"I walk through this sinful world as a 

pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

In bible study a couple of evenings ago we were discussing John 5 and the discussion strayed into Jewish law and I mentioned how I felt pity for the Jews because they were trapped by the Jewish law and when Jesus came to unshackle them they didn't understand the freedom He was offering. Most of our group didn't understand this point, but three of us did, and all three of us consider ourselves "recovering Catholics". We understand being being bound by a set of laws not of Gods making and man crafted traditions. The rest of the guys in our group wouldn't understand things like having to fast before Eucharist (they equate it with communion but to Catholics it's much different) and the intersession of dead people.

It appears that 1 Timothy 2:11-12 is becoming a theme today. Recently Jen Hatmaker chose to ignore biblical teaching apparently in favor of appealing to a liberal audience. "Brandon Hatmaker came out swinging against those who’ve raised alarm at his famous wife. You might say he is now the Mad Hatter (Hey - Someone had to go there!)

I'm sure that 1 Timothy 2:11-12 applies here too
