Jesus never said leaven was bad, but identified whos leaven we are to beware of.
The Pharisees, Sadduces, Scribes, and Rabbi's arose from the Babylonian captivity
Where the Talmud and Mishnah were created and formalized. They gained immense power among the Jews since they had the "copies" of the Torah and so were the official interpreters of it using the Talmud and Mishnah as their guide.
I read that somewhere in these writings is said that the Rabbis are qualified to teach God on the Torah! How awful is that! Thinking that God is not all-knowing and does inderstand His own Word!
But we who are in Christ are to be the leaven in the church, increasing its members by sharing our faith and leading unbelievers to Jesus and His Word. We also are used as leaven when we discipline believers by growing and expanding their knowledge and understanding of the Word, thus the need for pastors and teachers in the church as well as
Mature believers mentoring younger believers.
Thus the book of Galations refers to Paul's teaching that his converts, by way of them having not to be circumcised, were to be followed, and no other gospel/teachings of others, was to be followed.
In no way does Galations mention God's Ten Commandments, which were written in stone, signifying that they were never be changed. Have you read Daniel 7:25 "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law."
God, the Most High, is never caught "flat-footed" so to speak. Back in the time of Daniel, He knew that there would be a power that would in the future "think" to change God's Law,l that dealt with time". God's laws can never be changed, only man can think to change His holy Law.
Of God's Ten Commandments what is the only Law that deals with time? It is the Fourth Commandment. In it noting that God states that it Sabbath is His Holy Day! And is the only one that starts with the word "Remember" which Satan has prompted man to try to forget! See Exodus 20:8-11. (And Ex. 16:14-35).
Please see, 2 Timothy 3:16, 17... Thanks, Robert
Bless All Of My Brothers And Sisters In Christ Jesus !! I LOVE YOU !! :)

o oo ooo oo o o o o oo oo o o o o ooooo o oo oo o oo o o o o o
Your blessed with spiritual leaven! God rains it down from heaven!
They never made a choice for Jesus as Savior. Their names are NOT in the Book of Life.
Jesus will oversee the Bema Seat Judgement over His Believers; and Crowns will be given.
THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
To those who love the appearing of Christ, who anxiously wait and look forward to the day when He will return for His saints. This crown is given to those who have lived a good and righteous life for God while living down here on earth. If you are a believer you have been made righteous before God the Father as a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins. This means that the righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to you. It also refers to us living a good& righteous life for God the Father with what time we have left down here. There are Christians who are righteous before God the Father as a result of being saved, called Justification, through the blood of Jesus Christ; but they are not living righteous lives in their actions, words and behaviours, called Sanctification. There are some people that may be saved in God's eyes, but still continue to do evil works that the unsaved would do. We all have our flaws, weaknesses, and certain temptations that we may struggle with. It is not perfection but DIRECTION that God is looking for.God just wants each one of us to choose to do the right thing when faced with certain temptations or choices to do something bad. When it is all said and done, these Christians will probably be receiving some of the greatest rewards that God can hand out once they enter into heaven. It says in the Bible,Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:8To live a righteous life for God will really be worth your while as you will definitely be given this crown by God Himself.
Then the book of Luke, begins when Jesus was born. Matthew=teaching on Joseph's contact by an Angel; and Jesus's Geneology.
A special blessing for you: Malachi 3:16-18
All of the gospels to learn what Jesus is like because we are his followers.
Some of the greatest lessons are on how to spend time in prayer away from distractions. How to praise in song (psalms) like King David did; and to worship our Father.
Ask the Holy Spirit to be your Teacher; to anoint you for reading of the Word.
Nelson Walters on YouTube has some new teachings on this month. Might check that. Me personally I don't study those books.
Too much about Chaldeans for me.
I was not speaking about the yeast of these folks, which is figurative language. I was speaking about yeast in the literal sense.
There is no prohibition of not using yeast in bread other than at Passover, as it reminds the Istaelites of the haste with which they consumed this last meal in Egypt and their fleeing quickly from the land after God spared them from the Angel of death. Yeast has its place in our diet, Burlington
Irony sugar helps to keep it in check,as does probiotics. People can make non-yeast breads easily with various leavening my agents.
