Case one breaking spells
1.The mysteries at work: the danger of cult is and mysteries was defined by Paul in galation's was case for the definition of the legal spirit. Angus writes the "when Paul entered the lists on behalf of a religion of the free spirit as against the cult of legalism he is relay opposing magic in religion. legalism places people under a spell of control, these are things added to place in bondage to a man or system of theology or philosophy and rule over those who are unable to discern truth from error.
The Mysteries-Religions linked themselves to pseudo-science, Astrology, and with pseudo -religion, magic.
Magic would soon become the basterd sister to religion, (angus) was the most dangerous ally. Egyptians, geeks and Jews, Samaritans Romans, all practiced the black art, it would be passed on in the all the cultures and teachings of the time and to this day with new names.
Philo provided the corrective to the hardness of legalism and to the degeneracy of trust in God in God to the trust in the law, corresponding to the later degeneration of Christian faith from a religious trust into creedal assent and acceptance of meta physical formula. quote.
Paul on the other hand rather the imitation of a Christian life is a growth in faith as in every grace, perhaps faith must always be viewed as the clue to spiritual progress as well as the crown. I agree the mystery of legalism is with us today it is used to enforce self change not revelatory, the danger of the present the mystery of today tries to unit them.
Unlike philo faith in Paul is not something inferior to the ecstatic or the mystic as superior knowledge is given or which gives it defined in the Greek terms above secular knowledge but derived in personal relationship. word translator clearly defines the difference in the gnosis etc. faith depends wholly on the mystic or supernatural realm provided by God as Spirit. Paul himself is pneumatic. He championed faith as he did the gifts operated in the true body. True faith does not borrow from the mystery religions.
I felt this would help people see the difference and confusion of our time when it comes to the origins that were struggling for power over the masses, the mysteries are as real today as they were than, a proportion are still attached inside Christianity and few know the difference. It's extremely deep and well hidden for the very reason to follow the effect of a seedling, makes a case fro discernment and Sprit led mind., your not likely going to notice and follow often without question.
section 2 B
God hated the religious practices, the Jews added he wanted their hearts,not their religion.(Isa)
HEBREW RELIGION; was differentiated from all other religions of antiquity by personal trust in living God. This to restore a personal relationship with him. Mysteries were unable they were man centered, or a esoteric spirit, this would once again insert itself in process of progression into after the first century as the hierarchy of pagan origin began to set in.
\
The mysteries lived in the offices and power struggles for control and wealth was not far behind. Present day religion is largely missed what Paul based value on.. escaping the grip of the mysteries requires a total change and honest attitude for the truth.
getting back Jesus !
