"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
tradition: greek: paradosis: a precept, ordinance. from paradidomi: to surrender, yield up, intrust, transmit; betray, bring forth, cast, commit, deliver (up), give (over), hazard, put in prison, recommend.
tradition = giving up {normality}, surrender to some -thing/one, yielding to some -thing/one. COMMIT TO SOME-THING/ONE, GIVING YOURSELF UP TO IT.
By submitting to tradition we commit ourselves to it, whether it be to something or someone. Break free of traditions and find freedom in Christ.
freedom: hebrew: chuphshah. from chaphash. liberty. to be free (from slavery)
Don't be a slave to tradition - only Christ.
slave: greek: soma. the body (as a sound whole) Bodily, Body, Slave.
Body = Slave. Slave (bond servant?) of Christ = Body of Christ
People are being decieved every day. I am so glad I have freedom in Christ!!
