Bible Note: So, you are saying that, circumcision, feast days, sabbath days and dietary restrictions, are 'tagged on' by man? Because thats what Paul is talking about. I don't know what you think the law was given for, but according to Scripture, the law was given as a tutor, a teacher, to show the Israelites, and us, that we are sinners; because no one ever kept the whole law, except our Lord Jesus Christ; and according to Scripture, any part of the law that was, or is not kept, means you are guilty of breaking the whole thing. If you're going to keep it, you cant pick and chose; every line, every dot, every title, every thread and every stitch; nothing must be overlooked. How you doin with that? You'll have to show in Scripture (sola Scriptura) where it says that those commandments and doctrines of men spoken about by Paul, are the extra oral portions of the law. |
