EKnight:
Could someone explain to me the significance of leavened/unleavened bread?

Hi Eileen,

I have been getting a better understanding of this question in the last few days. This is
what i understand so far, as used in The Scriptures, dual types:

Exodus 12:15:
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven
out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh
day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Signifying separation from Egypt (physical); separation from all Egyptian Idol Worship (Spiritual)

Luke 12:1:
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people,
so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware
you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

The corrupting of the Gospel Of The Kingdom by the pharisees (physical),
The corruption Of the Gospel Of The kingdom through the Age by the pharisaic Church (Spiritual).

Matthew 13:33:
Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took,
and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

In Matthews the opposite; leaven in a Good way; A little leaven (Gospel of the Kingdom) Leavens The Whole Lump.

Hmmmm, sounds a little like you reap what you sow?  For example, if I am infectious, that is, I can effect people around me, either with good or bad.  That is the leaven.   ??? ??? ???

Currently, i am able to understand this much; if someone else has more understanding we
will see and learn more. Meanwhile i will keep on reading the Scriptures, listening to and
reading Ray's lessons and Pray for the ability to understand and communicate God's Word
when called upon. Here are 3 more Scriptures that address that question.

Remember Ray's teaching on the parables;

Mark 4:13:
And he said to them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?

Matthew 16:6:
And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Matthew 16:11:
How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Matthew 16:12:
Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Jesus did not tolerate hypocrites and He rebuked hypocrisy and He exposed double minded, two faced dishonesty.
