On Titus 1 v13-
Paul readily saw the gangrene of "Jewish myths" (fables) and "commands of men" (man-made rules)that turn from the truth.
Religious speculations that go either beyond or against Scripture and rules and regulations that add works to grace are man centered rather than Christcentered, are humanistic rather than Christocentric.
Paul says we must confront and denounce them for the the lies they are.

Note- This is a great commentary series published by B&H. The clear outlines of the Biblical text are worth the price of the book.
