Just noticed the blog article about the Lexham book that has become a finalist for a Christian Book Award. I read the excerpt and was floored by this statement.

Say what? Let's look at Lk. 11:42. Do you see Yeishuua` saying anything about the Pharisees following the letter of the law? You know why not? BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T!!! If they had been following Tohraah, He wouldn't have had any problem with their actions, period. Plain and simple, this a grotesque mischaracterization of what Yeishuua` was indicating in this confrontation. You know why? BECAUSE "justice and the love of God" ARE PART OF TOHRAAH! Yeishuua` was castigating and condemning the Pharisees for NOT keeping the law...not "for" following the law. This abominable false dichotomy exemplifies the kind of defiled and putrid bath beads Christianity has been leisurely soaking in for ages. It is a grotesque lie with dire consequences.
Am I overexaggerating? Am I wrong? Well, one only need to at the parallel scripture in Mt. 23:23 to see that this characterization of Lk. 11:42 is utterly miscast. See it? Yeishuua` explicitly says that justice and mercy ARE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW!! This award candidate's description is unspeakable malarkey. However, given the appetite that exists for this kind of distortion, I would say the book has an excellent chance of winning.
Take just a moment to contemplate the multiple dozens of people who have encountered this and were not just fully content to let it pass, but considered this laudable and worthy of commendation!
What next, Lexham? Going to start peddling square circles?
