewish and Christians. Start studying the Bible like we are told to do, you will be surprised how the Old Testament and New Testament come together.

Answer 2

Good Jews live by the Word of G-d. Most often, the traditions are in keeping with the Word and there is no need to "choose" between the two. Therefore, you should follow traditions because they reflected the Word of G-d, not just because they are "traditions."

I hope this helps clear up your obvious confusion on this issue.

Answer 3

Wow, tricky question lol.

Okay, if you are Jewish, then hopefully you are following both Jewish tradition and God's word, mainly because the tradition is supposed to be based upon the word lol

If you are not Jewish, then umm, I'd say follow your own path to God, whatever form that is

Answer 4

Well, considering the Bible is mostly made of Jewish "tradition" and laws, perhaps it is already the "word of god". Be careful what you try to ask, god has already promised a way to heaven through covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. No negate these covenants means to call got a liar (although jesus decided he was the only way to heaven, which was to take away the covenant from Abraham and so make god a liar) You decide.

Answer 5

Well Jewish tradition does follow the word of G-d...find me one instance where it doesn't...

Answer 6

The Word of God Almighty.

Answer 7

The Jewish laws and traditions are in the Bible. However Jesus was the ultimate fulfillment of all these traditions.
Matthew 5
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
There is also a difference in the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Jesus showed us the difference when he contradicted the pharisees and scribes throughout the gospels.
go to www.biblegateway.com and search the word law in the new testament.
Jesus often reinforced the law (Matthew 22:38)
In fact Jesus gave us two commandments to follow that would ensure the rest
Matthew 22
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
As for Jesus contradictin God's covenant with Abraham
Romans 4:13
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Your question is actually answered best in Romans 3
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Answer 8

I believe you are a bit confused or you haven't identified you're God as yet. The Christian God is the Hebrew God. Jesus, according to Christian Teachers is an aspect of the Jewish God as well as a Circumcised Jew who became a Rebe.

However, amongst the Christians there are those that state that Jesus' words and laws override the words and laws of the Hebrew God.

If you are confused.....so are most Christians.

Answer 9

That depends on how strong your jewish faith is. Jesus Christ fulfills all of the prophesies of the Old Testiment.(Torah) whether you believe this or not is in your heart. The Jewish faith worships the same God as the Christian faith. The only difference is.. that when God provided the ultimate sacrifice.. (The answer to all the prophesies the Jews base their faith on) the Jews turned their back on him. They Crucified him (Jesus) and released a rapist... (in accordance with scripture) he rose within three days ( again in accordance with scripture) and is seated on the right hand of the father.(and is now preparing a place for all who believe in him) Read John 3 16.

Answer 10

We are to follow what the Word of God says. Jesus said we are no longer under the law, but under God's grace. When Jesus died on the cross He changed the way the laws are. Except for the 10 commandments.
