The vain philosophy of the world will always contain these 5 elements:
1) An attestation (or acquiescence) to the Bible as a helpful book, but not the inspired Word of God (although Catholicism will attest to the Bible as being divine, yet their tradition is placed upon an equal, and most of the time, greater level than the Bible–the church decides what the Word means.)
2) The denial of the Biblical Gospel message of Christ’s vicarious substitutionary atonement on behalf of his elect people which is limited in scope but not its power.
3) The denial of the sinner as morally corrupt, dead in sins, without any ability to will spiritual good, or turn to Christ to repent.
4) The denial of God’s absolute sovereignty in all areas of the created order.
5) A deranged or warped view (or no view) of God in general.

The Battle Cry 
Wonderful and important words. In fact, it can be synthetized as the rejection of God’s sovereignty in all things, circumstances and subjects in which all creature is inserted. God bless you, Dan! Have a nice Sunday!

Paul here is speaking of Jewish law, which was regularly heard by them in the syangogue. Complete obedience to the law could make a man righteous before God, but not just hearing it.
