COLOSSIANS 2:16-17
|
16)let no man therefore
judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of
holyday, or of the new
moon or of the Sabbath
days
17)Which are a shadow of
things to come; but the
body is of CHRIST
|
LET NO MAN JUDGE YOU IN
MEAT
Since we are complete in
CHRIST, have everything in
him, were circumcised in
him, and particularly since
the handwriting of the law
was blotted out, and torn to
pieces through the nails of
|
|
the cross of CHRIST
COLOSSIANS 2:14, we are
not to be judge by any man,
as to the observance of the
ceremonial law: in meat or
in drink.
Seeing these things are so
and the ceremonial laws is
external, let no one
attached to it, none should
be condemned: nor hath
power to judge and suffer
not anyone to impose upon
you that which is not after
CHRIST, since we have been
delivered by CHRIST and
GOD in him, from evils,
The true approach To GOD
is CHRIST, rule and rituals
are only shadows in
approaching GOD: CHRIST is
the real body that enables
us to approach GOD and to
please him, he is the perfect
SON of GOD; that keep all
the rules and never brake a
single rule, he was sinless,
the perfect man, that stands
before the human race as
the ideal man, the pattern
to whom every man is now
to look on.
We no longer have rules
and rituals to lead us to
GOD; we have a human life,
the very body of CHRIST
himself- a body that lied life
just like GOD, therefore, we
are no longer to approach
GOD through rules and
rituals, but through CHRIST,
* CHRIST is to be the
focus and concentration
of our lives,:
* CHRIST is our only
approach to GOD
CHRIST is our only
acceptance by GOD
* We are only to Focus
upon CHRIST, which is
the only way we can
please GOD
Rules and rituals were
shadows that were used by
GOD before CHRIST came,
they were used by GOD to
teach men that nothing
could provide real life, not
the real substance of life
that satisfies and give
absolute assurance of living
for ever wit GOD, rules and
regulation never satisfy the
human heart, only the
presence of GOD living in
human heart can satisfy
man, as no rule no ritual can
give life assurance of man,
JESUS CHRIST is the real
substance of life, body life
that can bring us to GOD
and present us as
acceptable to GOD

COLOSSIANS 2:18
|
18)Let no man beguile you
of your reward in a
voluntary humility and
worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things
which he hath not seen,
vainly puffed up by his
fleshly mind
|
LET NO MAN BEGUILE YOU
OF WORSHIPING OF
ANGELS
The false approach to GOD
is spiritism, the worship of
GOD through angels or
spirits, people tend to feel
GOD is far off in outer space
someplace or in some
unreachable , they feel to
sinful and unworthy to
approach GOD therefore
they feel the need of
intermediaries, who can
present their live situation
to GOD , as a result men
tend to look and pray for
lesser beings such as angels
and other turn to seek deep
spiritual experiences in
order to know GOD and
secure his help in life, it is a
false humility in this
approach to GOD.
The true approach to GOD
is through JESUS CHRIST, is
the head, the only mediator
who can stand before GOD
and secure the approval and
acceptance of GOD for men
and secure the love and
care for men, no Spirit, no
angel no vision can do what
JESUS CHRIST can do, those
who worship angels,
disclaim CHRIST who is only
the mediator between GOD
and man.
JESUS CHRIST alone has
access to GOD’s presence in
behalf of man, CHRIST alone
before GOD as
representative or Head of
man, no other person or
spirit can stand before GOD
in behalf of men, man
cannot approach GOD nor
receive the help of GOD
through any other means
other than his son, the
LORD JESUS, no power no
Spirit and vision can .

COLOSSIANS 2:20
|
20)Wherefore if ye be dead
with CHRIST from the
rudiments of the world,
why, as though living in the
world , are ye subject to
ordinances
|
WHEREFORE IF YE BE DEAD
WITH CHRIST
The were dead with CHRIST
by virtue of union to him,
they being one with him,
and considered in him as
their head and
representative, died in him,
and with him they were
crucified with him, as they
are said to be buried with
him, and risen with him,
they were dead with him by
having communion with him
and partook of the benefits
of it, as redemption,
pardon, justification and
reconciliation; and they
were planted together with
him in likeness of his death,
they were dead to the
ceremonial laws, and were
free from the rudiments or
elements of this world
THE RUDIMENTS OF THE
WORLD
Believers are dead with
CHRIST and not subject to
man’s crude notion about
GOD and the world, they
enslave and subject men to
the rules and teachings of
men, from the element of
principle which are worldly
nature and which reign
among worldly men the
superstitious observance
imposed as part of divine
worship.
It is man’s idea and
philosophies down through
the centuries men have
posed all kind of forces,
energies, powers,
principalities, spirits, angels
and beings as standing
behind the universe and
life, as a result men have
committed their lives and
worship all sort of creatures
and forces or element and
materials
All that seek to approach
GOD through the elements
of this universe or angels is
dooms. As a result of our
sin, has to go through the
experience of death and
conquer it and tell us how
to do it, this is the glorious
gospel, GOD is love eternal
and infinite love, so he has
|
|
done all this for us, he did it
through his SO, JESUS
CHRIST
GOD’S SON, JESUS CHRIST,
has secured righteousness
for us, he came to earth and
lived a sinless and perfect
life, he stood before GOD as
the ideal and perfect man,
who took our sins upon
himself and die for them, he
took our judgment and bore
the punishment for our
imperfections of sins, then
he arose and conquered
death.
Since we died with CHRIST
to the basic principle of the
world, the death is the way
GOD establishes to
approach him: to repent
and turn from the
rudiments of the world, that
is the man approach and to
believe that GOD’S SON
died for us, bearing his
punishments and death,
JESUS CHRIST has done it for
us, then we are free from
having to seek after GOD
through rules, laws, angels,
spirits and through forces,
and energies of the universe
, once we accept JESUS
CHRIST we believe in the
righteousness of GOD,

