My paper topic is focusing on Jesus' support of the torah in Mark chapter seven verses one through twenty-three. My research should show that Jesus upholds the torah and rejects the oral law of the pharisees. Jesus also asserts himself as the diffinitive interpreter concerning hallakah (practical) torah law. Jesus reveals that touching unclean objects or eating unclean objects does not make one unclean, rather, it is one's actions that come from a wicked mind that make one unclean before God.
I do admit, however, that there are some things I need to iron out concerning torah interpretation in Lev 11 and others but I believe study of the Hebrew and context might help me coincide Jesus' teachings with the law.
