The details and receipts:

- foolishness → demanding rivers of blood and greasy smoke that you later call “useless” (Lev 1–7 whole system; Gen 8:21 “sweet savour”; yet Isa 1:11–13 “I delight not in the blood of bulls… incense is an abomination”; Ps 50:13 “Do I eat the flesh of bulls?”)

Jesus: “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” (Luke 11:13) → no blood, no smoke, just pure gift of the Spirit.

- weakness → obsessed with scrubbed cups, pots, and beds (Mark 7:4 “washing of cups, pots, bronze vessels and dining couches”; Lev 15 ritual purity minutiae expanded in tradition)

Jesus: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness… Give as alms what is inside, and behold, everything is clean for you” (Luke 11:39–41). Food rules abolished in one sentence.

- dishonour → shaming the flesh already ashamed, forcing circumcision and nakedness taboos (Gen 2:25 “naked and not ashamed” → Gen 3:7–10 shame; Gen 17:10–14 circumcision; Lev 18–20 sexual shame laws)

Jesus: touches lepers (Luke 5:13), lets a bleeding woman touch Him (Luke 8:43–48), and says “Your faith has saved/healed you” never carries shame.

- pettiness → eye for eye, tooth for tooth (Exod 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deut 19:21)

Jesus: “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you… If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also” (Luke 6:27–29).

- contempt → banning the foods you once blessed and called “very good” (Gen 1:29–31 every herb & tree given; Gen 9:3 “every moving thing” permitted → Lev 11 & Deut 14 suddenly “unclean” lists)

Jesus: never mentions food laws once; feeds 5,000 with ordinary bread (Luke 9:12–17), eats with tax collectors and sinners without purity rituals (Luke 5:30; 15:1–2), and in the parable of the Prodigal the Father kills the fatted calf—no “clean/unclean” ever crosses His lips (Luke 15:23).

This jealous, blood-thirsty, contradiction-riddled Elohim is NOT the Father whom Christ revealed to us.