But Jesus said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. So, we should wish to know what He meant by that. I think it refers to their insistence on following the Laws of the Talmud and Mishnah that were added on top of the law of Moses. And He was probably speaking of the sels-righteousness of these leaders and their avoidance of touching anything "unclean" or common. So they did not mingle with common folks. They had their own "class"" system.
Perhaps in the pre- flood era, the Garden of Eden was actually on earth and all who lived in that time knew where it was and saw that it was Inaccessible to them. And then, perhaps, the flood destroyed the Garden and afterwards it was not to eat found. The tree of life in Revelations may be the one originally in the Garden or Godcreated it again audit was a created physical tree in the Garden.
God is able to both. Transplant it from the Garden or re-create it.
We just do not really know. We have so little archeological evidence of the pre-flood era. But I do think thatGod does not want us to know a lot about it. And perhaps, as I have read, the tectonics plates may have moved, heaved so violently with the flood that the earths crust was broken up and much of the artifacts were buried beneath these plates as they subducted under and over each other.
ANSWER
A man with leprosy came to Jesus and begged Him, If you are willing, you can make me clean. Jesus was filled with compassion. He reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing, he said. "Be clean!" ( Mark 1:40-41).
He knew that Jesus could heal him, but he asked the same question that most of us ask today, "Will He heal me?"
The greatest hindrance for many seeking healing is the uncertainty, in their mind, if it is God's will for them to be healed. While most know that God heals a few, they dont have a clear understanding of what the Word says, so they doubt, and doubt Destroys their faith. It is very difficult to have faith when the will of God is unknown. The Bible clearly teaches that healing is provided for all, but it also teaches that faith is required. Not faith that God can, but faith that God WILL heal.
PSALM 103:3, Psalm 86:5
Did it say to a few? No, it says to ALL. That he by the grace of God should taste death for every man ( Heb 2:9). Jesus tasted death not just for some, but for everyone who is willing to receive both salvation and healing.
God has planned good for us and He does not change His mind. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Heb13:8). We can pray for ANYONES healing because we know healing is God's will. His Word clearly defined His will for our healing & what we need to do to receive.
Psalm 107:20
On earth, Jesus was God in a body but without His Godly power. He operated just as man (us) should operate, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unbelief is so strong that even Jesus was limited by the great unbelief He encountered in His hometown. Mark 6:5
It doesn't say that He would not, it says He could not, because their great unbelief, limited Him.

I understand your point of view.
I just think we are to speak truthfully and lovingly about brethren, alive today or who lived long ago. I just think that it is wrong to disparage the apostles when we do not know the content of their minds, hearts,or faith.
Your point is well taken.
Those of us today know Jesus from the perspective of completed Scripture. The apostles lived out the events of Jesus' life and, though believing Hom to be the Messiah and Son of God, they did not come to know Hom as Savior until He rose from the dead and gave them understanding of what He was teaching them. So, yes, they were afraid for good reason. If they crucified Jesus, then they, too, we in danger.
We do not know what was in their minds and hearts during this time, but they believed in Jesus and He preserved their faith through all the events of His differing and death.
Because only Jesus knew the apostles thoroughly and we do not, I defend the apostles when people speak against them. As you mentioned, none of us can be so smug as to think we would act any differently than the apostles if we were in their shoes. We should be respectful of them as those hand picked by Jesus to disciple and then send out into the world to spread the good news of Him in a hostile world.
Go on Google. " Type your scripture: Genesis 2:4, commentaries"
It'll bring up several. I like BIBLEHUB. It's fun to look at other websites too ( within the first 5-10 listings)
>> Pulpit Commentary
Verse 4. - These are the generations is the usual heading for the different sections into which the Book of Genesis is divided (vial. Genesis 5:1; Genesis 6:9; Genesis 10:1; Genesis 11:10, 27; Genesis 25:12, 19; Genesis 36:1; Genesis 37:2).
All of these proposals are, however, rendered unnecessary by simply observing that toldoth (from yaladh, to bear, to beget; hence begettings, procreations, evolutions, developments) does not describe the antecedents, but the consequents, of either thing or Person (Rosen., Keil, Kalisch).
>>[Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament]
The historical account of the world, which commences at the completion of the work of creation, is introduced as the "History of the heavens and the earth," and treats in three sections, (a) of the original condition of man in paradise ( Genesis 2:5-25); (b) of the fall ( Genesis 3); (c) of the division of the human race into two widely different families, so far as concerns their relation to God ( Genesis 4).
