Teachings By Jesus

Jesus’s Apparent Knowledge
And His Cultural Limitations

Introduction

Even assuming that Jesus is an eternal Being who was born as the literal Son of God, it is important to know about cultural limitations that would have imposed restrictions upon His teaching mission. It is important, too, to spot ways in which Jesus seems to know more than He ought to know, given the times in which He lived. We will note here both extraordinary knowledge that Jesus evidently possesses, and cultural limitations that might restrict our ability to understand what He is telling us, so you will be able to spot and make note of both His possession of such extraordinary knowledge and His impediments or cultural limitations as you read and make use of Jesus’s teachings.
