Follow the Teachings of Jesus

Encouraging Christians to Follow the Teachings of Jesus

Encouraging Christians to follow the teachings of Jesus.

For nearly 2000 years, Christians have been adding human traditions, doctrines, rituals, and rules to Jesus’ teachings.

 

Jesus said: “You are abandoning the commands of God, and you are holding on to the traditions of men.” (Mark 7:8.  See also Matthew 15:8-9.)

 

The articles on this site encourage Christians to put human traditions to one side and follow the teachings of Jesus.
