Redemption and Unleavened Bread
Introduction
Discerning Scripture with a biblical, non-westernized and non-Christian understanding is daunting task, even for the most sincere believer. Centuries of tradition developed while the Bible was under control of religious institutions. It was not in their best interest to be flexible on their doctrines.
As a result, many of these groups considered their denominational doctrines to be superior to the Scriptures. This often led to the truth being overlooked. This is particularly true when doctrine conflicted with Scripture. However, as information became easier to acquire, the scriptural truth also became easier to find. In fact, individuals seeking scriptural truth began to ask questions concerning traditional doctrine. One question asked was why did doctrines teach that the Law was not applicable for today when Matthew 5:17 clearly states "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." This conflict between Christian doctrine and Scripture helped bring believers into the Hebrew Roots Movement and the Torah Observant Messianic Movement.
