Bro. Blume,
So many false religions are started by taking one scripture, or one portion of a scripture, and basing a whole philosophy/doctrine on it. That is why it is so important to study the word, in the correct context, and to rightly divide it.
Paul showed such awesome wisdom when repremanding the Jewish leaders/converts when they tried to make the Gentile converts follow the Jewish law they had been delivered from. To go back to the law with its regulations and traditions would render Christ's work on the cross to no avail.
I accept the grace of God in my life and I fight daily to keep myself free from those weights of judgmentalism, and works based traditions that kept me bound in shame and condemnation. No matter how hard I worked or how holy I looked - I never flet good enough. Now I just accept that I am not good enough - BUT HE is all I need. His grace covers my humanity.
Blessings, Rhoni
