ON Scripture: David Lewicki on Acts 10:44-48: Holy Calamity

When Peter declared, “God shows no partiality,” he opened the possibility that anyone—everyone—is welcome in the family of faith.

Dr. Greg Carey: Jesus and the Torah

Dr. Greg Carey (UCC)

What about healing on the Sabbath--didn't Jesus transgress the Law then? Didn't Jesus touch lepers and bleeding women? What about eating with unwashed hands? Do not all these examples show that Jesus occasionally but intentionally violated the Torah? In a word, no.
