[Paul was not a man given to over-indulgence of the appetites. He did not sell his flesh into bondage for material or sensual pleasure. He was a man given to righteousness.
So what did he do?
He sold his bones into bondage for an immaterial pleasure.
He sold his bones, which, in the Old Testament, long to stand before the Lord in righteousness, to a thinkgroup and consciencelacking that had already taken the metaphor and turned it into an instrument for propaganda.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees were all about ritual demands.
They were the “bones” that held Israel together. They were “bloody” servants of ‘the object that brings all subjects into organization’.]
