Study to Show Yourself Approved Session 6
Did you know the Torah (1st five books of the Bible) has at least two very important elements?

The first is called the Halachah or the way one is to walk in the commandments. This aspect of the Torah covers the legal rulings on the commandments and is described as a rule that states the correct practice of the law rather than the actual law itself. Yeshua always went beyond the traditional understanding of a commandment by adding his own unique twist.
The second aspect is called the Aggadah, which means to tell or give an account. This describes a variety of legends, myths and anecdotes in a hidden or allegorical way. For example, Yeshua used parables extensively to point to a deeper meaning based on the many rabbinical stories.

Diana,
Good morning! Wow, great session, and one thought I had was that we should all remember that, before Yeshua was putting twists on the well known parables, he had already established Himself as a scholar…one to be respected in reference to His knowledge and handling of Scripture. First things first, so to speak. I understand the hesitation to use any form of “New Testament” reference, I’ve heard that body of writings referred to as “Apostolic Scriptures” too.
Thanks, really making use of this series!
Thanks Joy – glad you are enjoying the series. The workbook should be up on the website this week.
