if it's about 'traditions/precepts of men' then why does it say 'the law' ?
Paul certainly has a big enough Greek vocabulary to use the word for 'traditions of men'
aren't we talking about 'the law'? is it supposed to be, 'for what the completely uninspired, totally man-made & unscriptural traditions could not do, in that they were weak through the flesh.. ' ?
surely you don't believe it's like PS says, the Torah is actually all Moses speaking for a false pagan god?
I'll "try" and explain the best way I can with that which I have to work with.
"Ideally?" The "keeping" of the law of Moses "starts" within one self, from the "moment" one has accepted Jesus Christ as their "Mediator", betweenst oneself and He who sent Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
But? It is "no mystery", that we indeed do not live in such an "ideal" world. Which was the "why" for the whole "tribe of Levi!" So, that God's Priests would not have to
endure the "vexations of spirit" that comes from "the world!" (aka the "garden of Eden incident")
"The World?" And, being
of "the world?" Starts immediately after we are born from water(embryonic sac, for those not familiar with child birth)
INTO "the world."
Christianity, for the most part? Is where one coming "from the world", turns to, as "the
last resort." And, is so joyful, that sin can and indeed
is forgiven? That they now possess a "faith that saves", that they never ever ever consider
Who placed such "obstacles" in their "life journey in flesh", to get them to that point of even
seeking God in the first place!
What's unfortunate, is they only allow God to
heal them to a "certain" point!
Then, what transpires, is a continual disregard to the "warning" that Paul gave to Timothy.
2 Timothy 2
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Of the which? As can be seen "in the world" around us? The
proof of a law! The "law" of
DIMINISHING RETURNS!
Not to "churches of stone" per se. As their "numbers" are growing.
But, to the "spiritual sacrifices" offered TO God BY Jesus Christ!
Meaning, although numbers get larger?
The "Holy Priesthood?"
Becomes SMALLER, in these last days!
As the "son of perdition" becomes more and more "exposed?"
This "should" make it "easier to see", as (to use an analogy) the "doors of the ark" are closing upon this earth and heaven age! In the "revealing" of just how far off course "the church" has veered!
