ok, let's look at it another way.

Some of you shun the "ceremonial" laws of the Bible, such as the Holy Days, but?,..

you accept the Dec25 ritual? (as I did for a time)
even when there is nowhere in the New Testament that suggests the Dec25 ritual.
and I am not even touching on the walmart gods yet.


How does that work?

Shun the ceremonial laws by not judging one another in respect to them? It would seem we are obeying not shunning?

How did get shunning out of obeying?

They are not moral laws any more than could a wedding ring unite people as a sign. No sign does not take away from the fact they are in union with another. The Jew sought after signs, as shadows in that way. Christ has come. The results of the refomation are here.

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:
 
Well I guess all of us Christmas celebrating fool are going to burn in hell. Do you even look at yourself in the mirror and see the error in your own beliefs and thoughts? You sound just like a Pharisee.

well, to be honest, I have questioned my own belief system many times. This is where I am at.
I didn't say anything about burning in hell.
I am not here to condemn anyone. I like all ya'll. (I'm southern).
I just hope we all can be transformed to be the servant God wants us to be.

just a quest for truth, sir.
that adversary is tricky!
 
Matthew 7: 7-9
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 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.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Is my bible program messed up or is this not Matthew 7:7-9. Think you meant Mark

And I find it funny how you left out Verse 6.

Mark 7:6 (NASB)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

So adding verse 6 makes the context a bit different.

God's very M.O.? He does take what is evil and turn it to good, but do you see the evil of cannibalism turned to good? Should we start eating human flesh for the purpose of communion to make it fit a way of life verses a way a faith. Satanic sacrifice, should we start sacrificing humans in the name of Cross? Mixing what is evil with what is good isn't the same things as God turning what was meant for evil into good.

Our eyes are focused on Christ while your eyes focus on self pride, and that DM, is in direct conflict with the 1st Commandment.

If that is what you would consider turning evil to good, I would say you have a rather perverse understanding of "good".
