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; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 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: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
(Col 2:14-17 KJV)
Verse 14 reads in the Greek the handwriting to the ordinances that were against us; not the handwriting of ordinances. The Decalogue is of the Ordinances, not the handwriting to the ordinances. The Ordinances are the Decalogue and the Commandments and Statutes contained in the Book of the Law that pertained to righteousness. These are they which let us know what sin is. These Were not against us. The Judgements and Statutes that related to when we sin are.
And having spoiled (stripping off) principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Through Christ there is no need for the principalities and powers; the handwriting to the ordinances contained in the Book of the Law that were mandated due to our sinning because through Jesus we do not need them. They condemned us due to our sinning. We now have victory over sin through Christ. And if we do sin we have an Advocate (Helper) toward the Father; Jesus Christ!
The Ten Commandments are not against us only the statutes and judgement in the Book of the Law in relation to when we sin were.
Take this Book of the Law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
(Deu 31:26 KJV)
Mind you it was the judgements that were against us not those Laws to which showed us our sin. Colossians needs to be understood correctly. Ordinances would be any Law contained there in that dealt with our Spiritual and physical well being. Not all that Moses penned was against us. Not all was judgements (cursing)
For GOD has said, I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
(Deu 30:19-20 KJV)
Blessings and cursings were contained in the Book of the Law. Obviously the blessings are not against us only the cursings in relation to when we sin are.
