how do they not? The Jews were weaker because they made rules for everything... some of thier rules were good things, yes, some were even upheld as for everyone at the Council of Jerusalem...
but Paul called them weak for having the rules and not having using freedom in Christ...
the UPC rules absolutely fall under the same heading as what the Jews had... Not because they are bad (the Jews' law wasn't bad, it was directly from God) but because it takes away each individuals ability to commune with God and decide what is right for themselves... It makes them weaker, dependant upon the choices of a man rather than the true choices of God...
