The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus.

Question 28. What is the punishment of sin in this life?

  Question 28. What is the punishment of sin in this life? Answer. The punishment of sin in this life is inwardly, hardening of the heart, corrupted senses, strong temptations, stubbornness of the mind, fear and shame of conscience, lust, and the like; and outwardly, the curse of God upon all things for our sakes, and all other evils that come to our bodies, names, positions, relations, and occupations, and so forth, which lead to death.   In this world, the punishment for sin is the spirit being imprisoned in the flesh. Original sin is when evil angels want to be like God in the kingdom of God, so they oppose God and die with their spirits imprisoned in human flesh. This is hell. The world is like a prison, and life is like a wanderer. All people who do not know God are suffering spiritually. That is why their hearts are broken.
