I find it interesting that when the truth makes someone uncomfortable, they feel that they have to come back with emotional responses. G1378 is dogma, dogma is religious law of man. That is just plain fact. Divine law has never been dogma and dogma has never been Divine.

I also don't know where you got that long winded vesion of James 3:17. My bible says one who is wise and understanding shows it in ones actions and according to YHVH, we are not to twist His Word, but to lift Him up by keeping His Word pure.

(and I was using Strongs) (G1378- 1) doctrine, decree, ordinance a) of public decrees b) of the Roman Senatence c) of rulers 2) the rules and requirements of the law of Moses; carrying a suggestion of severity and of threatened judgment 3) of certain decrees of the apostles relative to right living)

You were using Thayers, not Strongs. Why lie about it?

G1378 δόγμα dogma Thayer Definition: 1) doctrine, decree, ordinance 1a) of public decrees 1b) of the Roman Senate 1c) of rulers 2) the rules and requirements of the law of Moses; carrying a suggestion of severity and of threatened judgment 3) of certain decrees of the apostles relative to right living Part of Speech: noun neuter A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from the base of G1380 Citing in TDNT: 2:230, 178

Srong's simply says

G1378 δόγμα dogma dog'-mah From the base of G1380; a law (civil, ceremonial or ecclesiastical): - decree, ordinance.

LXX related word(s) H633 esar H1881 dat H2942 teem H3791 ketav

So the least you can do in the future is be honest. And you could least be honest about the word law as they are not all created equal. One can not take just any verse with the word law in it and assume they all mean the same thing because they do not.

It would have behooved you to actually look up the word law that is used in Gal 3:10-13 because it is not G1378, it is G3551.

G3551 νόμος nomos nom'-os From a primary word νέμω nemō (to parcel out, especially food or grazing to animals); law (through the idea of prescriptive usage), generally (regulation), specifically (of Moses [including the volume]; also of the Gospel), or figuratively (a principle): - law.

LXX related word(s) H1697 davar H1881 dat H2703 chuqqah H2706 choq H4687 mitsvah H4941 mishpat H6600 pitgam H8452 torah

Gal 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?... 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years

These are in reference to pagan religious practices, not the Divine Appointments and Weekly Sabbaths of YHVH... We are called to keep His Word pure and that is all I am doing. Putting the religious dogma of man where is belongs by lifting up the truth of His Word.

Do not accuse another Freeper of telling a lie. It attributes motive, the intent to decieve. It is "making it personal."

Words such as "false" "error" "wrong" do not attribute motive.

Discuss the issue all you want but do not make it personal.
