The teachings in the Bible are often confused just as they were in the Jewish religious leaders understanding when Jesus walked the earth.

Jesus instructed His followers sometimes in ways that seems directly contradictory to the teachings held sacred in that time. Jesus exposed 'doctrines of men' and boldly stated the truth in their place.
