TRIlogy?
So is Christian the new name he named the inward Jew and therefore all Christians would also be called "crossed over"?
Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
If not what are you crossed over from to what?
He informs us Christians we have crossed over form death to life. Does that apply to you also?
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?2Co 2:15

P
Mike I ask because I've taken some cheap shots at you but that's my nature not a excuse so if needed I apologize.
I try to understand where one is coming from and why so if there is any err in there perspective or mine it can be dealt with in love.
I'd like to share a scripture with you and expound on it a little bit. If fact I have two of them if I may.
Psalm 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
. This is a very profound statement from the psalm because the practice was to carry the law everywhere they went. In fact it was carried in a small scroll dangled from a tassel in between the eyes. Along with this some would wear blinders so there eyes were not distracted from the law. A outward appearance of one following the law.
Paul wrote that we are a new creature in Christ The old things have passed away behold all things become new.
18 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.”3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand,
Does the pot tell the potter what he is to be?
You are right we are grafted in but not to practice the old we are a new creature in Christ. So to practice the old could be considered a sin to some. More importantly to insist that we practice is sin. This is some of the reason of the rebuttal you experience. It's not ignorance it's the new thing the Lord says he will do.
[h=1]43:19New King James Version (NKJV)[/h]
19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
And how is this done? By whom?
[h=3]The Servant of the Lord[/h]42 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
5 Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the Gentiles,
7 To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
8 I am the Lord, that is My name;
And My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
[h=3]Praise to the Lord. Just saying[/h]

"So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths."
That is not what the verse says. The devil is surely a trickster. Someone changed it to "for not celebrating". That is a lie.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath
days: (Col 2:16, KJV)
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. (Col 2:16, ESV)
The believers at Colossae were observing God's Holy Days, and their pagan neighbors were ridiculing them for it. Truth.
