Colossians 2:13-23
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.
19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
20 Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules:
21 "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?
22 These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Me too. It's beautiful instruction that teaches us that we shouldn't let anyone judge us for how we keep the Lord's Holy Days.
When you read Colossians you should probably have someone explain the Greek to you so you would understand what is actually being inspired by the Holy Spirit.
[Colossians 2:14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Strong's #1378. dogma (dog'-mah)rom the base of "DOKEO". A law (civil, ceremonial or ecclesiasticaldecree, ordinance.
This was the same law that Our Saviour spoke of in [Mark 7:7-8]....Talmudic traditions of men.....man made law. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
For you to imply that Paul was telling these people of Colosse that he wanted them to ignore God's Law and His special Feast Days and Sabbaths is absolutely untrue. He was telling them about Talmudic law.....and Paul being a trained lawyer [Acts 22:3] had been specifically chosen for this task [Acts 9:15]!
