I mean (a) insofar that the First Commandment is not a tradition. In general, yes, Jesus irritated the Jews also in great part by not following their traditions, but on the point of being the Christ who sits at the right hand of God, — that is a blasphemy unless you happen to believe that Christ is God. Caiaphas et al. judged Jesus according to their law and lacked the Christian faith. They applied the Law as they understood it.

You still have not yet provided the Scriptural reference for your claim that claiming to be the Messiah violated the Law so that you accuse Jesus of blasphemy.

Huh? I don't understand your answer. It was not a complex question. You seem to have answered choice c which is really choice b. But to make sure....You said that Jesus broke the law, and I asked:

Before I answer your question, first, please answer mine: “Do you mean the written word of God, or do you mean Jewish “tradition” handed down to them by their fathers?”

What do YOU, annalex, mean when you say Jewish law? Do you mean Torah, the Word of God, or the traditions of the Jews?

You answer is either:
a) the Word of God (the OT)
b) the traditions that the Jews made, which added to the Word
c) both. Oh, wait, that is really choice b.

Two options. which do you say is Jewish Law. We can’t have a conversation until we know what you are talking about. Simple reply to this post. Either a or b.

Your post did not answer the question, but seemed to be a move in dodge ball. Will you answer the question? Not modifiers. You either believe or meant that Jewish law IS the word of God, or that it is tradition and the Word. Which one? Simple question. It should be a simple answer. If it isn't, then you don't know the answer or are avoiding the questions.
