Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Beameup, why don't you write down your point? All of us could sit here all day and quote scripture, and no one would know what anyone was trying to say.

Strong's: paidagógos: -- a boy's guardian or tutor, a slave who had charge of the life and morals of the boys of a family
HELPS: paidagōgós: -- a legally appointed overseer, authorized to train (bring) up a child by administering discipline, chastisement, and instruction
Thayer's: παιδαγωγός -- a guide and guardian of boys. Among the Greeks and Romans the name was applied to trustworthy slaves who were charged with the duty of supervising the life and morals of boys belonging to the better class. The boys were not allowed so much as to step out of the house without them before arriving at the age of manhood

Other than for its' great, highly useful, word concordance as an aid in the comparison of the use of words with the use of words in the various passages, put away your Strong's, and get back to the Scripture for your answers.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

It was never meant for you.
Why is that so hard to understand?

What is your point in all this quoting?

A YHWH-Witness wouldn't understand.

Grace has been given by God that reprieves Christians of sin covered by Jesus' blood. The law is needed to convict people of their sin to bring them to Christ. "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law" (Romans 3:31). I am still studying the commandments in the Bible. “If you love Me,” Jesus said, “keep My commandments” (John 14:15).

The Galatians were Gentiles and Hellenist Jews who renounced the law.
The pedagog left his office when a son reached adulthood, signified by the Father placing the adult toga upon him.
We are to put on Christ as a garment.
We can reach spiritual adulthood because the Father has given us Messiah. The law has been annulled and is not the rule of life for me. King David could not reach spiritual adulthood because of this pedagog/law
We can and will if we practice grace living after the Law of Liberty.

Paul had to deal with the "Law Question" because most early Christians were Jews. It was never relevant to Gentiles, and I do not understand why people here keep going on about it.
The customs and traditions of others often look absurd and ridiculous to an intolerant observer.

The "traditions of men" was precisely what Jesus came to expose, because Judaism had "created a god in their own image", that no longer represented YHWH.
Adding an endless number of man-made "laws" to Moses as if that somehow "pleased" YHWH, when in fact it had the opposite effect, and made YHWH a mockery among the Gentiles.
Now, 2,000 years later, it appears that nothing has changed.
Speaking of absurd: if anybody created a new God, it was not the Jews. The most we did was develop some additional traditions and customes. Christians developed a new man-god.
