1 | eisegesis and formula | Gal 4:10 | djconklin | 28338 | ||
It is interesting to note how many people use thise verse as a condemnation of keeping holy days without a trace of it appearing in the verse itself! This is called eisegesis. The word translated here as "month" is never used for the new moon which suggests to me that Paul isn't talking about it. Another fact is that this sequence of terms never appears elsewhere in the Bible. Also, there is a "formula" in the OT that does list the ceremonial days (see Col. 2:16 in the NT for example) and it is nowhere near like this list. Perhaps Paul isn't even talking about the ceremonial days here? But, then what is he talking about? |

Nothing other than say once again you row your boat upstream. Most every accepted, credited, trusted and in my opinion correct theologian takes what you call the “eisegesis” position, however I believe their position to be based on sound exegesis. It is really you who are trying to read something into this, and it simply isn’t there. Paul is saying your free from the law and sin, you fickled Galatians, each time get into legalism, it is as if I (Paul) preached and taught in vain. It is nearly the same message Paul preached in Colossus of course you disagree with that also. EdB |

Well, if their opinions were based on sound exegesis then you shouldn't have any trouble dealing with the few points that I showed. Paul is saying in Galatians that keeping the law cannot save you. There is no argument on that point. What the antinomians do is leap beyond that (eisegesis) and say that therefore we don't have to keep the law at all--which point Paul rebutted in Romans. Why should I disagree with truth? Why the lame attempt at a personal attack? See point #2 when you got to post. |
