  7. Lessons Learned • Something may be “legal” (by man’s law), but not lawful (by God’s law) • Something may be morally right, but religiously wrong • For something to be religiously right, it must first be authorized by God in the NT (Col. 3:17) • Misunderstanding this leads to many unscriptural religious practices condemned by God
