Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

God gave the Children of Israel many laws which seem impossible to keep. He did not do this so He could trip us up and blame us for doing things wrong.

God gave us laws to show us we could not keep all of the laws even if we wanted to – and we should want to.

But alongside that, man wrote many more laws and rules which are not right in God’s eyes, but to which He expects other people to stick with even though they cannot or will not.

Keep it simple and obey God!
