You posted commentary prior, when you said the law had weak and beggarly elements, and proceeded to post a verse out of context, that did not confirm your previous statement.

If you didn’t want to suggest that the law had weak and beggarly elements, it would have been better to not post a verse implying an answer to my question.not true .... i only quoted the verse in my post 152 in response to your question in post 151 in relation to your reply to post 147 .... truth be told i never even heard of the phrase "beggarly elements" as even though i use many translations including the KJV .. i mostly use the Berean literal and study bible translations where this wording does not appear, and so i had to do a word search, and it was with this in mind i replied to you ....
however with this said i am in complete agreement with post 156 ....
So I assume you believe he was talking to different people in chapter 3 than he was in chapter 4?
Chapter 4 as it continues ...
21Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Paul addresses their previous life of worshipping false gods, and how they did not know God when doing soHowbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Let’s stay focused on the weak and beggarly elements, so you can correctly understand what they are.
Galatians 4:7-8
Paul addresses their previous life of worshipping false gods, and how they did not know God when doing so
the Galatians were previously in bondage, while servicing those false gods, and did not know God, nor were they known by God.
he is asking them why they would return to THAT - they were not previously obeying God’s law - they did not know
God, and were in bondage according to all their weak and beggarly elements
the Galatians could not “return again” to do something they previously were not doing.

When people confuse this verse; it's an example of how indoctrination can blind them to what is right before their eyes.
Funny ...
Why do you find this to be funny?
I find it to be tragic.
Perception's everything ...
Can I receive sabbath in fullness on other days or is this just a once a week sort of thing? If so who gives me that sabbath? is it given to me based on what I do or what the giver has done for me?
Still waiting to see where Paul references these weak and beggarly elements of the lawi did not imply by suggestion, but gave an explicit reference
