Modern-day Equivalents • Lesson 2 – Defining Sin TRANSGRESS (parabaino) • The Jews “neglected” the commands of God re: parents to instead adhere to their own traditions Mt 15:2-3 • To treat God’s word in such a way is to “invalidate” it Mt 15:6 – sprinkling, pouring in place of immersion – baptism not being essential
