Berean Strong's Lexicon dogmatizó: To decree, to subject to ordinances Original Word: δογματίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: dogmatizó Pronunciation: dog-mat-id'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (dog-mat-id'-zo) Definition: To decree, to subject to ordinances Meaning: I subject to regulations, decree; mid: I subject myself to regulations, am decree-ridden. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word δόγμα (dogma), meaning "decree" or "ordinance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δογματίζω, the concept of decrees and ordinances can be related to Hebrew terms like חֹק (choq, Strong's H2706) meaning "statute" or "decree." Usage: The verb δογματίζω refers to the act of imposing or subjecting someone to decrees or ordinances. In the New Testament, it is used in the context of adhering to or being bound by religious or ceremonial laws and regulations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, a "dogma" was an authoritative decree or ordinance, often issued by a ruler or governing body. In Jewish and early Christian contexts, it referred to religious laws or traditions. The early church grappled with the tension between Jewish ceremonial laws and the new covenant of grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This tension is evident in the discussions about the necessity of following Jewish laws for Gentile converts.
