Colossians 2:14 "Blotted 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;"
There is a difference between law and ordinances. Paul is not talking about the Law here , but blood ordinances ( rituals ) .
In the Greek it can even be translated "dogma".
Christ nail all those ordinances of blood sacrifices and ritual to the cross.
He blotted out the requirement ,for those ordinances.
Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"
God abolished through the flesh of Jesus Christ not the law, but the "the law of commandments contained in ordinances ".
The law was Not done away with, but the ordinances that are in the law.
When we are in Christ an He in us there is true peace and that is the only real peace. The world today is crying peace, peace , and the world is full of violence everywhere.
Ephesians 2:16 "And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"
When we understand better the Word of God ; we can know exactly what kind of peace the new world order of the final generation would bring along with Antichrist. And what kind of Peace God's plans bring ( Matthew 24:32 ) . Its all written in detail in the Bible, that's why all His words are important. They never change.
Colossians 2:15 "And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triuphing over them in it."
In Christ Himself, He gave us power over even Satan himself. So we don't need to hold back or be afraid of anything. None of us are perfect, but when we fall short we are brought back into the perfection of Christ through our repentance. There is forgiveness in Christ by our Heavenly Father every time we come back to Him. He loves you very much. We have power over Satan, and He expects us to use that power and have victory over him. We can order evil spirits out of your life and back to where they came from.
Colossians 2:16 "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:"
Don't let any man judge us about the ordinances that were nailed to the cross with Christ. That was the subject just prior .
God is not a respecter of person, God has a plan for us. And this chapter has been steering us away from traditions of men, and into what is real in His Word.
We are not to allow any person to judge us on those things that God has ordained us to be eaten and drunk . A holy day is a feast day that has been set aside just for worship, or for worshipping or respecting any day over another.
"Sabbath" in the Hebrew means "rest". Hebrews4: , makes it very clear that Christ is our rest every day of the week.
It's saying don't put one day above another in respecting Christ, for we are required to put Christ foremost every day of our lives.
The "new moon" is going by a moon calendar, a calendar of Satan; ( 1 Thessalonians 5:4 ) and we are not children of the night, but of the day. All places in the Scriptures concerning and given in moons ( or months ) deal with Satan's people, and those given in days and years deal apply to the children of God. When we become a child of God, we should rest in Christ every day of the week, and respect all days alike.
Colossians 2:17 "Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
This is exactly what those old feast days were, a shadow of the things to come. What is given in times, moons, feast days and sabbaths of old are examples, a school teacher of what Christ would become. Christ is our Passover.
Colossians 2:18 "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,"
Nothing vain about God's words. If its written in his Law. its meant for us to absorb and read with understanding.
