I have no idea. <BR/><BR/>I have mentioned one detail from the Galatians sermon on the BBB. The pastor talked about the relative importance of Christ's death in comparison to all the other teachings.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I wonder how Paul could say circumcision doesn't matter, but how long your hair is does matter. That is just shifting the emphasis from one outward ritualistic observance to another.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1147163566646321142006-05-09T01:32:00.000-07:002006-05-09T01:32:00.000-07:00The Carelink Ministries seems from a couple that i...The Carelink Ministries seems from a couple that identify themselves as Christadelphians.<BR/>I have never heard of Christadelphians before, but they appear to be a minor group with odd teachings, see <A HREF="http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_delp.htm" REL="nofollow">Religious Tolerance.org</A> and <A HREF="http://www.christadelphian.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Christadelphians - Bible Believing People</A>.<BR/>(What not necessary means they have nothing usefull to say on this subject, but be cautious...)Ruud Vermeijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947453585488967314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1147098734900928642006-05-08T07:32:00.000-07:002006-05-08T07:32:00.000-07:00Kenny, Ruud,There is no text variant for verse 16 ...Kenny, Ruud,<BR/><BR/>There is no text variant for verse 16 "other" rather than "such".

HCSB has "But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God," but NKJV "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God." Reading the NKJV/KJV, I always wondered if Paul was saying "we have no custom of being contentious." HCSB could still be understood as "we have no custom of arguing about head coverings." Also, I don't have my ap. crit. with me; presumably the NU text actually says "we have no other custom," but the Byzantine/TR (which I have on my computer, because they are public domain and NU is not) has "τοιαυτην συνηθειαν ουκ εχομεν", i.e. "we do not have this sort of custom," which makes sense as well if we think it is referring to the custom of being contentious or of wanting to argue about head coverings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1147050317656998732006-05-07T18:05:00.000-07:002006-05-07T18:05:00.000-07:00Ruud,I would like to do one last post on this topi...Ruud,<BR/><BR/>I would like to do one last post on this topic with the Greek for verse 10 "power on your head". <BR/><BR/>I agree with your conclusions. Our pastor preached on Galatians 6 today, and talked about how the gospel is not about "outward religious observances."Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.com
