Contrary to the law

In Acts 18:13 it says that the Jews brought Paul up on charges. What were those charges? “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law?” The phrase, “contrary to the law” stands out to me and makes me wonder. If you read scholars they will ask the question what law? Was it the Roman law forbade anyone from trying to convert Roman citizens to anything deemed “a cult?” Or maybe it was the Jewish law (Torah), which Paul was definitely not preaching against but was in stead preaching of its fulfillment? We know Paul was teaching the doctrine of Christianity, which was protected politically for at least another 10-12 years until Nero became Emperor.
So my concern this morning was, “what was contrary?”
Always trying to find the modern day application for the text I am convinced that many people today are persecuted because they are still persuading people to worship contrary to the law. The problem is that much of our “law” is not a law that is based on truth of scripture or even of the leading of the Holy Spirit, but most of the “laws” that exist in our churches today are traditions of men. Therefore if I can be permitted to make an alteration on the text, I pray that I am a man that persuades others to worship God contrary to tradition.
Traditions are not evil. The problem they present is that we sometimes become so willing to accept traditions that we never learn their foundation or premise. The further away we get from their foundation the further we get from their truth! I want to be as close to the truth of God as I can possibly get! Therefore I pray that God would remove every tradition from my heart and fill it with his truth. I want to worship You, Lord, contrary to my own traditions!
