WHY I PICK ON TEACHERS OF LAW

WHY DO I PICK ON TEACHERS OF LAW THIS MUCH?

LET THIS SCRIPTURE SPEAK FOR ME...

Titus 1:

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, SPECIALLY THEY OF THE CIRCUMCISION:

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not...

1. THEY ARE UNRULY...

OTHER TRANSLATIONS: REBELIOUS. DISORDERLY. DISOBEDIENT. INSURBORDINATE. NO RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY. REFUSE TO OBEY.

MY TRANSLATION: THEY HAVE LOST BEARING AND BECOME RECKLESS. THEY CAN NO LONGER BE TAUGHT. THEY ARE ON RAMPAGE. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST AND THE GOSPEL.

2. THEY ARE VAIN TALKERS...

OTHER TRANSLATIONS: EMPTY TALKERS. LOOSE-LIPPED. IDLE TALKERS. MEANINGLESS TALKERS. TALK ABOUT WORTHLESS THINGS. SENSELESS BABBLERS. TEACH ABOUT FOOLISH THINGS. CONFUSING TALKS. WINDBAGS. LOUD MOUTHS. MISLEADING TALKERS. NONSENSE TALKERS.

MY TRANSLATION: THEIR TEACHINGS ARE EMPTIED OF GRACE WHICH IS THE POWER OF GOD. THEIR TEACHINGS ARE VOID OF THE LOVE OF GOD. THEY TEACH VANITY RATHER THAN ETERNITY. THEIR MESSAGES ARE GOOD FOR ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. THEIR TEACHINGS DO NOT MAKE SENSE TO GOD. THEY TEACH EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THE GOSPEL.

3. THEY ARE DECEIVERS...

OTHER TRANSLATIONS: SELF-DECEIVERS AND DECEIVERS OF OTHERS. FOOLING OTHERS. DELUDERS OF PEOPLE'S MINDS. SEDUCERS. MISLEAD OTHERS. LEAD INTO THE WRONG WAY. DECEITFUL.

MY TRANSLATION: THEY ARE LEADING BELIEVERS ASTRAY. THEY ARE HINDERING THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. THEY ARE FRUSTRATING THE GRACE OF GOD. THEY ARE LIMITING THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL.

SUCH STRONG WORDS.

WHO ARE THEY?

THEY ARE OF THE CIRCUMCISION

OTHER TRANSLATIONS:

those who insist on circumcision for salvation.

Those who were brought up religious

those (Jews) who insist that (Gentile) believers must (be circumcised and) keep the Law in order to be saved

MY TRANSLATION: THEY ARE THE LEGALISTS. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN CHRIST'S FINISHED WORK. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE WE ARE ETERNALLY SECURE IN CHRIST. THEY EMPOWER SIN ABOVE GRACE. THEY ARE THE BLIND MAKING OTHERS BLIND. tHEY SAY OUR WORK IS NECESSARY IN SALVATION. THEY ARE THE OFFENSE OF THE GOSPEL.

THAT SCRIPTURE SAYS 'THEIR MOUTHS MUST BE STOPPED'

MY MANDATE IS TO DO JUST THAT.

THEY TEACH THINGS WHICH THEY OUGHT NOT...

WE MUST SHUT THEIR FOUNTAIN IN THE SPIRIT...

THIS IS WHY I PICK ON THEM THIS MUCH.

IF JESUS EVER USED VERY STRONG WORDS ON A PEOPLE, HE USED THEM ON THE LEGALISTS.

IF PAUL EVER USED STRONG WORDS ON A PEOPLE, HE USED THEM ON THE LEGALISTS.

I TRY TO BE POLITE. BUT I FEEL NO REMORSE USING STRONG WORDS ON THEM.

I LOVE THEM MUCH AND WANT THEM TO CHANGE.

THAT IS WHY I DO THIS MUCH.
