Conflict and Argument

Jesus and the paralysed man:

the Law: collection of laws sent by God and collected in the Torah

Sinners: go against the Jewish laws and don't follow them.

Conflict?

* Jewish leaders- God can only forgive sins

*They believed that Jesus claimed to be God\

*Wanted to gather evidence for Jesus' arrest

Christians today?

-Catholics- Sacrament of Reconciliation- which we receive from Priests

-Priests can forgive sins in the name of God

-Jesus is in their spirit

-Priests are successors of disciples

KW:

Pharisees: A Jewish relgiious group who keeps their faith alive

Sabbath: On the 7th day of the week, Jews have a day of rest

Conflict?