COLOSIANS 2:21-22
|
21)Touch not: taste not;
handle not
22)Which all are to perish
with the using; after the
commandments and
doctrine of men
|
TOUCH NOT TASTE HANDEL
NOT
Man made philosophy or
man made approach to
GOD is that they enslave
and subject men to rules
and teachings of men that
man can please GOD by
controlling the defilement
and weakness of the flesh,
that man can secure GOD’S
|
|
approval by presenting a
clean and pure body to
GOD, therefore they
decided to come up with all
rules necessary to eat the
right food and to take care
of their bodies, person
might have the healthiest
and most pure body in the
world, but that person is
still imperfect and still dies,
health and morality, no
matter how clean and pure ,
do not keep us from aging
and dying, we are still
corrupt and are still going
the way of all flesh, the way
of death and separation
from GOD.
The ritual and the use of
ceremonial law of
prohibition in question
would be those of the
Mosaic Law, developed and
exaggerated by religionist,
which they added their own
rules and regulation
ordinance to various kind of
food and drinks, which is
constantly saying, in regards
to them:
TOUCH NOT: the dead body
of any man, the bone of a
man or grave, any man or
woman in their
uncleanness: not of the
flesh, but the bed they lay
or seat on or any creature
that was by the unclean or
a sinner or common man
nor of a Gentile ,hence the
Pharisees used to wash
themselves when they
return from market, lest
they should have been by
any means accidently
defiled by touching any
thing unclean, which gives
many rule, and is full of
regulation about things that
defiles by touching, likewise
taste not, neither the fat, of
any creature
And they say do not come
near, or draw nigh a Gentile,
to one of another nation
for which they forbid any
conversation
The point is that philosophy
and idea of man enslave us;
they force us to commit our
lives to them and to focus
upon them and leave us
enslave to the bondage of
death..
Life in JESUS CHRIST is not
slavery; it is freedom, is a
life freed corruption and
death, a life , which is
already acceptable to GOD,
your task is to focus upon
GOD’S SON,
* To study his life and will
* To follow and pattern
your life after his life
* To serve him in his
mission, giving all you
are and have to reach
all men with the Gospel
of eternal life
The life in JESUS is enslaved
by nothing, it is set free
from all the elements and
materials of this world
including death, man is to
focus upon JESUS CHRIST,
not upon the enslaving
elements of this world, and
he is certainly not to focus
upon man’s fluctuating
notion of GOD and how to
approach him.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2
|
1)now the spirit speaketh,
expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed
to seducing spirits and
doctrines of the devils
2)Speaking lies in hypocrisy,
having their conscience
seared with a hot iron
|
NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKETH
EXPRESSLY
Evidently the Holy Spirit:
expressly declared in words,
not by mere hints, and
symbols, and shadowy
images it is open and plain
manner, the prophecy came
from the Spirit of GOD,
which is now present,
according to our LORD
JESUS CHRIST, who foretold
that false prophet would
arise and deceive many
But there will be false
teachers, evil heresies,
subverting this great
mystery of godliness,
IN THE LATER TIMES S, they
will turn from the LORD
JESUS CHRISTOME SHALL
DEPART FROM THE FAITH
That is false teachers were
to arise within the CHRUCH
al most immediately and
continue on through our
day and on to the end of
time, the point here, the
believer have to be
constantly on guard against
false teachings, which is a
clear warning of GOD’S
Spirit, by denying what is
true, by adding what is
false, departing from the
doctrine of faith. They will
turn away from the LORD
JESUS CHRIST, away from
the death and resurrection
of the LORD
GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING
SPERIT False teachers
follow deceiving Spirit and
things taught by demons,
there are all kinds of evil
spirit , throughout the
world, spirit that are set on
seducing and deceiving
people, they are set on
leading people to follow
them and their ideas and
teachings, they do all they
can to turn people away
from the doctrine and faith
in CHRIST.
False teacher are
hypocritical liars, they teach
some thing different from
what the scripture says, and
they know it, they take
pride in their stand against
the scripture, he denies,,
refute or ignore the
scripture, who teaches
either to doctrines which
are of a deceiving nature: or
to men who profess to have
the Spirit of GOD, but are
evil men and seducers, that
lie in wait to deceive, and
handle the word of GOD
deceitfully
AND DOCTRINE OF THE
DEVILS
Such as are devised by
devils, as all damnable
doctrine; and all lying ones,
for the devil is the father of
them; and all the false
doctrine introduced by
ANTI_CHRIST, for his coming
was after the working of
Satan,; and particularly
those doctrine of his
concerning worshiping of
angels, and Saints departed,
who for their cunning and
sophistry, for their lies and
hypocrisy, for their malice,
and murdering of the souls
of men, are comparable to
devil.
False teachers are
hardened, and insensitive, it
does not bother most false
teachers to teach contrary
to the scripture , they can
ignore or deny the scripture
and present their own ideas
it does not bother at all,
they are totally insensitive
to the preaching and
convictions of GOD’S Spirit
